Episode Synopsis "15. How to use Past Continuous Tense?"

Past Continuous tense describes actions that were happening at some point in the past. The action wasn't completed at the reference time, it was in progress. Examples: I was sleeping when the thief broke in. The dog was running behind a cat when he saw the wolf. I was studying when you came. Sudha was singing when the fan dropped down.
