Объяснение:

Past Continuous — это прошедшее длительное время, которое указывает на событие или процесс, длившийся в определенный период времени в прошлом. Причем, этот момент в прошлом обязательно должен быть указан.

Past Continuous образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be в прошедшем времени (was для единственного числа и were для множественного числа) и первой формы глагола с окончанием -ing (простое причастие настоящего времени).
