THE PAST TENSE CONTINUOUS
(Verlaufsform der Mitvergangenheit)

Auch in der Mitvergangenheit gibt es zwei Möglichkeiten, eine Handlung auszudrücken.

He was playing the violin.
Er spielte Geige.
He played the violin.

In beiden Fällen hat die Handlung keinen Bezug zur Gegenwart. Die Verlaufsform zeigt an, dass die Handlung zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt in der Vergangenheit noch nicht abgeschlossen war.

Bildung:
was/were + -ing-Form des Verbs

Verwendung:

1) Für länger andauernde Handlungen, die zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt in der Vght. statt fanden.
John was listening to music.
Yesterday it was raining all day long.

2) Wenn zwei Handlungen zur gleichen Zeit statt fanden - while = während
While mother was ironing, father was mowing the lawn.

3) Für eine längere Handlung, die von einer kurzen unterbrochen wird. - when (als)
We were going home, when we saw the accident.


Question/Negation:
Jack was learning.
Was Jack learning?
Jack was not learning.

They were swimming.
Were they swimming?
They were not swimming.

Bildung:
Es gibt für alle Personen nur eine Form, die bei vielen Zeitwörtern durch Anhängen von –ed gebildet wird.
I played – ich spielte
You played – du spieltest
He played – er spielte
She played – sie spielte
It played – er, sie, es spielte

We played - wir spielten
You played – ihr spieltet

Verwendung:
Die Past Tense Simple wird für Handlungen verwendet, die völlig vorbei sind und keinen Bezug zur Gegenwart haben.

Signalwörter:

last weeek (month, year) - letzte Woche (Monat, Jahr)
in 2001
the day before yesterday - vorgestern
three days (minutes, weeks, months, years) ago - vor drei Tagen (Minuten, Wochen, Monaten, Jahren)

Es gibt aber auch Zeitwörter, deren Past Tense nicht durch Anhängen von –ed gebildet werden.

to have – had haben - hatte
