Transcript


00:03	Oh , wow . Really ? You know , all
00:14	right , Are while you were working on it ,
00:22	did you tell people about this ? I told you
00:25	know , a few friends , you know about it
00:28	. And people were very encouraging . They thought it
00:31	was a great idea , you know ? Great .
00:35	Let me ask you to recall one more detail from
00:37	the interview before Eric finished his work on the new
00:42	. Did he tell anyone about it ? Yes .
00:47	He said he told a few friends . My question
00:51	. Waas while you were working on it , did
00:55	you tell people about it ? Let's write the bourbon
01:02	while you were working on it , Did you tell
01:05	people about it ? This is an example of the
01:09	past progressive . We use a form of be in
01:13	the past waas or were plus the present participle .
01:20	It ends an I N g . Why do we
01:23	use the past progressive ? Well , we're also referring
01:27	toa a past action . But now we're referring to
01:30	an action that was not finished . We're looking to
01:34	the past at a specific time , But at that
01:37	time the action was still taking place . It did
01:42	not end , So he was working . And as
01:46	he was working , he told this friend and that
01:49	friend and perhaps one more friend . Be careful ,
01:55	though , just because you see a form of B
01:58	and then later a word that ends and I m
02:01	G doesn't mean that you have a progressive verb .
02:05	Let me show you an example . Eric said he
02:08	told friends about it , and people were very encouraging
02:13	. Encouraging . They supported his work . At first
02:24	glance , this could look like the past progressive we
02:28	have were , and then we have I n g
02:31	. But is that really the past progressive ? No
02:36	, because we're describing the people they were encouraging .
02:40	This word is an adjective describing people . We actually
02:46	have the simple past . That's because we cannot use
02:52	the past progressive to talk about past states passed conditions
02:57	or past emotions . Normally , non action verbs do
03:02	not appear in progressive tenses , so be careful .
03:11	So the past progressive expresses actions . Were events in
03:15	progress at a past point in time there unfinished .
03:19	The emphasis is on the activity as it occurred .
03:25	Be sure you understand when to use the simple past
03:28	and when to use the past . Progressive first non
03:32	action verbs are not usually used in the progressive ,
03:36	so express past states or conditions with the simple past
03:41	. Second , we can use the simple past to
03:43	refer to an action that interrupted a process . The
03:48	process is expressed by the past progressive . As I
03:57	mentioned the past , Progressive uses a past form of
04:00	B plus the present participle , which is the I
04:03	N g form of the verb . So , for
04:05	example , work becomes working . I was working ,
04:08	He was working , She was working , It was
04:12	working . You were working . We were working .
04:15	They were working with negative forms . And short answers
04:21	will just use that form of B . So use
04:24	a negative form of be in the past , plus
04:27	the present participle to form the negative . As in
04:31	, I wasn't playing . We weren't playing short answers
04:36	to Yes , no questions will look like this .
04:38	Were you playing ? Yes , I waas No ,
04:41	I wasn't . Let's review all the verb tenses we've
04:49	studied to date in this exercise . Choose the best
04:53	form of the verb to complete the sentence . One
05:04	answer be . Earlier this year , Eric began toe
05:09	work on the second new . A specific time was
05:13	mentioned to answer C . Look , this is something
05:24	else that Eric is working on . it's almost finished
05:29	. This is a present time frame , and the
05:32	work is not finished yet . Three . Answer be
05:45	I'm sorry , Were you practicing ? I didn't mean
05:48	to interrupt . The activity that was in progress requires
05:53	the past progressive . The action that caused the interruption
05:58	requires the simple past . Four . Answer . C
06:10	. Paul stopped listen to one song and then continued
06:15	on . This is a Siris of actions . Finished
06:19	actions in the past . Five . Answer . Well
06:33	, this one's a bit tricky . I don't think
06:35	she is really incorrect , but I do feel that
06:38	B is the best answer choice . I would read
06:40	the sentence as follows . They weren't playing any songs
06:44	I knew , but I continue to sit and listen
06:48	. I feel there's emphasis here on activity . You
06:51	could ask . Well , what were the musicians doing
06:55	? What songs were they playing while you sat there
06:57	and while you listened , there's an emphasis on activity
07:02	rather than completion of action . Six . Answer .
07:15	See , the guitarist was playing so fast I couldn't
07:19	follow the finger work here . We need a past
07:24	action , but not a completed one . There's emphasis
07:27	on the process . That process of playing seven Answer
07:42	. A . Neal sings and plays the guitar really
07:46	well . He has performed at a few parties .
07:49	You should hear him sometime . I feel the present
07:53	Perfect is the best answer choice here because performing is
07:56	a past action . But there's a connection to the
07:59	present . We have the knowledge that he sings and
08:02	plays well . There's also connection to the future .
08:06	There's a possibility he will play again . He'll perform
08:09	again so you'll have the chance to hear him .
08:14	Eight . Answer A . The guys were nervous at
08:23	first , but after the first song , they started
08:26	playing just fine . Here . We need the simple
08:29	past because nervous is an emotion estate . And we
08:33	can express that in the past . Progressive . That's
08:42	all for this lesson . Thanks for watching . I
08:45	hope you'll join me again . Toe learn more about
08:47	verb tenses in English . Happy studies . No .
08:55	Uh huh . Yeah . Ah , wait , Roy
09:01	. Really ? Finally , we re oratory way .
09:06	Really ? Uh huh .
