                                           Past Continuous (Progressive)

The past continuous tense normally links an action in the past with another past action. The first past action continues through the second past action.


Jack was eating when I arrived.
(Jack started to eat before I arrived.
He continued eating after I arrived.
Both actions are in the past.)



 Past continuous can also be used by itself to indicate that something was occurring at a specific time in the past.
  • The moon was shining brightly last night.
  • The girls were laughing at his joke yesterday in class.

                                                Past Perfect

The past perfect tense links an action which was started and finished before another past action occurred.

Jack had eaten by the time I arrived.
(Jack started and finished eating by
the time I arrived. Both actions are
in the past.)



The past perfect tense is normally used with words such as before, when, after, since, by the time, etc.
  • The students had studied before they took the test.
  • Before they took the test, the students had studied.
  • I had finished mowing when the storm came.
