I. Past Continuous обозначает действие, которое совершалось в определённый момент времени в прошлом. Неважно, закончилось действие или нет, было ли оно прервано. Важно, что началось оно когда-то раньше, и в тот момент оно было в разгаре.

Момент времени может быть обозначен:

1) указанием на точку времени

Напр.: - What wereyou doing at six o’clock yesterday evening? - I was making dinner.

2) указанием на период времени

Напр.: This time last year she was havinga holiday.

3) другим, более коротким действием

Напр.: When I got up this morning the sun was shining, the birds were singing…

II. Так же, как Present Continuous в настоящем, Past Continuous может передавать раздражение, особенно в сочетании со словами alwaysи continually.

Напр.: I didn’t like him – he was always borrowing money.
