Basic English Grammar Course | Past Continuous | Tense Learn and Practice

Hi, everybody.

Kumusta, lahat.

I'm Esther.

Ako si Esther.

In this video.

Sa video na ito,

I will introduce the past continuous tense.

ipakikilala ko ang past continuous tense.

This tense can be used to describe an action that was ongoing in the past.

Maaaring gamitin ang panahunan na ito upang ilarawan ang isang aksyon

na nagpapatuloy sa nakaraan.

It can also be used to describe two actions happening at the same time in the past.

Maaari din itong gamitin upang ilarawan ang dalawang aksyon

na nangyayari sa parehong oras sa nakaraan.

Maraming dapat matutunan kaya magsimula na tayo.

There's a lot to learn so let's get started.

Let's take a look at the first usage of the past continuous tense.

Tingnan natin

ang unang paggamit ng past continuous tense.

This tense can be used to describe an action that was ongoing in the past.

Maaaring gamitin ang panahunan na ito upang ilarawan ang isang aksyon

na nagpapatuloy sa nakaraan.

Let's take a look at these examples.

Tingnan natin ang mga halimbawang ito.

‘I was walking in the park in the evening.’

'Naglalakad ako sa park sa gabi.'

So first we start with the subject, ‘I’.

Kaya magsisimula muna tayo sa paksang, 'Ako'.

Para ako, siya, siya, at ito, sinusundan namin ng 'was'.

For I, he, she, and it, we follow with ‘was’.

‘I was’

'Ako ay' At pagkatapos ay nagdaragdag kami ng isang 'ING' sa dulo ng pandiwa.

And then we add an ‘ING’ to the end of the verb.

‘I was walking’

'Naglalakad ako'

Now take a look at the whole sentence.

Ngayon tingnan ang buong pangungusap.

‘I was walking in the park in the evening.’

'Naglalakad ako sa park sa gabi.'

You can see that this was an ongoing action and it happened in the past.

Makikita mo na ito ay isang patuloy na pagkilos

at nangyari ito sa nakaraan.

Let's look at the next example.

Tingnan natin ang susunod na halimbawa.

‘She was living here last year.’

'Dito siya nakatira noong nakaraang taon.'

Here, the subject is ‘she’.

Dito, ang paksa ay 'siya'.

So again we use ‘was’ and then ‘verb-ing’.

Kaya muli ginagamit namin ang 'was' at pagkatapos ay 'verb-ing'.

Here we have another expression that shows that this action was happening in the past.

Narito mayroon kaming isa pang expression na nagpapakita

na ang pagkilos na ito ay nangyayari sa nakaraan.

‘The dog,’ or ‘it’, ‘was eating dinner five minutes ago.’

'Ang aso,' o 'ito', 'ay kumakain ng hapunan limang minuto ang nakalipas.'

The subject here is ‘the dog’ which can be replaced by the pronoun ‘it’.

Ang paksa dito ay 'ang aso'

na maaaring palitan ng panghalip na 'ito'.

At kaya sinusundan namin ng 'was'.

And so we follow with ‘was’.

At sa wakas, 'Andy at Jim,'

And finally, ‘Andy and Jim,’ we can replace this with ‘they’.

maaari nating palitan ito ng 'sila'.

For ‘you’, ‘we’ and ‘they’, we use ‘were’.

Para sa 'ikaw', 'kami' at 'sila', ginagamit namin ang 'ay'.

‘They were’, or ‘Andy and Jim were working at 9:00 p.m.’

'Sila', o 'Si Andy at Jim ay nagtatrabaho sa 9:00 pm'

Let's move on.

Magpatuloy tayo.

The past continuous tense is also used to describe an ongoing

Ginagamit din ang past continuous tense upang

ilarawan ang isang patuloy na aksyon sa nakaraan

action in the past that was interrupted by another action.

na naantala ng isa pang aksyon.

This interrupting action is used in the past simple tense with the word ‘when’.

Ang nakakaabala na pagkilos na ito ay ginagamit

sa nakaraang simpleng panahunan na may salitang 'kailan'.

Tingnan natin ang halimbawang ito.

Let's take a look at this example.

‘I was playing cards when you called.’

'Naglalaro ako ng baraha nang tumawag ka.'

Again we start with the subject ‘was’ or ‘were’,

Muli tayong magsisimula sa paksang 'was' o 'were',

and then ‘verb-ing’,

at pagkatapos ay 'verb-ing',

so this is the action that was ongoing in the past,

kaya ito ang aksyon na nagpapatuloy sa nakaraan,

‘I was playing cards’

'Naglalaro ako ng baraha'

Ang nakakagambalang aksyon sa pangungusap na ito ay

The interrupting action in this sentence is ‘you called’.

'tinawag ka '.

You'll notice I use the word ‘when’ to show the interrupting action’

Mapapansin mong ginagamit ko ang salitang 'kailan'

para ipakita ang nakakaabala na aksyon'

And I used it in the past simple tense, ‘called’.

At ginamit ko ito sa nakaraang simpleng panahunan, 'tinatawag'.

Let's take a look at the next sentence.

Tingnan natin ang susunod na pangungusap.

‘The cat' or 'it' was eating when Eric came home.’

'Ang pusa' o 'ito' ay kumakain nang umuwi si Eric.'

Again the action in progress is ‘the cat was eating’.

Muli, ang kasalukuyang aksyon ay 'kumakain ang pusa'.

And ‘Eric came home’, you'll notice the past simple tense.

At 'umuwi si Eric',

mapapansin mo ang past simple tense.

This is the interrupting action used with the word ‘when’.

Ito ang nakakaabala na aksyon na ginamit sa salitang 'kapag'.

‘We were sleeping when Anne arrived.’

'Natutulog kami nang dumating si Anne.'

Muli ay mayroon tayong patuloy na pagkilos sa nakaraan.

Again we have the ongoing action in the past.

Ang paksa dito ay 'tayo'.

The subject here is ‘we’.

And so we used ‘were’ and then ‘verb-ing’.

At kaya ginamit namin ang 'were' at pagkatapos ay 'verb-ing'.

‘When Anne arrived’ is the interrupting action.

'Nung dumating si Anne' ang nakakagambalang aksyon.

And finally, ‘Alicia and I’, or ‘We' were walking when we saw Mark.’

At panghuli, 'Kami ni Alicia', o

'Kami' ay naglalakad nang makita namin si Mark.'

‘When we saw Mark’ is the interrupting action that interrupted the ongoing ‘Alicia

'Noong nakita namin si Mark'

ay ang nakakagambalang aksyon

na humadlang sa patuloy na 'Naglalakad kami ni Alicia'.

and I were walking’.

Mahalaga ring tandaan

It's also important to note that we can also switch the order of the sentence around and

na maaari rin nating palitan ang pagkakasunud-sunod ng pangungusap

say,

at sabihing, 'Nang tumawag ka, naglalaro ako ng baraha,'

‘When you called, I was playing cards,’

or ‘When Eric came home, the cat was eating.’

o 'Nang umuwi si Eric, kumakain ang pusa.'

Mag-move on na tayo.

Let's move on.

Ang isa pang paggamit para sa past continuous tense

Another usage for the past continuous tense is to talk about two actions that were

ay ang pag-usapan ang tungkol sa dalawang aksyon

na nangyayari sa parehong oras sa nakaraan.

happening at the same time in the past.

We use the past continuous tense for both actions with the word ‘while’.

Ginagamit namin ang past continuous tense

para sa parehong mga aksyon na may salitang 'habang'.

Let's take a look at some examples.

Tingnan natin ang ilang halimbawa.

The first sentence says, ‘While I was playing soccer, she was watching

Ang unang pangungusap ay nagsasabing,

'Habang naglalaro ako ng soccer, pinapanood niya ako.'

me.’

Mapapansin mo na ang parehong aksyon

You'll notice that both actions are in the past continuous tense.

ay nasa past continuous tense.

‘I was playing soccer’ and ‘She was watching me’.

'Naglalaro ako ng soccer' at 'She was watching me'.

Ang salitang 'habang' sa simula

The word ‘while’ at the beginning shows that these actions were happening at the sametime.

ay nagpapakita na ang mga pagkilos na ito ay nangyayari sa parehong oras.

‘While you were reading, I was preparing dinner.’

'Habang nagbabasa ka,

naghahanda ako ng hapunan.'

Again both actions are expressed in the past continuous tense.

Muli

ang parehong mga aksyon ay ipinahayag sa nakaraang tuloy-tuloy na panahunan.

The word ‘while’ shows that they were happening at the same time.

Ang salitang 'habang'

ay nagpapakita na sila ay nangyayari sa parehong oras.

‘While Her husband’ or ‘he’, ‘was driving

'Habang ang kanyang asawa'

o 'siya', 'ay nagmamaneho ay kumukuha siya ng mga larawan.'

she was taking pictures.’

Both actions are in the past continuous tense.

Ang parehong mga aksyon ay nasa past continuous tense.

At panghuli, 'Habang kumakain kami, tumutugtog ang musika.'

And finally,

‘While we were eating, the music was playing.’

Both actions were happening at the same time.

Ang parehong mga aksyon ay nangyayari sa parehong oras.

Now, you'll notice that in my examples the word ‘while’ comes at the beginning,

Ngayon, mapapansin mo na sa aking mga halimbawa

ang salitang 'habang' ay dumating sa simula,

however, it's important to note that you can move the word ‘while’ around in several

gayunpaman, mahalagang tandaan

na maaari mong ilipat ang salitang 'habang' sa maraming paraan.

ways.

For example, instead of saying this,

Halimbawa,

sa halip na sabihin ito,

‘While I was playing soccer, she was watching me.’

'Habang naglalaro ako ng soccer,

pinapanood niya ako.'

I can move ‘while’ to the middle of the sentence.

Maaari kong ilipat 'habang' sa gitna ng pangungusap.

‘I was playing soccer while she was watching me.’

'Naglalaro ako ng soccer

habang pinapanood niya ako.'

I can put the ‘while’ between the two actions.

Maaari kong ilagay ang 'habang' sa pagitan ng dalawang aksyon.

Or I can also change the sentence around and say,

O maaari ko ring baguhin ang pangungusap sa paligid at sabihin,

‘While she was watching me, I was playing soccer.’

'Habang pinapanood niya ako,

naglalaro ako ng soccer.'

Kaya hindi mahalaga kung aling aksyon ang mauna

So it doesn't matter which action comes first with the ‘while’ if you put it in the

sa 'habang' kung ilalagay mo ito sa simula.

beginning.

Let's move on.

Mag-move on na tayo.

Now let's talk about the negative form of the past continuous tense.

Ngayon pag-usapan natin ang negatibong anyo

ng past continuous tense.

Here are some examples.

Narito ang ilang mga halimbawa.

‘She was not reading last night.’

'Hindi siya nagbabasa kagabi.'

Ang paksa ay 'siya' at kaya ginagamit namin ang 'was'.

The subject is ‘she’ and so we use ‘was’.

However, before the ‘verb-ing’, we add ‘not’.

Gayunpaman, bago ang 'verb-ing', idinagdag namin ang 'hindi'.

‘She was not reading last night.’

'Hindi siya nagbabasa kagabi.'

I can use a contraction and say,

Maaari akong gumamit ng isang contraction at sabihin,

‘She wasn't reading last night.’

'Hindi siya nagbabasa kagabi.'

‘We were not listening to music this morning.’

'Hindi kami nakikinig ng musika kaninang umaga.'

In this case, the subject is ‘we’ and so we use ‘were’.

Sa kasong ito, ang paksa ay 'kami' at kaya't ginagamit namin ang 'ay'.

Again ‘not’ comes before the ‘verb-ing’.

Muli ang 'hindi' ay nauuna sa 'verb-ing'.

‘We were not listening to music this morning.’

'Hindi kami nakikinig ng musika kaninang umaga.'

Again I can use a contraction and say,

Muli ay maaari akong gumamit ng isang contraction at sabihin,

‘We weren't listening to music this morning.’

'Hindi kami nakikinig ng musika kaninang umaga.'

And the next one says, ‘He wasn't watching TV when his dad came

At ang kasunod ay nagsasabing,

'Hindi siya nanonood ng TV nang umuwi ang kanyang ama.'

home.’

In this example, the contraction is already there for you,

Sa halimbawang ito,

nariyan na ang contraction para sa iyo,

‘He wasn't watching TV’.

'Hindi siya nanonood ng TV'.

Mapapansin mo ang salitang 'kailan'.

You'll notice the word ‘when’.

Remember ‘when’ + ‘a past simple tense verb’ shows an interrupting action,

Tandaan ang 'kapag' + 'isang past simple tense verb'

ay nagpapakita ng nakakaabala na aksyon,

so, ‘When his dad came home he wasn't watching TV.’

kaya, 'Nang umuwi ang kanyang ama

ay hindi siya nanonood ng TV.'

He was doing something else.

May iba siyang ginagawa.

And finally,

At sa wakas,

‘They weren't talking while the game was playing.’

'Hindi sila nag-uusap habang naglalaro.'

The word ‘while’ is in this sentence.

Ang salitang 'habang' ay nasa pangungusap na ito.

Remember that shows 2 past ongoing actions happening at the same time,

Tandaan na nagpapakita iyon ng 2 nakaraang patuloy na pagkilos

na nangyayari sa parehong oras,

so ‘While the game was playing they weren't talking’.

kaya 'Habang naglalaro ang laro

ay hindi sila nag-uusap'.

They were doing something else.

May iba silang ginagawa.

Let's move on now.

Let's move on

Ngayon, pag-usapan natin kung paano bumuo ng 'be' verb

Let's talk about how to form ‘be’ verb questions for the past continuous tense.

questions para sa past continuous tense.

Take a look at the first statement.

Tingnan ang unang pahayag.

It says,

Sabi nito, 'Umuulan kaninang umaga.'

‘It was raining this morning.’

Upang gawing tanong ito,

In order to turn this into a question, it's quite easy,

medyo madali,

ang kailangan lang nating gawin ay baguhin ang pagkakasunud-sunod

all we have to do is change the order of the first two words.

ng unang dalawang salita.

Instead of ‘It was’, I now say ‘Was it’ to make it a question.

Sa halip na 'Noon',

sinasabi ko na ngayon na 'Ito ba' para gawin itong tanong.

Mapapansin mo na ang natitirang mga salita

You'll notice that the rest of the words stay in the same place.

ay nananatili sa parehong lugar.

‘Was it raining this morning?’

'Umuulan ba kaninang umaga?'

You can answer by saying, ‘Yes, it was.’ or ‘No, it wasn't.’

Maaari kang sumagot sa pamamagitan ng pagsasabi ng,

'Oo, ito ay.'

o 'Hindi, hindi.'

The next statement says,

Ang susunod na pahayag ay nagsasabing,

‘They were living there when the fire happened.’

'Nakatira sila roon nang mangyari ang sunog.'

To turn this into a big question, again we just switched the order of the first two words.

Upang gawing isang malaking tanong ito,

muli naming inilipat ang pagkakasunud-sunod ng unang dalawang salita.

Instead of ‘They were’, we say ‘Were they’.

Sa halip na 'Sila noon', sinasabi namin 'Sila na'.

And again, the rest of the words can stay in the same place.

At muli,

ang natitirang mga salita ay maaaring manatili

sa parehong lugar.

‘Were they living there when the fire happened?’

'Doon ba sila nakatira noong nangyari ang sunog?'

And you can answer by saying,

At maaari mong sagutin sa pamamagitan ng pagsasabi ng,

‘Yes, they were’ or ‘No, they weren't.’

'Oo, sila ay'

o 'Hindi, sila ay hindi.'

Let's continue on.

Ipagpatuloy natin.

Now I'll go into how to make WH questions for the past continuous tense.

Ngayon ay pupunta ako sa kung paano gumawa ng mga tanong sa WH

para sa past continuous tense.

You'll notice that the examples here all begin with some WH words.

Mapapansin mo na ang mga halimbawa dito

ay nagsisimula lahat sa ilang WH na salita.

For example, ‘what’, ‘where’, ‘why’, and ‘who’.

Halimbawa, 'ano', 'saan', 'bakit', at 'sino'.

Let's take a look at the first question.

Tingnan natin ang unang tanong.

‘What were they doing last night?”

"Anong ginawa nila kagabi?" +

The subject of this sentence is ‘they’.

Ang paksa ng pangungusap na ito ay 'sila'.

So what you do is after the WH word you put the proper ‘be’ verb.

Kaya ang gagawin mo ay pagkatapos ng salitang WH

inilagay mo ang tamang pandiwa na 'maging'.

In this case, ‘were’.

Sa kasong ito, 'ay'.

‘What were they doing last night?’

'Anong ginagawa nila kagabi?'

Mapapansin mo na pagkatapos ng paksa ay dumating ang 'verb-ing'.

You'll notice that after the subject comes the ‘verb-ing’.

‘What were they doing last night?’

'Anong ginagawa nila kagabi?'

I can answer by saying, ‘They were playing games’ or

Maaari akong sumagot sa pamamagitan ng pagsasabing,

'Naglalaro sila'

‘They were reading a book’.

o 'Nagbabasa sila ng libro'.

The next question says,

Ang susunod na tanong ay nagsasabing,

‘Where was he working last week?’

'Saan siya nagtatrabaho noong nakaraang linggo?'

In this case the subject is ‘he’ and so the be verb to use is ‘was’.

Sa kasong ito ang paksa ay 'siya'

at kaya ang pandiwang gagamitin ay 'was'.

‘Where was he working last week?’

'Saan siya nagtatrabaho noong nakaraang linggo?'

I can say, ‘He was working in Canada.’

Masasabi kong,

'Nagtatrabaho siya sa Canada.'

‘Why was she crying when she finished the book?’

'Bakit siya umiiyak nang matapos niya ang libro?'

In this case, the subject is ‘she’ and so I put ‘was’ after ‘why’.

Sa kasong ito,

ang paksa ay 'siya' at kaya't inilagay ko ang 'was' pagkatapos ng 'bakit'.

‘Why was she crying when she finished the book?’

'Bakit siya umiiyak nang matapos niya ang libro?'

I can say, ‘She was crying because the ending was sad.’

Masasabi ko,

'Naiiyak siya kasi ang lungkot ng ending.'

And finally,

At panghuli,

‘Who were the children staying with while their mom was working?’

'Sino ang tinutuluyan ng mga bata

habang nagtatrabaho ang kanilang ina?'

In this case, ‘the children’ is a ‘they’

Sa kasong ito,

ang 'mga bata' ay isang 'sila'

so we follow 'who' with ‘were’.

kaya't sinusunod namin ang 'sino' ng 'nari'.

‘Who were they’ or

'Sino sila'

‘Who were the children staying with while their mom was working?’

o 'Sino ang tinutuluyan ng mga bata

habang nagtatrabaho ang kanilang ina?'

Para sagutin, masasabi kong,

To answer, I can say, ‘The children’ or

'Ang mga bata' o 'Nakatira sila sa kanilang ama.'

‘They were staying with their dad.’

Let's move on.

Mag-move on na tayo.

In this section, let's do a checkup for the past continuous tense.

Sa seksyong ito,

gawin natin ang isang pagsusuri para sa past continuous tense.

Tingnan ang unang pangungusap.

Take a look at the first sentence.

‘Last night they were blank at school.’

'Kagabi blangko sila sa school.'

I want you to try to fill in the blank with the negative for the verb ‘stay’.

Gusto kong subukan mong punan ang patlang

ng negatibo para sa pandiwa na 'manatili'.

‘not stay’

'not stay'

What do you think it is?

Ano sa tingin mo ito?

Remember, for the negative of the past continuous,

Tandaan, para sa negatibo ng nakaraang tuloy-tuloy,

all you have to do is put ‘not’ and then ‘verb-ing’ after the 'be' verb.

ang kailangan mo lang gawin ay ilagay ang 'not'

at pagkatapos ay 'verb-ing' pagkatapos ng 'be' verb.

‘They were not staying at school last.’

'Hindi sila tumutuloy sa paaralan

‘Last night, they were not staying at school.’

'Kagabi, hindi sila tumutuloy sa paaralan.'

The next sentence says,

Ang susunod na pangungusap ay nagsasabing,

‘Two days ago you blank soccer.’

'Dalawang araw ang nakalipas, blangko ka sa soccer.'

Subukan muli ang negatibo para sa pandiwa na 'play'.

Again try the negative for the verb ‘play’.

‘Two days ago blank not play soccer.’

'Dalawang araw ang nakalipas blangko hindi naglalaro ng soccer.'

In this case, the first thing that's missing is the ‘be’ verb.

Sa kasong ito,

ang unang bagay na nawawala ay ang 'be' verb.

If the subject is ‘you’, can you think of which be verb needs to be put in there?

Kung ang paksa ay 'ikaw',

maiisip mo ba kung aling pandiwa ang kailangang ilagay doon?

The correct answer is ‘were’.

Ang tamang sagot ay 'ay'.

At pagkatapos, sasabihin namin 'hindi'.

And then, we say ‘not’.

What happens after that?

Ano ang mangyayari pagkatapos nito?

Remember, ‘verb-ing’.

Tandaan, 'verb-ing'.

So ‘you were not playing’

Kaya 'hindi ka naglalaro'

‘two days ago, you were not playing soccer’

'dalawang araw na ang nakalipas,

hindi ka naglalaro ng soccer'

You can also use a contraction and say,

Maaari ka ring gumamit ng contraction at sabihing,

'Hindi ka naglalaro ng soccer.'

‘You weren't playing soccer.’

Now try to find the mistake in the next sentence.

Ngayon subukang hanapin ang pagkakamali sa susunod na pangungusap.

‘Yesterday, she were reading at home.’

'Kahapon, nagbabasa siya sa bahay.'

hmmm

hmmm

The subject of this sentence is ‘she’ so the ‘be’ verb to use is not ‘were’.

Ang paksa ng pangungusap na ito ay 'siya'

kaya ang pandiwang 'maging' na gagamitin ay hindi 'were'. Ito ay 'noon'.

It's 'was'.

‘Yesterday, she was reading at home.’

'Kahapon, nagbabasa siya sa bahay.'

Sa susunod na pangungusap ay sinasabi nito,

In the next sentence it says, ‘Tomorrow, they were seeing their friends.’

'Bukas, nakita nila ang kanilang mga kaibigan.'

hmmm

hmmm

‘They’ and ‘were’

'Sila' at 'ay' Tama.

That's correct.

And we have the ‘verb-ing’

At mayroon tayong 'verb-ing'

So what's the mistake?

Kaya ano ang pagkakamali?

Tandaan na ang past continuous ay para sa nakaraan.

Remember the past continuous is for the past.

‘Tomorrow’ is not the past.

Ang 'Bukas' ay hindi nakaraan.

So instead, we need to put a word that shows the past.

Kaya sa halip,

kailangan nating maglagay ng salita na nagpapakita ng nakaraan.

For example, I can say, ‘yesterday’.

Halimbawa,

masasabi kong, 'kahapon'.

‘Yesterday, they were seeing their friends.’

'Kahapon, nagkikita sila ng mga kaibigan nila.'

Mag-move on na tayo.

Let's move on.

Now, let's start a checkup of the ‘when’ usage

Ngayon, simulan natin ang pagsusuri ng 'kailan' paggamit

of the past continuous tense.

ng past continuous tense.

Take a look at the first example.

Tingnan ang unang halimbawa.

It says, ‘Andrea and John’ blank when they bank hurt.’

Nakalagay,

'Andrea at John' blangko kapag nasaktan sila sa bangko.'

Tandaan

Remember ‘when’ shows an interrupting action.

ang 'kailan' ay nagpapakita ng nakakaabala na pagkilos.

It needs to be used with the past simple tense.

Kailangan itong gamitin sa past simple tense.

So let's first look at the second blank.

Kaya tingnan muna natin ang pangalawang blangko.

‘When they blank hurt’

'When they blank hurt'

What's the past tense of the verb ‘get’?

Ano ang past tense ng verb na 'get'?

The answer is ‘got’.

Ang sagot ay 'nakuha'.

Ngayon tingnan natin ang aksyon

Now let's take a look at the action that was in progress in the past.

na kasalukuyang isinasagawa sa nakaraan.

‘Andrea and John’ or ‘they’

'Andrea at John'

o 'sila'

Well what comes after ‘they’?

Well what comes after 'sila'?

‘were’.

'ay'.

‘Andrea and John were’

'Andrea and John were'

Pagkatapos ay tandaan na kailangan nating magdagdag ng -ing sa pandiwa.

Then remember we need to add -ing to the verb.

‘They were skiing’ or ‘Andrea and John were skiing when they got hurt’.

'Nag-i-ski sila'

o 'Nag-i-ski sina Andrea at John nang masaktan sila'.

The next example says, ‘It blank not raining when the game blank’.

Ang susunod na halimbawa ay nagsasabing,

'Blanko hindi umuulan kapag blangko ang laro'.

And I want you to use the verb ‘start’ for the second blank.

At gusto kong gamitin mo ang pandiwa na 'simula'

para sa pangalawang blangko.

Tingnan kung

Take a look ‘when the game blank’ what's the past tense of ‘start’?

'kapag blangko ang laro'

ano ang past tense ng 'start'?

‘started’

'nagsimula'

Now let's look at the first part of the sentence.

Ngayon tingnan natin ang unang bahagi ng pangungusap.

The subject is ‘it’.

Ang paksa ay 'ito'.

So what ‘be’ verb do we use for 'it'?

Kaya anong 'be' verb ang ginagamit natin para sa 'it'?

‘was’

'ay'

‘It was not raining when the game started.’

'Hindi umuulan nang magsimula ang laro.'

Now find the mistake in the next sentence.

Ngayon hanapin ang pagkakamali sa susunod na pangungusap.

‘I wasn't study at the library yesterday’.

'Hindi ako nag-aaral sa library kahapon'.

The subject here is ‘I’ and so the ‘be’ verb ‘was’ is correct.

Ang paksa dito ay 'I' at kaya ang 'be' verb 'was' ay tama.

Here there's a contraction, ‘I wasn't’ for ‘I was not’.

Dito may contraction, 'I wasn't'

para 'I was not'.

Now the problem is with the verb.

Ngayon ang problema ay sa pandiwa.

Remember we need to put ‘–ing’ at the end of the verb.

Tandaan na kailangan nating ilagay ang '–ing'

sa dulo ng pandiwa.

‘I wasn't studying at the library yesterday.’

'Hindi ako nag-aaral sa library kahapon.'

And finally, ‘We did meet our friends last weekend.’

At sa wakas,

'Nakilala namin ang aming mga kaibigan noong nakaraang katapusan ng linggo.'

That sounds right, but remember we're doing the past continuous tense.

Tama iyon,

ngunit tandaan na ginagawa natin ang past continuous tense.

Take a look again.

Tingnan mo ulit.

The subject is ‘we’.

Ang paksa ay 'tayo'.

We need a ‘be’ verb.

Kailangan natin ng 'be' verb.

'Were'

‘were’

Then what happens?

Tapos anong nangyari?

Remember, we need to add an ‘-ing’ to the end of the verb,

Tandaan, kailangan nating magdagdag ng '-ing'

sa dulo ng pandiwa,

so we take out ‘did’ and say, ‘We were meeting our friends last weekend.’

kaya't kinuha natin ang 'ginawa' at sasabihing,

'Nagkita kami ng aming mga kaibigan noong nakaraang katapusan ng linggo.'

Let's move on.

Mag-move on na tayo.

Now, for this checkup, we'll look at the ‘while’ usage of the past continuous tense.

Ngayon, para sa pagsusuring ito,

titingnan natin ang 'habang' paggamit

ng past continuous tense.

Tingnan ang unang halimbawa.

Take a look at the first example.

‘While I blank someone blank my bike.’

'Habang blangko ko ang isang tao na blangko ang aking bike.'

When we use ‘while’ in the past continuous tense,

Kapag ginamit namin ang 'habang' sa nakaraang tuloy-tuloy na panahunan,

we're showing that two actions happened at the same time in the past

ipinapakita namin na dalawang aksyon ang nangyari

sa parehong oras sa nakaraan

or they were happening at the same time in the past.

o ang mga ito ay nangyayari sa parehong oras sa nakaraan.

So we need to use the past continuous for both actions.

Kaya kailangan nating gamitin ang nakaraang tuloy-tuloy para sa parehong mga aksyon.

‘While I blank’

'Habang blangko ako' gusto kong gamitin mo ang 'shop'

I want you to use ‘shop’ in the first blank.

sa unang blangko.

Remember, the subject here is ‘I’ so I need to use the ‘be’ verb ‘was’.

Tandaan, ang paksa dito ay 'I'

kaya kailangan kong gamitin ang 'be' verb 'was'.

Pagkatapos ay 'verb-ing'.

Then ‘verb-ing’.

‘While I was shopping’

'Habang ako ay namimili'

Now ‘someone’ can be a ‘he’ or ‘she’.

Ngayon ang 'isang tao' ay maaaring maging isang 'siya' o 'siya'.

Therefore, again we need to use ‘was’

Samakatuwid, muli kailangan nating gumamit ng 'was'

and then the ‘verb-ing’ of ‘steal’.

at pagkatapos ay ang 'verb-ing' ng 'steal'.

‘While I was shopping, someone was stealing my bike.’

'Habang namimili ako,

may nagnanakaw ng bike ko.'

The next sentence says,

Ang susunod na pangungusap ay nagsasabing,

‘While he blank’

'Habang siya ay blangko'

I want you to use the verb ‘cook’.

Gusto kong gamitin mo ang pandiwa na 'magluto'.

The subject is ‘he’ and so I need to use ‘was cooking’.

Ang paksa ay 'siya' at kaya kailangan kong gumamit ng 'nagluluto'.

‘While he was cooking, his girlfriend was cleaning.’

'Habang nagluluto siya, naglilinis ang girlfriend niya.'

Did you get that?

nakuha mo ba yun?

Let's move on.

Mag-move on na tayo.

Subukang hanapin ang pagkakamali sa susunod na pangungusap.

Try to find the mistake in the next sentence.

‘Jane was looking for us while we get off the plane.’

'Hinahanap tayo ni Jane habang pababa tayo ng eroplano.'

The first part of the sentence is correct.

Ang unang bahagi ng pangungusap ay tama.

‘Jane was looking’

'Naghahanap si Jane'

Now the second part of the sentence.

Ngayon ang pangalawang bahagi ng pangungusap.

Notice it's not in the past continuous tense.

Pansinin na wala ito sa past continuous tense.

‘While we get off the plane’

'Habang bumababa tayo sa eroplano'

So what we need to do is say, ‘were getting’.

Kaya ang kailangan nating gawin ay sabihin, 'nakakakuha'.

‘Jane was looking for us while we were getting off the plane.’

'Hinahanap tayo ni Jane habang pababa tayo ng eroplano.'

The next sentence says, 'I was watching TV while my wife sleep’

Ang susunod na pangungusap ay nagsasabing,

'Nanunuod ako ng TV habang natutulog ang aking asawa'

Again this part of the sentence did not use the past continuous tense.

Muli itong bahagi ng pangungusap

ay hindi gumamit ng past continuous tense.

Ang aking asawa ay isang 'siya' at kaya kailangan kong sabihin na 'natutulog'.

My wife is a ‘she’ and so I need to say ‘was sleeping’.

‘I was watching TV while my wife was sleeping.’

'Nanonood ako ng TV habang natutulog ang asawa ko.'

Great job, everyone.

Mahusay na trabaho, lahat. Mag-move on na tayo.

Let's move on.

Good job, everybody in learning the past continuous tense.

Good job everyone in learning the past continuous tense.

This tense can be a little difficult and a little tricky.

Ang panahunan na ito ay maaaring medyo mahirap at medyo nakakalito.

Especially when it comes to the ‘when’ and ‘while’ usage.

Lalo na pagdating sa 'kailan' at 'habang' paggamit.

It'll take some practice to really master it, but I know you can do it.

Kakailanganin ng ilang pagsasanay upang talagang mabisa ito,

ngunit alam kong magagawa mo ito.
