The Past Tenses - Past Continuous - Structure and Usages
This video is part of our series on the past tenses in English. In this video, we take a look at the past continuous tense and how it is formed and used. This tense is used to indicate that a certain action was in progress at a particular time in the past.
Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.
This unit gives a concise explanation of the various present tense forms and how they are formed and used properly in a sentence. It goes further to highlight some common mistakes English learners are likely to make when using these tenses. This helps to prepare the teacher for such eventualities, especially in the area of adequately correcting the student. I believe this is very important for the teacher because, in order for the students to speak and write English properly, they must master the proper usage of present tenses.
