Past Continuous
BasicActions in progress in the past — চলমান অতীত কাল
Grammar Rule
চলমান অতীত কাল — Past Continuous কখন ব্যবহার হয় (When to use): • অতীতে নির্দিষ্ট সময়ে যা চলছিল: রাত ১০টায় সে পড়ছিল। → She was studying at 10 PM. • একটি কাজ চলছিল, তখন হঠাৎ আরেকটি হলো: আমি ঘুমাচ্ছিলাম যখন ফোন বাজল। → I was sleeping when the phone rang. • একই সময়ে দুটো কাজ চলছিল: সে রান্না করছিল আর আমি পড়ছিলাম। → While she was cooking, I was reading. গঠন (Structure): Positive: Subject + was / were + V-ing Negative: Subject + was / were + not + V-ing Question: Was / Were + Subject + V-ing? was → I / He / She / It were → You / We / They 💡 মনে রাখুন — দুটো ঘটনার নিয়ম: লম্বা চলমান ঘটনা → Past Continuous (was/were + V-ing) হঠাৎ ছোট ঘটনা → Past Simple (V2) I was sleeping WHEN the alarm rang. (চলছিল ─────────────) (হঠাৎ হলো ⚡) ⚠️ সাধারণ ভুল: She was watch TV. ❌ → She was watching TV. ✅ They was playing. ❌ → They were playing. ✅
