Contoh kalimat positif Past Continuous Tense
- They were doing the exam yesterday
- We were studying English when My Father came(v2)
- I was making a delicious cake last night
- He was sleeping when i called her
- She was cooking in the kitchen this morning
ket : Untuk to be setelah subject menggunakan to be lampau yaitu was,were
sudah tertera di atas, nah, keterangan waktu tidak harus yesterday,last night,dll.
Tetapi bisa juga dengan menekankan suatu kejadian yang terjadi bersamaan
pada waktu itu juga, tetapi lampau, seperti kalimat di atas "when i called her"
kalimat itu jenis past tense otomatiiis, itu menekankan kejadian pada saat lampau.

- They were not doing the exam yesterday
