Berikut ini adalah rujukan kalimat past continuous tense berdasarkan fungsi/kegunaanya:

1. Kegiatan/insiden di masa lampau.

Terkadang pembicara tidak menggunakan keterangan waktu yang spesifik atau tidak menyebutkannya, namun dari bentuk verb yang digunakan kita sanggup mengetahui bahwa apa yang disampaikan sudah terjadi di masa lampau.

Contoh:

• I sang Adele’s song in front of many people in my cousin’s birthday party.

• Sherly forgot to pick up her daughter at school.

• Last time, Pio sent his regard for you.

• Yesterday, Kylie and Kim went to a beauty salon together.

• Did Ari say something when he was here?

• Our grandparents visited us last week.

• Mono didn’t take a bath this morning.

2. Kebiasaan di masa lampau.

Kalimat simple past tense juga bias dipakai untuk menceritakan tentang kebiasaan kita di masa lampau. Dengan kata lain, kita sering melakukannya dulu, namun sekarang sudah tidak kita lakukan. Biasanya kalimat tersebut menggunakan frase “used to.” Atau, untuk memperjelas bahwa yang sedang dibicarakan adalah kebiasaan di masa lampau, kita sanggup menambahkan klausa sebagai keterangan mirip “when I was a baby, when they were with us, when my sister was a teenager” dan lain-lain.

Contoh:

• I used to play guitar in the evening.

• They believed in myth when they were young.

• Did you learn Arabic when you were 4 years old?

• My father used to workout in the morning.

• Valdo used to cook porridge for breakfast.
