Structure: Past Continuous Tense
This topic covers the use of the Past Continuous tense to describe actions that were in progress at a specific time in the past. Aligned with CBC grammar outcomes, it helps learners express more complex time relationships. Tested in ECZ Structure, it often appears in conjunction with the Past Simple. Zambian students will practice forming sentences with 'was/were + verb-ing' to build narrative depth.
