The Past Continuous Tense (Прошедшее длительное время).
Спряжение глагола to write (писать) в Past Continuous:
Образование Past Continuous.
Формы Past Continuous образуются с помощью вспомогательного глагола to be в форме Past Indefinite (was в ед. ч. и were во мн. ч.) и причастия I смыслового глагола (см. таблицу выше).
Сокращенные отрицательные формы Past Continuous образуются по общему правилу:
I wasn't writing
We weren't writing
Употребление и перевод Past Continuous.
Past Continuous употребляется:
1. Для выражения развертывающегося действия, происходившего в какой-то данный момент в прошлом. Этот момент в прошлом может быть обозначен:
а) Точным указанием момента времени, например: at that moment (в тот момент), at that time (в то время), at 5 o'clock yesterday (вчера в 5 часов) и т. п.:
At that time our troops were crossing the bridge.
В это время наши войска переходили мост.
б) Другим однократным действием, выраженным глаголом в Past Indefinite:
The crowd was pouring out into the streets when the horse police appeared.
Толпа растекалась по улицам, когда появилась конная полиция.
When I went out the fog was rising in little clouds to the sky above.
Когда я вышел, туман клубами поднимался к небу.
Примечание:
Past Continuous может употребляться как в главном, так и в придаточном предложении:
I came in when he was reading.
Я вошел, когда он читал.
When I came in, he was reading.
Когда я вошел, он читал.
2. При одновременности двух действий, происходивших в прошлом, оба глагола, выражающие эти действия, могут быть употреблены в Past Continuous или в Past Indefinite. При употреблении Past Continuous подчеркивается процесс протекания действия, при употреблении Past Indefinite констатируется факт совершения действия:
An enormous hound was passing at the end of the alley while we were standing at the door of the house.
Огромная собака проходила в конце аллеи, в то время как мы стояли у дверей дома.
His family stayed in New York while Erik took his examinations at Columbia.
Семья Эрика жила в Нью-Йорке, пока он сдавал экзамены в Колумбийский университет.
3. Для эмоционального подчеркивания длительности действия с такими обозначениями времени, как all day (long) (весь день), all the time (все время), the whole morning (все утро), from 5 till 7 (с 5 часов до 7), during (for) . years (months) (в течение . лет (месяцев)) и т. д.:
It was raining all day yesterday and we had to stay indoors.
Вчера весь день шел дождь, и нам пришлось остаться дома.
They were working at the laboratory from 10 till 12.
Они работали в лаборатории с 10 до 12.
Примечание:
С этими же обозначениями времени употребляется глагол в Past Indefinite, если не подчеркивается длительность действия, а просто констатируется факт его совершения:
They worked at the laboratory from 10 till 12.
Они работали в лаборатории с 10 до 12.
Past Continuous переводится на русский язык обычно глаголом несовершенного вида в прошедшем времени:
This copper became separated from the solution while the current was passing through it.
Эта медь выделилась из раствора, когда через него проходил ток.

"No way," says the blonde. "I almost got caught."
