Qachon ishlatiladi

• Yo'l-transport hodisasi qanday bo'lganini tushuntirganda

  O'sha payt bolalar hovlida o'ynashayotgan edi.

• Kechagi kuningiz qanday o'tganini eslaganda

Yasalishi: was/were + V-ing

Bu zamon ikki qismdan iborat: was yoki were va asosiy fe'lning -ing shakli. I, he, she, it bilan was, you, we, they bilan were ishlatiladi. Inkor uchun wasn't yoki weren't qo'yiladi. So'roqda was/were egadan oldinga chiqadi: Were you sleeping? -ing yasalishida -e tushadi (make - making), qisqa fe'lda undosh ikkilanadi (run - running).

• At six o'clock I was having dinner. — Soat oltida kechki ovqat yeyayotgan edim.
• They were playing football all afternoon. — Ular tushdan keyin butun vaqt futbol o'ynashayotgan edi.
• I wasn't sleeping when you called. — Siz qo'ng'iroq qilganingizda uxlayotgan emasdim.
• Were you waiting for me? — Meni kutayotgan edingizmi?

O'tmishdagi aniq paytda davom etgan ish

Agar o'tmishdagi bir daqiqani ko'rsatsak va o'sha paytda ish davom etayotgan bo'lsa, Past Continuous ishlatiladi. Bunday gaplarda at seven o'clock, at that moment, this time yesterday kabi iboralar uchraydi. Ish o'sha paytdan oldin boshlangan va keyin ham davom etgan bo'ladi.

• At ten o'clock last night I was studying. — Kecha kechasi soat o'nda dars qilayotgan edim.
• This time yesterday we were flying to Dubai. — Kecha shu payt Dubayga uchayotgan edik.
• What were you doing at nine in the morning? — Ertalab soat to'qqizda nima qilayotgan edingiz?
• The children were sleeping at that moment. — O'sha payt bolalar uxlayotgan edi.

when va while bilan ishlatish

Ko'pincha bitta gapda ikki ish uchraydi: uzoq davom etgani va uni bo'lgan qisqa ishi. Uzoq ish Past Continuous, qisqa ish Past Simple bilan beriladi. while odatda davomli zamon bilan, when esa Past Simple bilan keladi. Gapning tartibini o'zgartirish mumkin, faqat vergulga e'tibor bering: agar while yoki when bo'lagi boshda tursa, vergul qo'yiladi.

• She was reading when I called. — Men qo'ng'iroq qilganimda u o'qiyotgan edi.
• While I was sleeping, the phone rang. — Men uxlayotganimda telefon jiringladi.
• When he arrived, we were eating. — U kelganda biz ovqatlanayotgan edik.
• I broke my leg while I was playing football. — Futbol o'ynayotganimda oyog'imni sindirdim.

Past Simple bilan farqi

Past Simple ish tugaganini bildiradi, Past Continuous esa ish jarayonda ekanini ko'rsatadi. I read a book yesterday - kitobni o'qib tugatdim. I was reading a book - o'sha paytda o'qish davom etayotgan edi, tugagani noma'lum. Ikki ish bir vaqtda davom etsa, ikkalasi ham Past Continuous bo'ladi: I was cooking while she was cleaning.

• I watched a film yesterday evening. — Kecha kechqurun film ko'rdim (tomosha tugadi).
• I was watching a film when the lights went out. — Chiroq o'chganda film ko'rayotgan edim.
• He cooked dinner and then went to bed. — U kechki ovqat tayyorladi, keyin uxlagani ketdi.
• She was cooking while I was washing the dishes. — U ovqat tayyorlayotganda men idish yuvayotgan edim.

Holat fe'llari bilan ishlatilmaydi

Ba'zi fe'llar jarayonni emas, holatni bildiradi: know, like, love, want, need, understand, believe, have (egalik ma'nosida). Bunday fe'llar davomli zamonda ishlatilmaydi. Shuning uchun I was knowing the answer xato, to'g'risi I knew the answer. Agar have so'zi ovqatlanish yoki vaqt o'tkazish ma'nosida kelsa, davomli shakl mumkin: I was having lunch.

• I knew the answer immediately. — Javobni darhol bilardim.
• She wanted to go home early. — U erta uyga ketmoqchi edi.
• We had a car in those days. — O'sha paytlari bizda mashina bor edi.
• They were having breakfast when I arrived. — Men kelganimda ular nonushta qilayotgan edi.
