Past Continuous Tense MDCAT Quiz; The Past Continuous Tense describes an action or situation that was in progress at a particular point in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “was” or “were” followed by the present participle (the “-ing” form) of the main verb. For example, in the sentence “She was studying for the MDCAT exam,” the action “studying” was in progress in the past. The Past Continuous Tense is often used to describe actions that were in progress at the same time as another action or to stress the duration of an action in the past.
The Past Continuous Tense is one of the crucial tenses to understand for the MDCAT exam, as it helps you describe exactly the actions or situations in both writing and speaking. This tense is especially helpful in describing an event in a narrative or answering questions about past activities.
