Unit6 Past continuous (I was doing)

12

B

Study this example situation:

I was doing something = I was in the middle of doing something at a certain time. The action orsituation had already started before this time, but had not finished:

C Compare the past continuous (I was doing) and past simple (I did):

D We often use the past simple and the past continuous together to say that something happenedin the middle of something else:Matt phoned while we were having dinner.It was raining when I got up.I saw you in the park yesterday. You were sitting on the grass and reading a book.I hurt my back while I was working in the garden.

But we use the past simple to say that one thing happened after another:I was walking along the road when I saw Dave. So I stopped, and we had a chat.Compare:

E Some verbs (for example, know and want) are not normally used in the continuous (see Unit 4A):We were good friends. We knew each other well. (not We were knowing)I was enjoying the party, but Chris wanted to go home. (not was wanting)

Yesterday Karen and Jim played tennis. They began at10 o’clock and finished at 11.30.So, at 10.30 they were playing tennis.They were playing = they were in the middle ofplaying. They had not finished playing.Was/were -ing is the past continuous:

I/he/she/it was playing

we/you/they were doingworking etc.

This time last year I was living in Brazil.What were you doing at 10 o’clock last night?I waved to Helen, but she wasn’t looking.

Past continuous (in the middle of an action)I was walking home when I met Dave.(in the middle of an action)Kate was watching television when we arrived.

Past simple (complete action)I walked home after the party last night.(= all the way, completely)Kate watched television a lot when shewas ill last year.

When Karen arrived, we were havingdinner. (= we had already started before she arrived)

When Karen arrived, we had dinner. (= Karen arrived, and then we haddinner)

Look who’s talking!54 Introducing tones

Note: The choice of tone (voice going up or down) has meaning. We will look at the meaning in Units 55 to 60.

Note: The meanings of the idiomatic expressions in this unit are explained in the Answer Key on page 186.

116 English Pronunciation in Use

Some idiomatic expressions have a fixed melody, or tone, in English. For example, in Look who’s talking,the voice goes down at the end. The syllable talk– is higher than the syllable –ing. In You’ll be lucky, thevoice goes up at the end. The syllable luck– is lower than the syllable –y. Listen.

But normally we can choose to make our voice go up or down at the end. For example, in theconversation below, Sid says ‘bear’ with his voice going down. Joe repeats the word with his voice goingup. Listen and notice the way their voices go up or down at the end.

SID: Shh!JOE: What?SID: Bear!JOE: Bear?SID: Bear!JOE: Where?SID: There!JOE: Far?SID: No!JOE: Near?SID: Yeah!JOE: Run?SID: Run!

Listen again and say Joe’s lines.

The responses to the pairs of sentences a and b below are the same, but the speaker uses a differenttone. For example, in the response to Example a, the voice goes down, but in the response to Example b,the voice goes up. Listen and draw a line in the box to show if the voice goes up or down.EXAMPLE

a Let’s go away for the weekend. – Where?b Let’s go to Llantisiliogogogoch. – Where?

1 a I know who stole your glasses. – Who?b It was Mickey Mumpkin. – Who?

2 a I’ve got some bad news for you. – What?b I’m afraid your house has burnt down. – What!
