I. Tóm tắt lý thuyết về thì quá khứ tiếp diễn
Trước khi bạn làm bài tập thì quá khứ tiếp diễn, cùng Langmaster điểm lại một số lý thuyết về thì này nhé. Hãy chú ý đọc qua một lượt để tự tin làm bài tập nhé!
1. Công thức
Thì quá khứ tiếp diễn (Past Continuous) là thì được dùng để diễn tả lại một hành động, sự việc đã diễn ra tại một thời điểm xác định trong quá khứ. Để tìm hiểu về các công thức, cùng đến ngay với lý thuyết dưới đây.
1.1. Câu khẳng định
Cấu trúc: S + was/ were + V-ing
Lưu ý:
- Đại từ nhân xưng số ít (I, she, he, it) đi cùng was.
- Đại từ nhân xưng số nhiều (We, you, they) đi cùng were.
Ví dụ:
- I was reading a book at 9 pm last night in bed.
(Tôi đang đọc cuốn sách vào lúc 9 giờ tối ở trong phòng ngủ)
- They were working in Ha Noi in 1998.
(Họ đang làm việc tại Hà Nội trong năm 1998)

(Chúng tôi đang học tiếng Anh vào lúc 7 giờ sáng hôm qua trong lớp học)
1.2. Câu phủ định
Cấu trúc: S + wasn’t/ weren’t + V-ing
Ví dụ:
- They weren’t working at this company, and I wasn’t working either.
(Họ đang không làm việc tại công ty đó, và tôi cũng đang không làm việc)
- I wasn’t playing football at 9 am last Sunday.
(Tôi đang không chơi bóng đá vào 9 giờ sáng chủ nhật tuần trước)
- When my mom came home, I wasn’t doing my homework yesterday.
(Hôm qua tôi không làm bài tập khi mẹ tôi về đến nhà)
Công thức thì quá khứ tiếp diễn
1.3. Câu nghi vấn
1.3.1. Dạng câu hỏi Yes/No question:
Cấu trúc: Was / Were + S + V-ing?

- Was she working at 8 a.m yesterday?
(Hôm qua lúc 8h sáng cô ấy có đang làm việc không?)
- Was she playing badminton at that time?
(Cô ấy đang chơi cầu lông tại thời điểm ấy đúng không?)
- Were they working at 7 pm at night?
(Họ đang làm việc lúc 7 giờ tối qua đúng không?)
1.3.2. Dạng câu hỏi Wh-question:

Ví dụ:
- What was she talking about?
(Cô ta đang nói về điều gì vậy?)
- Where was he learning at 10 pm yesterday?
(10 giờ tối qua anh ta đang học ở đâu vậy?)
