Watch the scene again
再来看一遍场景对话
pay particular attention to the term "used to"
留意used to的用法
We've spoken before about the present continuous tense
之前我们讲过现在进行时
Now we will look at how it is used in the past tense
现在我们要来看一下它的过去时用法
the past continuous describes an action that was going on
过去进行时描述了过去正在进行的
and had not yet finished in the past
并且尚未在过去完成的动作
for example, the past continuous action
例如，过去进行时
Anna was reading
安娜在读书
which was already going on before Sarah arrived
这是在萨拉到来之前就已经进行的
Anna was reading when Sarah arrived
萨拉到来时，安娜在读书
We use the past forms of "be"
我们在过去进行时中使用be的过去式
"was", "wasn't", and "were", "weren't" with the past continuous
即"was", "wasn't", and "were", "weren't"
