In Greek, just like in English, the Past Continuous lets us create sentences that describe something that
happened in the past, not for a moment, but continuously.
The Sentence
"I was going to the store"
The Basic Pattern
Pronoun  verb in Past Continuous
noun, verb or Adjective. The Translation
Similar Sentences
Past Continuous with two verbs.
Did you notice in the above two examples that the second
verb is translated as subjunctive
mood of the past simple? Use the subjunctive mood of the Present Tense when
the action is continuous. Use the subjunctive mood of the Past Tense when
the action takes place once. Use the appropriate voice.
Past Continuous with an Adjective or an Adverb.
