answered-by-expert Expert Answer
The past progressive tense is used to describe an ongoing activity in the past. For example:
  • John was baking a cake.
  • They were painting the fence.
Often, the past progressive tense is used to set the scene for another action. For example:
  • John was baking a cake when the storm started.
  • They were painting the fence while I was cutting the grass.
The past progressive tense is also known as the "past continuous tense".
