Grammar! Hoje você aprenderá como usar o past continuous. Os tempos contínuos do Inglês passam sempre a ideia de duração da ação, o que acaba dando maior ênfase ao tempo da ação. Na L 0006 você aprendeu o present continuous e a forma para o past continuous é bem parecida, a única coisa que muda é que o verbo to be virá no passado. Veja:
I was cooking dinner last night.
She was listening to music when I arrived.
You were studying when I called you.
Michael and Paul were playing soccer while Jack was watching television.
Nos exemplos acima há três tipos diferentes de uso do past continuous:
1. Descrição de ações isoladas:
I was cooking dinner last night.
Neste caso usaremos apenas o past continuous para descrever a ação. Veja que formamos o past continuous do seguinte modo:
to be passado + verbo principal + ing
2. Ação principal interrompida por uma outra ação:
She was listening to music when I arrived.
You were studying when I called you.
Veja que nos dois exemplos temos duas ações acontecendo, mas uma interrompe a outra, ou passa a ideia de interrupção, mesmo que não afete a primeira. Neste caso, a ação principal vem no past continuous e a ação que "interrompe" vem no simple past (L 0008 - L 0009).
3. Ações que estão acontecendo ao mesmo tempo, são ações independentes e uma não interrompe a outra:
Michael and Paul were playing soccer while Jack was watching television.
Neste caso ambas ações são independentes e vem no past continuous, pois nenhuma interrompe ou passa a ideia de interrupção sobre a outra.
Para formar as formas negativa e interrogativa usa-se as mesmas regras do verbo to be no passado. Para a negativa acrescenta-se not após o verbo to be, e na interrogativa inverte-se o verbo to be com o sujeito. Veja:
I was cooking last night.
I was not (= wasn't) cooking last night.
Was I cooking last night?
You were listening to music yesterday.
You were not (= weren't) listening to music yesterday.
Were you listening to music last night?

i-Pocket Pod! Você conhece a cantora Kylie Minogue? Leia um pouco sobre a carreira dela e então faça a atividade proposta.
Kylie Ann Minogue, OBE (born 28 May 1968) is an Australian pop singer, songwriter, and actress. After beginning her career as a child actress on Australian television, she achieved recognition through her role in the television soap opera Neighbours, before commencing her career as a recording artist in 1987. Her first single, "Locomotion", spent seven weeks at number one on the Australian singles chart and became the highest selling single of the decade. This led to a contract with songwriters and producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman. Her debut album, Kylie (1988), and the single "I Should Be So Lucky", each reached number one in the United Kingdom, and over the next two years, her first 13 singles reached the British top ten. Her debut film, The Delinquents (1989) was a box-office hit in Australia and the UK despite negative reviews.
Initially presented as a "girl next door", Minogue attempted to convey a more mature style in her music and public image. Her singles were well received, but after four albums her record sales were declining, and she left Stock, Aitken & Waterman in 1992 to establish herself as an independent performer. Her next single, "Confide in Me", reached number one in Australia and was a hit in several European countries in 1994, and a duet with Nick Cave, "Where the Wild Roses Grow", brought Minogue a greater degree of artistic credibility. Drawing inspiration from a range of musical styles and artists, Minogue took creative control over the songwriting for her next album, Impossible Princess (1997). It failed to attract strong reviews or sales in the UK, but was successful in Australia.
Minogue returned to prominence in 2000 with the single "Spinning Around" and the dance-oriented album Light Years, and she performed during the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Her music videos showed a more sexually provocative and flirtatious personality and several hit singles followed. "Can't Get You Out of My Head" reached number one in more than 40 countries, and the album Fever (2001) was a hit throughout the world, including the United States, a market in which Minogue had previously received little recognition. Minogue embarked on a concert tour but cancelled it when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005. After surgery and chemotherapy treatment, she resumed her career in 2006 with Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour. Her tenth studio album X was released in 2008 and was followed by the KylieX2008 tour. In 2009, she embarked upon her For You, for Me Tour, her first concert tour of the US and Canada.
Although she was dismissed by some critics, especially during the early years of her career, she has achieved worldwide record sales of more than 68 million, and has received notable music awards, including multiple ARIA and Brit Awards and a Grammy Award. She has mounted several successful concert tours and received a Mo Award for "Australian Entertainer of the Year" for her live performances. She was awarded an OBE "for services to music", and an Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2008.
