Watch the scene again
再來看一遍場景對話
pay particular attention to the term "used to"

We've spoken before about the present continuous tense
之前我們講過現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時
Now we will look at how it is used in the past tense

the past continuous describes an action that was going on
過去進(jìn)行時描述了過去正在進(jìn)行的
and had not yet finished in the past
并且尚未在過去完成的動作

薩拉到來時，安娜在讀書
We use the past forms of "be"
我們在過去進(jìn)行時中使用be的過去式
"was", "wasn't", and "were", "weren't" with the past continuous
即"was", "wasn't", and "were", "weren't"
