Unit 6 – The Past Tenses
Even though I enjoyed unit six, I found it a little confusing. The usages for the past continuous and the past perfect continuous are written in a way it is not easy to understand the difference, in my opinion. The form(s) of the two tenses are well defined and easy to understand. Therefore the sentence structure makes the forms easy to identify by the use of ‘was/were’ for the past continuous and ‘have + been’ for the past perfect continuous.
I would like to add that I was surprised the writers or publishers of unit six. Chose to wait until the second grammar or tenses unit to mention... “All continuous forms feature some form of the verb ‘to be’ plus -ing. All perfect forms feature some form of the verb ‘to have’ and the past participle of the verb. All perfect continuous forms feature some form of the verb ‘to have’, plus ‘been’, plus the ‘ing’ form of the verb.” Don’t you think that information would have been relative or helpful with explaining the present tense as well?
