	Mister Micawber  +  47293 Sat, 25 Sep 04 04:09 PM I am not being facetious, but use 'past continuous' for continuing actions (i.e. actions over time) in the past-- something was in progress sometime in the past: 'What did you do Sunday?'-- 'I was studying astrophysics all day.' 'My sister was washing the boa constrictor when her counselor arrived.' I hope this helps, as a beginning.
