PASADO PROGRESIVO

Usamos el pasado continuo o progresivo para hablar sobre eventos que sucedieron en un periodo de tiempo.
También lo usamos cuando queremos enfatizar el proceso continuo de una actividad o del periodo de tiempo en el que se llevó a cabo dicha actividad. ( Si nosotros solo queremos hablar de eventos pasados como un simple hecho usamos el pasado simple  )
