The past progressive is sometimes called the past continuous. This verb tense is used to describe actions happening at a certain time in the past.
This verb tense is formed using the past tense of to be + the verb's present participle.
Example: I was studying when you called me.
In that sentence, the past progressive verb is "was studying". "Was" is the past tense of the verb to be, and "studying" is the present participle of the verb "to study".
