 2.) His father was driving him to the hospital.

Verbs in the progressive tenses may be differentiated according to form and use. They may
express continuing actions or conditions in the past, present, and future. Auxiliary or helping
verbs allow us to use verbs in any progressive tense.

All the students are making sandwiches.

[Auxiliary verb are + ing form of the main make]

His father was driving him to the hospital.

[Auxiliary verb was + ing form of the main drive]

Every kid at the school will be laughing at me.

[Auxiliary verb will be + ing form of the main laugh]
