• Be careful of irregular past tense verbs, however. These don’t follow the
normal rules and use their own unique forms for the past tense. For example,
the past tense of the irregular verb go is went.

hand.
S
• [had] + [[was/were] + [present participle]
EXAMPLES:
01 • My dog was whimpering in his sleep when the TV

individual actions or habitual actions in the present.
