Question

Which of the following sentences is not in the past continuous tense?

  1. “I was always trying to find the best opportunities.”
  2. “They left without saying goodbye.”
  3. “Weren’t we looking for something just like this?”
  4. “I was certainly trying to find a solution”

hintHint:

The past continuous tense is employed in a sentence to represent an action or event that was going on in the past.

The correct answer is: “They left without saying goodbye.”


    Past continuous tense can be formed in the following way: Subject+ be form (was/were) + ing form of verb. 'They left without saying goodbye'. In this sentence subject is (they) but there is no be form and ing form of verb. So, it is not an example of past continuous tense.
