Ví dụ:

- They were playing badminton when I came yesterday.
2. Phủ định:
S + wasn’t/ weren’t + V-ing
Câu phủ định tả chỉ cần thêm “not” ngay sau “to be”.
- was not = wasn’t
- were not = weren’t
Ví dụ: - He wasn’t working when his boss came yesterday.
- We weren’t watching TV at 9 p.m yesterday.
3. Câu hỏi:
Was/ Were + S + V-ing ?
                        Trả lời: Yes, I/ he/ she/ it + was. – No, I/ he/ she/ it + wasn’t.
                                    Yes, we/ you/ they + were. – No, we/ you/ they + weren’t.
Câu hỏi ta chỉ cần đảo “to be” lên trước chủ ngữ.
Ví dụ: - Was your mother going to the market at 7 a.m yesterday?
             Yes, she was./ No, she wasn’t.
- Were they staying with you when I called you yesterday?

CÁC CHÚ Ý KHI THÊM ĐUÔI “-ING”.
Thông thường ta chỉ cần cộng thêm “-ing” vào sau động từ. Nhưng có một số chú ý
như sau:
1. Với động từ tận cùng là MỘT chữ “e”:
- Ta bỏ “e” rồi thêm “-ing”.
Ví dụ:      write – writing      type – typing     come – coming
- Tận cùng là HAI chữ “e” ta không bỏ “e” mà vẫn thêm “-ing” bình thường.
Ví du: agree – agreeing          see – seeing
2. Với động từ có MỘT âm tiết, tận cùng là MỘT PHỤ ÂM, trước là MỘT

3
 NGUYÊN ÂM
- Ta nhân đôi phụ âm cuối rồi thêm “-ing”.
Ví dụ:     stop – stopping   get – getting      put – putting
