 PAST PROGRESSIVE

Past Progressive We use the progressive past to describe a scene that happened in the past.
The structure of a simple sentence in progressive past is the following:
Personal pronoun + was / were + verb in the present participle with "ing" Example: I was
walking.
Progressive past tense is commonly used to communicate that an activity was happening
when another action occurred. Example: When I was walking home, I saw my old friend
Jonh.
A sentence that includes a part in the progressive past may also express that an activity was
happening at a certain time in the past. Example: Last day at midnight, we were watching
movies.
A sentence can, of course, include two parts in the progressive past when it is intended to
express that two activities were taking place simultaneously. Example: While I was working,
you were resting worriless.

Irregular verbs
The basic rules of formation of irregular plurals in English
Surely you already know the fundamental norm to form plurals in English, since it is the
same as in Spanish: add one to the end. The plurals that are formed are called "regular".
Some examples: house / houses, car / cars, brother / brothers ...

Now, depending on the letter in which the word ends in the singular, we can find many
exceptions, but also follow some rules. Let's see what they are:

When the singular word ends in -y, we eliminate it and replace it with -ies. Examples: family
/ families, puppy / puppies, country / countries.
If the singular word ends in -ch, -x, -s, -sh, -z or -s, we form the plural by adding -es to the
end of the word. Examples: box / boxes, class / classes, bush / bushes.
As an exception to the above, nouns that end with a single -z add -zes at the end of the word:
quiz / quizzes.
When the singular nouns end in -f or -fe, we change the efe by a uve before adding the ese.
Examples: wolf / wolves, wife / wives, dwarf / dwarves.
The words that in singular end in -o form the plural adding -es. Examples: tomato / tomatoes,
mango / mangoes, hero / heroes.
