We use the Past Progressive: • for actions that were happening at a specific point of time in the past. I was sleeping a t 11 o ’clock yesterda y evening.
• to describe background scenes to a story.
It was snowing and the town was white and peaceful.
• for actions that were happening at the same time in the past. In this case we usually use
while.
While I was playing the violin, my sister was listening to rap music. • for an action that was happening in the past and was interrupted by another action. We use the Past Progressive for the longer action and the Past Simple for the shorter action. We usually use as, while and when. We were entering the house when the phone rang.
NOTE: Stative verbs

A large pa rt of th e Earth’s su rfac e is covered with ice. All this ice is found mostly in the po lar areas, in the form of slaciers and icebergs. Glaciers are large bodies of ice which are formed by snow on mountains and move very slowly towards the sea. Icebergs are formed when pieces of ice break off glaciers and start floating in the sea.
• They are made up completely of
fresh water.
• Some icebergs floating in the sea today were formed more than 15,000 years ago. • Around 90% of an iceberg is underwater. • In the past, many accidents were caused by icebergs. • The Titanic hit an iceberg and sank on 14 April, 1912.

1. You can see only 10% of them. 2. These are formed on land. 3. Ships used to have many accidents because of them.
Grammar Passive Voice • The A ctiv e Vo ic e shows that the subject of the verb does an action. People send lots of demo tapes to music producers.
