Sentence transformation

December 18th, 2015 in English Learning

In the future continuous tense, we make sentences by putting will be before the -ing form of the verb. In the past continuous tense, we make sentences by putting was or were before the -ing form of the verb.

Sentences are given in the future continuous tense. Change them into the past continuous tense. You will have to make appropriate changes to the time expressions as well.
