How do we make the Past Continuous Tense?

The structure of the past continuous tense is:
subject+auxiliary verb BE+main verb

conjugated in simple past tense
present participle
was

base + ing
For negative sentences in the past continuous tense, we insert not between the auxiliary verb and main verb. For question sentences, we exchange the subject and auxiliary verb. Look at these example sentences with the past continuous tense:
