Question

The past progressive is most useful when ___________.

when an action happened in the past
when an action was uninterrupted in the past
when an uninterrupted action happens
when an action gets increasingly common

Answer 1

I would think the right answer would be B.

Answer 2

When an action gets increasingly common.

Step-by-step explanation:

The past progressive verb form illustrates an action that was in continuity or progress in the past. It displays the several actions like actions of the past that were interrupted, the two actions happened simultaneously, an action taking place when another happened but it would best describe the action when it gets increasingly common. For example, "He was drafting a letter when I reached there" or 'They were cooking dinner and I was watching T.V. effortlessly'. These two statements best illustrate the increasingly ongoing actions of the past that are "writing", "cooking", "watching" which were in progression at that time.
