Explanation (penjelasan)	Aturan penggunaan present continuous secara tata bahasa yaitu subject pronoun + to be (am, is, are) + verb 1 + ing + object/complement.  Sedangkan aturan tata bahasa untuk past continuous yaitu; subject pronoun + to be past (was, were) + verb 1 + ing + object/ complement + time signal.   *Untuk semua tenses bentuk past – semua kalimatnya membutuh time signal karena segala sesuatu yang terjadi di masa lalu membutuhkan informasi waktu kapan kejadian itu berlangsung. Namun, pada contoh di atas tidak di tambahkan time signal karena tujuannya untuk menunjukka pengunaan to be present dan past dalam kalimat continuous.
