Past continuous common mistakes

109:31

good

109:31

um

109:32

[Music]

109:33

now as far as common mistakes go with

109:36

the past continuous

109:37

you tend to have there are certain verbs

109:40

we don't use that much in the past

109:42

continuous so these are stative verbs um

109:46

a really common one is you cannot

109:49

i think you can never say

109:51

was knowing

109:54

was over knowing yeah no

110:02

yeah

110:03

so

110:05

no is one of those verbs you don't use

110:07

in

110:08

the past continuous or really any

110:11

continuous think of it because when you

110:13

know something it's one time you

110:16

if you meet someone or you learn a fact

110:20

or some information it's not something

110:21

that's going on

110:23

you just know it or you don't

110:25

or you know the person or you don't so i

110:28

know her

110:29

i'm not knowing

110:31

yeah it's just yeah it's a

110:34

it's kind of a strange verb but yeah

110:35

there's no real clear beginning or end

110:37

to it so there's no continuous form of

110:40

it these are called state of verbs um

110:43

and i have a actually another youtube

110:45

video on this topic like we also have a

110:47

youtube video on the simple past as well

110:50

so you can check that out on our channel

110:52

um and there you can find out a little

110:54

bit more information about it yeah um i

110:57

think that like mostly wraps things up

111:00

for today is there more that you wanted

111:01

to add

111:03

i don't think so yeah okay yeah if

111:05

there's any confusion though like brian

111:06

search um lingoni english state of verbs

111:11

111:28

t so forgetting uh remember this is one

111:31

of those ep so you double the consonant

111:34

um

111:36

you would not i wouldn't use forgetting

111:39

in the continuous form i was forgetting

111:40

no

111:41

uh you know i forgot just the same yeah

111:45

like right now i'm forgetting it you

111:48

could maybe you're like i think i know

111:50

i think maybe no you just say i forget

111:53

yeah if people ever say that it's just

111:55

one of those weird little mistakes that

111:56

native speakers will sometimes make

111:59

when we're not thinking

112:01

no you can keep forgetting something but

112:04

that's a little different and yeah it's

112:06

not the same yeah

112:08

that

112:08

takes a little bit more reading and
