Tenses Questions Medium
We use the past continuous tense in conditional sentences to talk about an ongoing action or situation in the past that was conditional on another event or circumstance. This tense is used to express a hypothetical or unreal condition in the past.
For example:
"If I was studying for my exam last night, I would have been feeling stressed."
In this sentence, the past continuous tense "was studying" is used to describe the ongoing action of studying for the exam, which is conditional on the hypothetical situation of feeling stressed.
