1.2 Name the underlined and numbered tenses (or verb phrases) in the following text and comment on the meaning. 1- Past progressive. It describes a past action which was happening when another action occurred. 2- Irregular past tense. It expresses an action or situation that was started and finished in the past. 3- Past perfect progressive. It describes a past, ongoing action that was completed before some other past action. 4- Past perfect. It designates action in the past just as simple past does, but the action of the past perfect is action completed in the past before another action. (not certain about this one, sorry). 5- Present perfect, It describes an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past or that began in the past and continues in the present. 6- Present progressive. It describes an ongoing action that is happening at the same time the statement is written. 1.3.
