C: OK, guys, are you ready to practice?
"He was sneezing non-stop.
(7:31)
As you know the progressive form is mainly use for continuous actions like "He was sleeping," but it also covers short repeated actions. In English, we say "Achoo! Achoo!" Shall we try together?
(7:48)
"Achoo! Achoo!" That's right. So, with that in mind, let's say this key sentence together. "He was sneezing non-stop." Try it.
(8:01)
Get that feeling of repeated action or short repeated action. Last time... “He was sneezing non-stop.”
(8:12)
Brilliant!
(progressive form 進行形)
(continuous action 連続動作)

(What a pity. = That's too bad.)

R: So, guys, let's practice together. So, just like Onishi-sensei said, "The progressive form can be used for activities or actions." So, like "having a meeting." You can also use "having a good time," or "having some tea." So, let's practice the key sentence together now.
"I was having a meeting at that time."
(9:35)
One more time.
"I was having a meeting at that time."

Can you feel the action there? Great!
