While most of the verbs (action words) can be used to form Past Continuous Tense in English language, Stative verbs cannot change their forms to form Past Continuous Tense sentences. Also known as state-of-being verbs, these verbs cannot be used in any continuous tense, including the past continuous. This is because Stative verbs describe feelings that can't be directly observed or measured in terms of progress. Many stative verbs describe states of mind, such as opinions, needs, and awareness.

·       Incorrect: "I was knowing him."

·       Correct: "I knew him."

·       She was reading a book.

·       They were playing cricket.
