Можно провести параллель между всеми глагольными формами группы Continuous. Их объединяют общие правила: это продолжительность действия и период, то есть, некий отрезок времени, в котором и продолжается, продолжалось и будет продолжаться действие. Это самый простейший подход к пониманию времен группы Continuous. Но при дальнейшем внимательном рассмотрении каждой глагольной формы выясняется, что каждое времен группы Continuous приобретает дополнительные черты и особенности.
Средний уровень тренировочных упражнений предполагает, что учащийся уже ориентируется в данном разделе грамматики, и может образовывать простейшие предложения.
