I called upon my friend Sherlock Holmes upon the second morning after Christmas, with the intention of wishing him the compliments of the season. He was lounging upon the sofa in a purple dressing-gown¹, a pipe-rack within his reach upon the right, and a pile of crumpled morning papers, evidently newly studied, near at hand. […]
In a very short time a decrepit figure emerged from the opium den², and I was walking down the street with Sherlock Holmes. For two streets he shuffled along with a bent³ back and an uncertain foot. […]
It was early in April in the year ’83 that I woke one morning to find Sherlock Holmes standing, fully dressed, by the side of my bed. He was a late riser, as a rule, and as the clock on the mantelpiece⁴ showed me that it was only a quarter-past seven, I blinked⁵ up at him in some surprise.

LE PRETERIT BE + V-ING
On utilise le prétérit BE + V-ING pour parler d’une action ou d’un évènement qui été en cours de déroulement dans le passé. (Le « ING » indique un déroulement de l’action).
Le prétérit BE + V-ING exprime un fait passé, terminé et daté et comme le prétérit simple, il indique une rupture avec le moment du discours.
Généralement, l’action du prétérit BE + V-ING est antérieure au prétérit simple. L’action a donc déjà commencée avant le moment indiqué par le prétérit simple. Il donne donc des information sur le contexte d’une action exprimée au prétérit simple.
Dans une phrase complexe, les deux actions sont reliées soit par un adverbe, une préposition ou une conjonction.
I was reading a book when I saw the teacher.
Le prétérit BE + V-ING est un temps composé. Pour conjuguer le prétérit BE + V-ING on ne tiens plus compte des verbes réguliers ou irréguliers.
Pour construire le prétérit BE + V-ING, il faut ajouter l’auxiliaire « BE » conjugué au prétérit devant la base verbale en « ING ».
