Continuous Past 았/었 왕자는 장미를 찾고 있었어요 Prince

Front 왕자는 장미를 찾고 있었어요
Back The prince was looking for a rose
Notes When talking about continuous past actions with endpoints, -고 있었- used in place of -았/었- stresses out that the action was continuous and incomplete. The simple past -았/었- does not reflect the continuous nature of the action; it simply denotes that the end point has been reached.
