FAILURE
The past continuous can help us to show that we failed to do something. This works with the following verbs:
Hope:
• We were hoping to swim in the sea but there was a storm.
Intend:
• He was intending to get here earlier; however, the train was delayed.
Try:
• I was trying to get through yet nobody answered.
Plan:
• She was planning on taking the day off but her boss said 'no'.

POLITENESS
Sometimes we can use the continuous aspect to help us sound more polite. This works best in the past and future.
We can open polite indirect questions with the past continuous:
• I was wondering if you could help me with this form.
We can also make polite enquiries with the future continuous:
• Excuse me, will you be serving drinks soon?
It also comes in handy for making apologies:
• I'm sorry but we won't be giving a staff discount any more.
