Are those sentence grammatically correct?


Glorious summer seems to have passed half way already. I now got 24 hours a day to fulfill the dream I was nurturing during the previous school year


Is was nurturing the perfect tense for this sentence? Obiviously I can use the past tense, but I think adding a past continuous will make the sentence sound more continuous

  • Are you possibly saying that when school let out and your vacation began, the summer was already half spent?
