Another name is continuous tense.
Continuous tense is another term for progressive tense.
The five progressive tenses in English are: present progressive (e.g., I am eating), past progressive (e.g., She was watching), future progressive (e.g., They will be sleeping), present perfect progressive (e.g., We have been studying), and past perfect progressive (e.g., He had been working).
Yes, "You were speaking" is an example of the past progressive tense, which indicates an ongoing action that was happening in the past. The present progressive tense would be "You are speaking."
The future progressive tense of "attend" is "will be attending."
Use past progressive tense to indicate an action that was ongoing in the past. Use past perfect progressive tense to show a continuous action that started before a certain point in the past and continued up to that point.
The past progressive tense of "study" is "was/were studying."
