PAST SIMPLE, PAST CONTINUOUS



PAST SIMPLE



We use past simple when the present have no connection with the action. and to describe a thing that is finished in the past.

 Aleix saw a monkey.
Guillem laid in his house.

When the verb is regular, allways finish with -ed, but with the irregular we have to look at the third column of th list of the verbs.

REGULAR: played
IRREGULAR: fell/fallen

When it finish with a time word. for example.

went to the cinema yesterday.
We visited Japan in 2007.



PAST CONTINUOUS

We use past continuous when we talk about what we were doing at the moment in the past.

I was jumping in the park.
Aleix was drawing a grat picture.

A continuous action in the past which is interrupted by another action or a time:
I was talking with her WHEN the phone rang
He were jumping when she called him.

For two actions which happened at the same time in the past:

was watching TV and he was reading.


+                                                              
I was 
you were 
He/She/It was
We/you they were



-
I wasn't 
you weren't
he/she/it wasn't 
We/you they weren't 


?
Was I....?
Were you....?
Was he/she/it....?
Were we/you they....?
