Hi Guys,
I hope everyone and their families are well.
Hi Guys! Paul here...
The first week we did a listening, last week some phrasal verbs, so this week we are looking over some grammar we've practiced recently.
THE PAST SIMPLE & PAST CONTINUOUS
Look and read through the first attachment showing examples of how we use the two tenses.
But first remember:
PAST CONTINUOUS shows an action lasted for a period of time in the past.
Eg I was shaving( afeitando). The men were singing.
The second action is a short action that has interrupted the first. So for this we need past simple Eg. The dog barked at a cat. The woman screamed.
So:
I was shaving, when the dog barked at a cat.
The woman screamed because she saw a mouse while the men were singing
The regular past simple is formed using 'ed' and the past continuous is formed using was/were + verb ( base form or 1st column) + ing
After you have looked through the examples on the first attachment, please complete the worksheet in the second attachment.
Some questions you might only need to use the past simple, look to see if the actions are finished, or one completed action follows another .
