Let’s remember
Past Simple
The past simple shows us that an action was in the past, not in the present.
a) Regular past simple verbs have -ed at the end (e.g. called, played,
arrived).
b) Irregular verbs have a different form, usually with a different vowel
sound (e.g. wake → woke, break → broke, feel → felt).
My parents called me yesterday.
I woke up early this morning.
Sam played basketball when he was at university.
We make the negative with didn't and the infinitive verb.
My parents didn't call me yesterday.
I didn't wake up early this morning.
We make the question form with did and then the subject and infinitive verb.
Did you wake up early this morning?
Did Sam play basketball when he was at university?
Past continuous
The past continuous shows us that the action was already in progress at a
certain time in the past.
We were cleaning the house all morning.
We make the past continuous with was or were and the -ing form of the verb.
She couldn't come to the party. She was working.
Three years ago, we were living in my home town.
I tried to give him some advice, but he wasn't listening.
What were you doing this time last year?
Past continuous and Past simple
We often use these tenses to show an action interrupting another action.
I broke my leg when I was skiing.
As I was going to work, I saw an old friend.
We were watching television when the power went off.

A Visit to the Emergency Room
Last year, I broke my hand, I fell while I was going to the dentist. I called my
son. He was teaching a lesson of German at St. George Elementary School, and
I told him the bad news. He took me to the emergency room of Jefferson
Hospital. He helped me to fill out the forms and waited with me and my
husband for one hour. Then he went back to his job. My husband and I were
waiting for a doctor, when my daughter arrived. I felt nervous about my
English. We waited for the doctor for a very long time. Finally, the nurse called
me to a big room. There were many patients. He took my blood pressure and
gave meTylenol, and asked me something. The doctor examined my hand and
took an x-ray. My hand was swollen and I could not move it. I wanted to tell the
doctor, but my English was not good. He said something but I did not
understand. Then, they examined my hand and they put on the cast.
