PAST SIMPLE PAST CONTINUOUS


Form: we add “ed” to all regular verbs, Form: was/were + verb + ing
Irregular verbs must be learnt by heart. The Past Continuous means that at a time in
the past we were in the middle of an action.
We use the Past Simple for something in the
past which is finished. We were playing tennis at 4 p.m. yesterday.
They were eating when we arrived.
He played tennis yesterday.
The children went to the park this morning. We use: wasn’t/weren’t + verb + ing for
negatives:
We use “did” to make questions and “didn’t”
for negatives. The verb stays in the base form. John wasn’t reading a book when we arrived.
Did you see Bob yesterday?
They didn’t come to the party on Sunday . We use: was/were + subject + verb + ing for
questions:
Was she making dinner when you got home?
