Aan het einde van de les kan je zeggen dat je iets in het verleden aan het doen was.
Why?
Dit zorgt ervoor dat je beschrijvingen kan geven over het verleden waarin je een tijdje ergens mee bezig bent. Hiermee kan je dus duidelijk aangeven hoelang iets duurde en geef je dus betere beschrijvingen over het verleden.
