Slide 7 - Slide

Past continuous vs. past simple
Deze zinnen kun je herkennen aan het woordje 'when':
''When the phone rang, she was writing a letter.''
'' What were you doing when the earthquake started?''

Als het woordje 'while' in de zin staat, gebeuren twee dingen tegelijk.
Dan gebruik je twee keer de past continuous:
''What were you doing while you were waiting?''
''I was studying while my father was making dinner.''

Slide 8 - Slide

Past continuous vs. past simple
Maar wat als er tijdens die periode iets anders gebeurd? 
''I was cooking dinner when my mother called.''
Dan gebruik je de past simple.

De activiteit die aan de gang was, is de past continuous.
De activiteit die 'erbij komt', is de past simple.


Slide 9 - Slide

Past continuous vs. past simple
Only mentioning or emphasising progress?
Do you just want to mention that an action took place in the past (also used for short actions)?  I played football. 

Or do you want to put emphasis on the progress, e.g. that an action was taking place at a certain time? I was playing football.
