Plan for today

Past Simple and Past Continuous

Mission:

• Aan het einde van de les kan je over het verleden praten in het Engels.

Why?

Dit zorgt ervoor dat je meer details kan geven over gebeurtenissen in het verleden en jezelf dus beter kan uitdrukken in het Engels.

Past Simple 

Past Simple: 

Als iets in het verleden 

is gebeurd.

Past continuous

Past continuous: 

Als iets in het verleden 

bezig was (duurde een tijde). 

+ She was playing soccer.

- She wasn't playing soccer. 

? Was she playing soccer?

Past simple:

Als iets in de verleden is gebeurd  en als het belangrijk is wanneer het is gebeurd.
