• I know how to use the expressions in Unit 1.

Grammar: simple past

Quick overview

• What is in the past, stays in the past. 
• verb + ed 
• irregular verbs 2nd row.
• Questions? use  did + infinitive
• negations - use didn't + infinitive

Grammar: past continuous

Quick overview

• past tense for ongoing action
• was/were + ww + ing
  
• used to specify an action in progress in the past.

Past continuous of simple past? 

• 1 event - 1 action simple past
  I went to the zoo yesterday. 
• 1 event - continuous action past continuous
  Yesterday at eight I was watching the news. 

Past continuous of simple past? 

• sequence = simple past
  Last week I went to the zoo and out for dinner in a restaurant.
• 2 simultaneous events =  2x past continuous
  I was having dinner while my husband was working.
• Two events in sequence; one interrupts the other = simple past + past continuous.
  I was doing the dishes when you entered the room. 

Let's practise!

Fill in the correct form of the tenses. When you have to give more than one answer, separate these with the use of a comma. 

For instance: 

was going, visited

What ...(you / do) when I ... (call) you last night?

I ...(sit) in a café when you ... (call).

Yesterday I ...(go) to the library, next I ... (have) a swim, later I ... (meet) Julie for a coffee.

What ...(they / do) at 10pm last night? It ...(be) really noisy.

. When her train ... (get) to the station, we
...(wait) on the platform.

He ...(work) in a bank when he ... (meet) his wife.

Simple past and past continuous
