Past Simple / Past Continuous

Past Continuous and Past Simple

Past Continuous = al aan de gang ( lang)

Past Simple = iets gebeurde (kort)

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.''

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.

Past continuous vs. past simple

Je gebruikt de past continuous i.c.m. de past simple om aan te geven dat er iets gebeurde (korte actie = past simple) terwijl er al iets aan de gang was (lange actie = past continuous).

 I was reading a book when the phone rang. 

I was washing my car when the accident happened. 

past simple = korte actie 

past continuous = lange actie
