• als iets langere tijd in het verleden bezig was (en werd onderbroken door iets anders) 

Past continuous of simple past? 

• Een losstaande afgesloten gebeurtenis: simple past
  I went to the zoo yesterday. 
• Een losstaande gebeurtenis die een tijdje bezig was: past continuous
  Yesterday at eight I was watching the news. 

Past continuous of simple past? 

• Twee gebeurtenissen allebei in het verleden en na elkaar:                     2x simple past  (Last week I went to the zoo and had dinner in a restaurant)

• Twee gebeurtenissen in het verleden die tegelijk plaatsvonden:
  2x  past continuous (I was having dinner while my husband was working.)

• Twee gebeurtenissen die na elkaar plaatsvonden, de tweede onderbrak de eerste: Simple past én 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

Any questions at this point? 

If things are still unclear, there is a video and extra work at the end of this Lesson up.
