Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to differentiate between past simple and past continuous tenses and use them correctly in sentences.

What do you already know about the past simple and past continuous tenses?

Slide 1: Introduction

Past simple and past continuous are both used to talk about actions that happened in the past, but they have different uses and structures.

Slide 2: Past Simple

The past simple is used to describe completed actions in the past. It is formed by adding '-ed' to regular verbs and using irregular verb forms.

Slide 3: Past Simple Example

Example: She played tennis yesterday.

Slide 4: Past Continuous

The past continuous is used to describe ongoing actions in the past. It is formed by using 'was/were' + verb-ing.

Slide 5: Past Continuous Example

Example: They were watching a movie when I arrived.

Slide 6: Differences

Past simple is used for completed actions, while past continuous is used for ongoing actions. Past simple emphasizes the result, while past continuous emphasizes the process.

Slide 7: Practice Exercise

Rewrite the following sentences using past simple or past continuous: 1. I (watch) TV when the phone (ring). 2. She (dance) at the party last night.

Slide 8: Review

Past simple is used for completed actions, while past continuous is used for ongoing actions. Remember the structures and uses of each tense for accurate communication.
