Past simple vs. Past continuous

Past Simple (Verledentijd)

We use the Past Simple tense to talk about an action or a situation - an event - in the past. The event can be short or long.

 Regular verbs: end in -ED

Irregular verbs: (2e rij)

The car exploded at 9.30am yesterday. 

She went to the door.

We did not hear the telephone.

Did you see that car?

Lesson goals

• I can describe trips and holidays and talk about the weather.
• I understand the difference between the past simple and the past continuous.

Past Continuous

The Past Continuous tense expresses action at a particular moment in the past. 

The action started before that moment but has not finished at that moment. 

Example: - Yesterday I watched a film on TV. The film started at 7pm and finished at 9pm.

- I was working at 10pm last night.

- They were not playing football at 9am this morning.

The listener usually knows or understands what time we are talking about.
