Past Simple

&

Past Continuous

Past Simple

You use the past simple when something happened in the past and is finished.

The past simple is what we call in Dutch: de verleden tijd

When do you use the past simple?

Als het in het verleden is begonnen en het is afgelopen.

Er staan (vaak) signaalwoorden in de zin, zoals 'yesterday', 'last week', 'this morning', 'last year', 'when I was little', 'in 2001', 'ago' etc.

Donald Trump talked about himself on the telly yesterday.
Barack Obama left the White House in January 2017.

Past Continuous

De Past Continuous ('ing- vorm') gebruik je:

- als de handeling in de verleden tijd aan de gang was en op een bepaald moment door een andere handeling werd onderbroken;

Voorbeeld: I was screaming while we hit a roadsign

- een handeling die in het verleden voor een langere periode bezig was en uiteindelijk is getopt

I was reading a book by the pool

How?

Je maakt deze door was/were + ww+ ing

Voorbeeld: While I was watching TV, I was also preparing my lunch.
