4. The use of past simple, past continuous and past perfect - by heart in ENGLISH
Past Simple
V2
We use the past simple
1) for an
action which happened and finished at a definite time in the past.
The Greens bought a new house last year.
2) for
actions which happened immediately one after the other in the past
He painted the walls in the bedroom and then washed
his hands
3) for
past habits and states which are now finished. In such cases we can also use
the expression used to.
I lived (used to live) in Manchester three years ago.
WAS/WERE + Ving
We use the past continuous
1) for an action
which was in progress at a stated time in the
past. We do not mention when the action started or finished.
They were having breakfast at
9 yesterday.
2) for
an action which was in progress at a definite period of time in the past.
She was cooking the whole
morning on Saturday
3) for two or
more simultaneous actions in the past
I was doing my homework while
my sister was playing with her toys.
4) for an
action which was in progress when another action interrupted it. We use the
past continuous for the action in progress and past simple for the action which
interrupted it.
Jack was walking the dog when
he saw Dave.
5) to give background information in the story
The sun was shining brightly. The wind was blowing and
the birds were singing when I heard a strange noise.
Past Perfect
HAD + V3
We use the past perfect for
1) an action which happened in the past by the stated time.
Molly had cleaned the room by 7 o`clock yesterday.
2) For an
action which happened in the past before another past action.
The action which happened earlier in the past is in the past
perfect tense, and the action which happened later is in the past
simple
The train had already arrived
when Sam came to the platform.
The train had already arrived (this
action happened earlier that`s why the past perfect tense is used) when
Sam came to the platform (this action happened later that`s why past
simple is used)
