Past Continuous - ( Past Continuous )

The Past Continuous is a verb tense describes actions that were being made ​​at a time of the year to which it refers and then continued , for example :

 

Yesterday I was studying Inglés . Yesterday he was studying English .

( Started studying before that time and continued to study later )

John was playing tennis at 10 a.m. John was playing tennis at 10 am

( Began playing tennis before 10 am and continued doing it after )

 

The Past Continuous is constructed with the auxiliary verb "to be" in its past and the main verb in the infinitive with ING termination :

 

 

 

Note that the negative form is constructed by placing the particle after the verb NOT TO BE. You can also use WAS NOT or Were contracted form .

 

You can also use this tense to describe two actions that happened in the past and one of them has already been completed . We use the Simple Past to mention it already ended and the Past Continuous to tell what is still running

Past Simple - (Simple Past Tense )

Simple Past tense is used to describe actions that have happened at an earlier time and have already completed , for example :

She cleaned her house . She cleaned her house.

I broke the window . I broke the window.

Here we see their conjugation in the Spanish equivalent to the Past Indefinite. Notice that the sentence structure is similar to the Simple Present :

Both the negative interrogative as auxiliary DID is used as it is the past form of the verb "TO DO" and accompanies the main verb in its infinitive form . Negations can be used in the contracted form of DID or DID NOT . In the top box uses the verb To Play ( Play ) as an example .

By expressing a sentence in the Simple Past is understood that the action is unrelated to the present , as shown in the following cases :

I lost the keys. He lost the keys.

( Perhaps in the present you find them .) She lent me a book . She lent me a book.

( It may have already returned it ) .

It is also possible to indicate the time when the action is to tell time more accurately :

They saw the movie last night . They saw the movie last night .

We went to London yesterday . We went to London yesterday.

In order to form a sentence in the past tense must distinguish two types : REGULAR VERBS and IRREGULAR VERBS
