hi everyone welcome back to english with
Emma today you'll learn when to use the
past simple tense the past continuous
tense and when to use the past simple
and past continuous together let's get
started let's start by looking at the
structure of positive phrases in the
past simple tense we use the subject
plus the past simple form of the verb
which I call v2 or verb to I enjoyed the
film last night for the negative we use
the subject plus did not or didn't plus
the infinitive of the verb I didn't
enjoy the film last night for questions
we start with did plus the subject plus
the infinitive did I enjoyed the film
last night notice how it's only in the
positive phrases that we have to use the
past simple form of the verb in
questions and negatives we used it and
the infinitive if you'd like more
information about the structure and also
the spelling rules then take a look at
my video past simple tense when do we
use the past simple for finished past
actions with a time clause a time clause
is a word or phrase that tells you when
an action happened I walked to school
yesterday here yesterday is the time
clause it tells you when the action
happened we played tennis yesterday she
studied German last year I cooked an egg
for breakfast this morning they wanted
to go to the park last Saturday I
watched an interesting film last night I
finished my book class choose
day she passed her maths exam yesterday
we also used the past simple tense with
a go to indicate how much time has
passed since an action happened I
finished school four years ago the
action finished in 2016 and four years
have passed since that time I saw him
three years ago she finished my book two
months ago I got home ten minutes ago
they finished University twenty years
ago I went to the cinema six weeks ago I
lost my phone two days ago we finished
the course a month ago
your friend called half an hour ago now
let's look at the structure of the past
continuous tense four positive phrases
we start with the subject plus was or
were plus the verb with ing I was
speaking you were speaking for negatives
we start with the subject plus was or
were not plus the verb with ing was not
can be contracted to wasn't and were not
can be contracted to weren't the
contracted forms wasn't and weren't a
much more natural in speaking I wasn't
speaking you weren't speaking for the
question we start with was or were plus
the subject plus the verb with ing was i
speaking were you speaking now if you'd
like more detailed information on the
structure and if you'd like to see the
spelling rules of this tent
then have a look at my video past
continuous tense when do we use the past
continuous for actions that are in
progress at a specific time in the past
the action started before the specific
past time and may or may not continue
after what were you doing at 10 o'clock
I was singing at 10 o'clock I wasn't
singing at 10 o'clock I was reading I
was singing at 7 p.m. he was cooking
when I called him he wasn't studying at
4 o'clock what were you doing at 7 a.m.
I was sleeping at 7 a.m. they were
watching TV at 11 o'clock we were
sleeping when the alarm went off we also
used the past continuous tense to set
the scene in a story so that's to give
background information it was a
beautiful day the Sun was shining and
the birds were singing the beach was
busy that day
children were playing and people were
sunbathing everyone was sitting quietly
reading their books and waiting for the
class to start we also used the past
continuous for an action in progress
that was interrupted by another action
and we use the past simple for the
interrupting action so let's look at the
past simple and past continuous together
an action in progress was interrupted by
another action we use when and while
when is followed by the past simple
tense and while is followed by the past
continuous tense
now there are four different ways that
we can structure the phrases with when
and while we can start with the past
continuous plus when plus the past
simple let's see some examples
I was listening to music when the taxi
arrived noticed that the longer action
listening to music
is with the past continuous and the
short interrupting action the taxi
arrived is with the past simple I was
reading when my mum called
he was cooking when the fire alarm went
off I was walking to work when I saw you
we were doing yoga when we had an
accident
he was watching TV when he heard the
news we can also start with when plus
the past simple plus a comma and then
the past continuous if we start the
phrase with when it's important to use
the comma before the past continuous
when the taxi arrived I was listening to
music the meaning is the same as the
previous phrase I was listening to music
when the taxi arrived only the structure
is different when my mum called
I was reading when the fire alarm went
off he was cooking when I saw you I was
walking to work when we had an accident
we were doing yoga when he heard the
news he was watching TV the third way is
to start with the past simple plus while
plus the past continuous the taxi
arrived while I was listening to music
my mum called while I was
reading the fire alarm went off while he
was cooking I saw you while I was
walking to work we had an accident while
we were doing yoga he heard the news
while he was watching TV and the final
way that we can combine these two tenses
is to start with while plus the past
continuous and a coma plus the past
simple so if we start the phrase with
while it's necessary to use a comma
before the past simple while I was
listening to music the taxi arrived
while I was reading my mum called while
he was cooking the fire alarm went off
while I was walking to work I saw you
while we were doing yoga we had an
accident while he was watching TV he
heard the news let's see one more
example of how you can use the past
simple and past continuous in four
different ways with no change in the
meaning I was singing when the phone
rang when the phone rang I was singing
the phone rang while I was singing while
I was singing the phone rang
so in all phrases the meaning is the
same we use the past continuous for the
longer action and the past simple for
the shorter interrupting action while
always appears before past continuous
and when always appears before the past
simple and if we start the phrase with
when or a while then we must use a comma
okay so that's everything you need to
know about combining the past simple and
the past continuous tenses
