Debbie
Yesterday Debbie had a job interview. She went downtown to the company.
The interview was for an accounting job. Debbie graduated university 3 months
ago.
Her interview was at 10:00 am. She woke up at 7:00 am and left her house
before 8:00 am. She waited for the bus, but it was late. She was very worried
because she did not want to be late for the interview. She tried to phone the
company to warn them, but her phone battery was dead.
When the bus arrived, it was almost 9:00 am. Then the bus was slow because
there were many other cars. The bus finally arrived at Debbie’s stop at 9:45 am.
Debbie ran from the bus stop to the office building. When she entered she saw a
sign that said the company was on the 24th floor. The elevator ride took almost 5
minutes because many people stopped at different floors.

I saw a movie yesterday. I studied Japanese when I was

Labuhan Bajo. She used to play football
Last year, I didn’t travel to He didn’t play basketball

Did you have dinner last night? you were a kid?

USE 3 Duration in the Past
The simple past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A
duration is a longer action often indicated by expressions such as for two years, for five
minutes, all day, all year, etc.
Examples:
The simple past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. It can
have the same meaning as used to. To make it clear that we are talking about a habit, we
often add expressions such as always, often, usually, never, when I was a child, when I
was younger, etc.
Examples:
The simple past can also be used to describe past facts or generalizations which are no
longer true. As in USE 4 above, this use of the simple past is quite similar to the
expression used to.
Examples:
Notice :
Example (single sentence) :
I walked to school yesterday.
John lived in Paris for ten years, but now he lives in Rome.
I bought a new motorcycle three days ago.
The simple past indicates that an activity or situation began and ended at a
particular time in the past.
The interrogative form of “have” in the simple past normally uses the auxiliary
“did”.
Examples
They weren't in Rio last summer.
We didn't have any money.
We didn't have time to visit the Eiffel Tower.
We didn't do our exercises this morning.
Were they in Iceland last January?
Did you have a bicycle when you were young?
Note : for the negative and interrogative form of all verbs in the simple past.
Always use the auxiliary “did”.
to give
We gave her a doll for her birthday.
They didn't give John their new address.
Did Barry give you my passport?
to come
My parents came to visit me last July.
We didn't come because it was raining.
Did he come to your party last week?

There are many situations in which this verb tense might be used in a sentence. For
example, it is often used to describe conditions that existed in the past.
Examples:
The sun was shining every day that summer.
As I spoke, the children were laughing at my cleverness
Use cases :
USE 1 Interrupted Action in the Past
Use the past continuous to indicate that a longer action in the past was interrupted.
The interruption is usually a shorter action in the simple past. Remember this can
be a real interruption or just an interruption in time.
Examples:
● I was watching TV when she called.
● When the phone rang, she was writing a letter.
● While we were having the picnic, it started to rain.
● What were you doing when the earthquake started?
● I was listening to my iPod, so I didn't hear the fire alarm.
● You were not listening to me when I told you to turn the oven off.
● While John was sleeping last night, someone stole his car.
● Sammy was waiting for us when we got off the plane.
● While I was writing the email, the computer suddenly went off.
● A: What were you doing when you broke your leg?
B: I was snowboarding.
When you use the past continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses
the idea that both actions were happening at the same time. The actions are parallel.
Examples:
● I wasn't paying attention while I was writing the letter, so I made several mistakes.
● They were eating dinner, discussing their plans, and having a good time.
Repetition and Irritation with Always
The past continuous with words such as always or constantly expresses the idea that
something irritating or shocking often happened in the past. The concept is very
similar to the expression used to but with negative emotion. Remember to put the
words always or constantly between be and verb+ing.
Examples:
● She was always coming to class late.
● He was constantly talking. He annoyed everyone.
● I didn't like them because they were always complaining.
