WORKSHOP # TWO, GUIDE 1

Remember that: The difference between simple past and continuous past in English.
The past continuous is formed with was / were plus the gerund (the -ing form of the
verb). We use the simple past to narrate specific events in the past, and the continuous
past to set or talk about things that last a certain time.

(Recordemos que: La diferencia entre  pasado simple  y pasado continuo  en inglés. El  pasado
continuo  se forma con was / were más el gerundio (la forma -ing del verbo). Usamos el  pasado
simple par narrar acontecimientos puntuales en el  pasado, y el pasado continuo  para para ambientar
o hablar de cosas que duraron cierto tiempo.)
