Talk about the difference between simple past and past procressive.

Form , functions and examples.

Remember the simple past talks about something that happened before. It happened and it finished.
Some words are regular and just have ed added at the end like walked, helped, and played a example:

My mother went grocery shopping yesterday.

We played basketball after school last Thursday.

I ate a lot when I was a child.

The past progressive talks about something that was happening before, but for a period of time. It uses
was or were + verb-ing like was eating or were playing. It gives a background for something that was
happening while a different event happened.

example:

i was studying when my friend called me.

We were playing soccer when it started to rain.

They were singing in the auditorium when the alarm rang.

While I was eating, the telephone rang.

So, during the time I was eating (let's say from 6:30-7:00 p.m.) somebody called my house (let's say they
called at 6:49p.m.) One thing happened (simple past) during the period of time another thing was
happening (past progressive.)

Wozniak's Apple I personal computer, though Wayne sold his share back within 12 days. It was
incorporated as Apple Computer, Inc., in January 1977, and sales of its computers, including the Apple II,
grew quickly. Within a few years, Jobs and Wozniak had hired a staff of computer designers and had a
production line. Apple went public in 1980 to instant financial success. Over the next few years, Apple
shipped new computers featuring innovative graphical user interfaces, such as the original Macintosh in
1984, and Apple's marketing advertisements for its products received widespread critical acclaim.
However, the high price of its products and limited application library caused problems, as did power
struggles between executives.

He was the chairman, chief executive officer (CEO), and co-founder of Apple Inc., the chairman and
majority shareholder of Pixar, a member of The Walt Disney Company's board of directors following its
acquisition of Pixar, and the founder, chairman, and CEO of NeXT. Jobs is widely recognized as a pioneer
of the personal computer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s, along with Apple co-founder Steve
Wozniak.

Stephen Gary Wozniak also known by his nickname "Woz," is an American electronics engineer,
programmer, philanthropist, and technology entrepreneur. In 1976, he co founded Apple Inc, which later
became the world's largest information technology company by revenue and the largest company in the
world by market capitalization. Through their work at Apple in the 1970s and 1980s, he and Apple co
founder Steve Jobs are widely recognized as two prominent pioneers of the personal computer
revolution.

Ronald Wayne is a retired American electronics industry businessman. He co founded Apple Computer
Company (now Apple ) as a partnership with Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, providing administrative
oversight and documentation for the new venture. Twelve days later, he sold his 10% share of the new
company back to Jobs and Wozniak .
