Let’s review SIMPLE TENSES! Fill in the blanks in the rules and come up with examples:

What do all continuous tenses have in common?

Continuous tenses are used whenever we are talking about a period of time (length of time), they show an
action as a process.
Why is the continuous form used in these sentences? Match uses a)-d) with sentences 1-4.

Check your answers at the end of the summary.

What’s the difference between simple and continuous tenses? How do you choose between them? Do
markers always definitely tell us which tense to use?

Go through the chart and add your own examples for each of the rules.

Can you see the difference in meaning?
When we use the continuous aspect, we view the action in progress. It does not describe the whole event.
The continuous aspect may indicate:
• that the action (or series of actions) is in progress, we view it at some point between its beginning and its
end;
• that the action is not complete;
• that the situation is only temporary.
State verbs don’t have this meaning, they state facts, and that’s why we don’t use the continuous aspect with
them.

Choose the best option, A or B. If both options are possible, choose both.
