SIMPLE PAST TENSE

English Grammar
With most verbs, the past tense is formed by adding – ed.
For example: called, liked, wanted, worked; but there are a lot of irregular past tense forms. Here are some
irregular verbs in English, with their past tense forms:
Base Form Past Tense
Be Was/were
Begin Began
Break Broke
Bring Brought
Buy Bought
Build Built
Choose Chose

We use the past tense to talk about:

 something that happened once in the past:

I met my wife in 1983.
We went to Spain for our holidays.

 something that happened several times in the past:

 When I was a boy, I walked a mile to school every day.
We swam a lot while we were on holiday.

 something that was true for some time in the past:

He enjoyed being a student.
She played a lot of tennis when she was younger.

 we often use expressions with ago with the past simple:

I met my wife a long time ago.

Past simple questions and negatives

We use did to make questions with the past simple:

Did she play tennis when she was younger?
When did you meet your wife?
Where did you go for your holidays?
But questions with who often don't use did:
Who discovered penicillin?
Who wrote Don Quixote?
We use didn't (did not) to make negatives with the past simple:
They didn't go to Spain this year.
I didn't see you yesterday. 

PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE

The past continuous is made from the past tense of the verb be and the –ing  form of a verb: I, he, she, it =
was; you, we, they = were
Affirmative: was/were + present participle (verb + ing)

Negative: wasn’t/weren’t + present participle (verb + ing)

Meaning
1. Past continuous is used to say that an action was in progress at a particular time in the past. The action
had already started at this time but had not finished.
 I was having dinner at 6pm last night.
 What were you doing this time yesterday?
2. Past continuous is used to say that an action was in progress at every moment during a period of time.
 You were working all morning, weren’t you?
 I was playing football all day yesterday.
3. Past continuous is used with past simple. Past continuous refers to a longer or background action that
was in progress; past simple refers to a shorter action that interrupted the longer action, or happened in
the middle of it.
 He was walking to work when he met John.
 She was eating when the phone rang.
 While I was working in the garden, I heard a woman scream.
4. Past continuous is used to say that an action in the past was temporary.
 You were working in the Sales Department last month, weren’t you?
  They were living in Paris for a year.
5. Past continuous is used with words such as always to talk about things that happened repeatedly.
 Grandpa was always telling us funny stories about his life and cracking jokes.
