happening around a particular time in the past.

television.
Tip! He started watching television

before 8 o’clock, and he continued
watching it after 8 o’clock.

town in Poland. were traveling to the airport.

When we use the Past Continuous and the Past Simple tenses together, the Past Continuous describes a longer
‘background’ action or situation, and the Past Simple describes the action or event.

father was singing in the kitchen. two masked men in the bank.

It is very common that the ‘action’ described by the Past Simple tense interrupts the ‘situation’ described by the Past
Continuous tense.

doorbell rang.
