 INFORMATION: The simple past and the past progressiv e , also past continuous , are used to express actions in the past. We use the simple past as the narrative form of the past to express completed, sequential actions. We use the past progressive to say what was happening at a particular moment in the past, to set the scene and to emphasise the process or duration of a past action. more information in: https://english.lingolia.com/en/grammar/tense-comparison/simple-past-past-progressive https://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/simpas-paspro have fun in: https://agendaweb.org/verbs/past-progressive-past-simple.html https://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/exercises/tenses/simple_past_progressive.htm https://www.perfect-english-grammar.com/past-simple-past-continuous-exercise-1.html Video: https://youtu.be/TbK4JLHIp-U
