Past Simple vs Past Continuous

Binnen de verleden tijd kennen we in de Engelse taal twee vormen: de past simple en de past continuous. De past simple is de meeste simpele vorm en de past continuous gebruik je als wilt aangeven dat je iets in het verleden een tijdje deed.

Past simple / past continuous

Om de past continuous te maken heb je altijd 2 werkwoorden nodig, 

namelijk een vervoeging van to be (was of were) + werkwoord met -ing erachter. 

to be      +            werkwoord-ing

 I was playing

 You were walking

He was studying

 She was eating

It was hurting

We were swimming

You were driving

They were travelling
