Sometimes stories are a good way to explain why you want to do something.

So today we’re looking at narrative tenses that will help you write a good story: past simple and past continuous. Why do we use the past continuous when we’re writing stories? Why not use the past simple all the time?

Great question. The past simple works well when we want to list things that happened. But stories get more interesting when we use the past continuous too, so the past simple AND continuous.

Why’s that?

The past continuous brings stories alive. It adds extra information and helps us paint pictures in our mind
