After today... 

... you can use the past continuous correctly and know the difference between the

past simple and past continuous.

Past Continuous 

Past Continuous 

• Longer period of time, but has stopped. 

Form is very important: 

• Past form of to be (was/were) and verb + ing.

For example

He was swimming in the ocean.

We were eating at that restaurant.

I was reading a book. 

He ... (eat) a sandwich.

She ... (walk) home.

Can you think of more sentences that are in de past continuous?

Past Simple vs. Past Continuous

Can work together in a sentence.  

Past Continuous is longer <--> Past Simple is shorter.

                       I was cooking dinner when the phone rang. 

He ... (walk) when he ... (run into) his friend.

I ... (break) my ankle when I ... (play) football.
