About This Resource
This B1–B2 resource develops the interaction between the past simple and past continuous in descriptions and narratives. It shows how the continuous can establish an activity or background already in progress while the simple presents completed events that advance the sequence.
What You’ll Learn
• Use the past continuous for actions already in progress at a past time.
• Use the past simple for completed events and narrative steps.
• Combine the two tenses to express background and interrupting events.
• Build accurate auxiliary and verb forms in both tense systems.
