POWER POINT PAST CONTINUOUS POR: SAMUEL MORENO GÓMEZ Y AITOR ORTUBE FORERO

Past continuous tense : 

Past continuous tense I n t e r r o g a t i v e N e g a t i v e

DESCRIPCIÓN : 

DESCRIPCIÓN Indica que una acción se estaba desarrollando en cierto momento del pasado al cual se hace referencia. No dice si la acción ya finalizó o todavía continuaba. When the mother came home her husband was playing with the kids (no sabemos si terminó de jugar en ese momento o continuó jugando) A veces se describen dos acciones simultáneas que tuvieron lugar en el pasado. En dicho caso, se utiliza el "past imple" para describir aquella que finalizó y el "past continuous" para aquella otra que estaba ocurriendo cuando la primera tuvo lugar. Yesterday evening when you called me I was having a shower When the parents arrived home the children were watching TV

DESCRIPCIÓN : 

DESCRIPCIÓN Otra diferencia entre ambos tiempos es que el "past continuous" se utiliza a veces para indicar que la acción es más casual, menos planificada. Yesterday morning, from 8 to 10, I was running (algo rutinario, que suelo hacer con frecuencia, por lo que no lo resalto) Yesterday morning, from 8 to 10, I ran (algo diferente, un tanto extraordinario, por lo que quiero destacarlo)

The past simple and the past continuous do not mean exactly the same. Compare: : 

The past simple and the past continuous do not mean exactly the same. Compare: When Mary arrived, we were having dinner. This means that we already started dinner before Mary arrived. When Mary arrived, we had dinner. This means that Mary arrived first and then we had dinner.
