9. Lets analyze. Classify the words and expressions according to the following categories:
Asking and giving opinions
Actions in the past that were interrupted
Talking about plans

TRAIN YOUR BRAIN

We use the Past Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the past was interrupted. The
interruption is usually a shorter action in the Simple Past.

When you use Past Continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses the idea that
both actions were happening at the same time. The actions are parallel.

Dear Kelly
I am writing to tell you some details about my last vacation. I hope you to visit this great place on
your next holidays.
One of my favorite vacation places is Mexico. I really liked the weather there because it never gets
cold. The people were very nice too. The food was really good. Mexico City was a very interesting
place to visit. It had some great museums and lots of fascinating old buildings. The hotels were too
expensive to stay but there were more affordable options. For example, we stayed at one of the
beach resorts in Acapulco. If you are planning to visit Mexico, you definitely have to see the Mayan
temples near Merida.
Say hello to your family and friends.
Sincerely yours
Carlos.

TRAIN YOUR BRAIN

Simple past and past continuous
We often use the past continuous tense with the simple past tense. We use the past continuous
tense to express a long action. And we use the simple past tense to express a short action that
happens in the middle of the long action. We can join the two ideas with when or while.
In the following example, we have two actions:
Long action (cooking), expressed with past continuous tense
Short action (telephoned), expressed with simple past tense

PAST TENSE
I was cooking dinner When You called at 8pm.
____________________ 8pm _________________
Long action Short action.
We can join these two actions with when:
I was cooking dinner when you called. We use:
when + short action (simple past tense)
while + long action (past continuous tense)
