Past Simple este un timp verbal care exprima actiuni incepute si incheiate in trecut, al caror moment este precizat. In limba romana , traducem cu perfect compus. (eu am vorbit, tu ai alergat,etc)
Mod de formare:
Afirmativ: Subiect+Verb/-ed sau forma a II-a
Interogativ: Did+Subiect+Verb
Negativ: Subiect +didn`t+ Verb
La forma afirmativa, daca verbul este regulat ii adaugi”-ed”, daca este neregulat ii scrii forma a doua. La interogativ si negative, verbele se intorc la prima forma.
Past Continuous exprima actiuni in plina desfasurare in trecut. In limba romana traducem cu imperfect (eu vorbeam, tu alergai,etc)
Mod de formare:
Afirmativ: Subiect+ was/were + Verb-ing
Interogativ: Was/Were + Subiect+ verb-ing
Negativ: Subiect+ wasn`t/weren`t + Verb-ing
Atentie: La unele verbe ( swim, stop ,hit, travel, run, put, cut, shut, step, clap, admit, prefer,sit,begin,get), cand adaugi “-ing”, dublezi ultima consoana: swimming, stopping, etc. Daca verbul s etermina in “-e”, cand adaugi “-ing”, “-e” dispare: dance-dancing, write-writing,etc.
Atunci cand avem o actiune durative intrerupta de una non-durativa, trebuie folosite ambele timpuri.
EX. She was sleeping when instarted to rain.
Ea dormea cand a inceput sa ploua.
WHEN + PAST SIMPLE
Atunci cand ambele actiuni sunt durative, folosim Present continuous

WHILE + PAST CONTINUOUS
