Past SimPle vs Past progressive
~

Look at the pictures below and match the two halves of the sentences.

Last Saturday Sam and his friends were bored. So, they decided to visit a frightening, old house in
t he neighbourhood. They were very excited . What happened? Is the house haunted?

1 Sam was entering a dark room (picture 3)

a it disappeared .

2 Stacey saw the ghost, (picture 4)

b when a shadow appeared in front of him .

3 While Mary was running after the ghost, (picture 5)

c while she was looking in an old wardrobe .

~What do you think the words in bold mean?
Grammar
Past Simple
We use the Past Simple:
• for actions that took place at a specific time in the past.
e.g. We visited Brazil two years ago.
• for completed actions that happened one after the
other in the past.
e.g. Yesterday, I got back home from school, had lunch
and did my homework.

Time Expressions
yesterday / in 2001, etc.
a month / a year ago, etc.
last night / week / Sunday / March, etc.
~ The

past tense of be is waslwere and the past
tense of can is could.
e.g. When I was young, I could climb trees, but now I can't.

Past Progressive
We use the Past Progressive:
• for an action that was happening at a specific point of time in the past.
e.g. My mum was cooking at eight o'clock last night.
• to describe background scenes in a story. e.g. It was snowing and there was nobody in the streets.
We use the Past Progressive and the Past Simple in the same sentence when one action that was happening in the past
was interrupted by another. We use the Past Progressive for the longer action and the Past Simple for the shorter action. In
this case, we usually use when or while.
e.g. Jenny was playing near the haunted house when she saw the ghost.
While the children were playing computer games, their mother arrived home.
