Минали времена (Past Simple, Past Continuous)
Учим двете основни минали времена: Past Simple и Past Continuous. Past Simple описва завършени действия в миналото, често с точно време (yesterday, in 2019). Past Continuous (was/were + -ing) описва действие, което е било в ход в определен момент в миналото, или фон на историята. Когато кратко действие прекъсва по-дълго, дългото е в Past Continuous, а краткото в Past Simple.
