LEARN THIS! Past tenses
a We use the past simple for a sequence of events that happened one after the other.
b We use the past continuous to describe an activity that was in progress at a certain time in the past.
c We use the past simple for a single event that interrupted a longer event in the past. We use the past continuous for the longer event.
d We use the past perfect for an event that happened before another time in the past.
Tạm dịch:
LEARN THIS! Thì quá khứ
a Chúng ta dùng thì quá khứ đơn cho một chuỗi các sự kiện xảy ra nối tiếp nhau.
b Chúng ta sử dụng thì quá khứ tiếp diễn để mô tả một hành động đang diễn ra tại một thời điểm nhất định trong quá khứ.
c Chúng ta dùng thì quá khứ đơn cho một sự kiện làm gián đoạn một sự kiện dài hơn trong quá khứ. Chúng ta sử dụng thì quá khứ tiếp diễn cho sự kiện dài hơn.
d Chúng ta dùng thì quá khứ hoàn thành cho một sự kiện đã xảy ra trước một thời điểm khác trong quá khứ.
