Grammer how do i tell the simple past tense apart from the past continuous tense

English
1 answer:
Ganezh [65]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The main difference between past simple and past continuous tense is that:

  • we use<u> past simple tense</u> when something happened at some time in past. We also commonly use this tense with past time adverbs (yesterday, last night, two days ago, etc.)

For example: John called his friend yesterday.

  • we use <u>past continuous tense</u> if an action occurred in the past and <u>lasted for a period of time.</u>

Example: I was reading a book all day yesterday.

We used past continuous tense because the action of reading lasted for some time (a whole day in this case).

slava [35]
<span>In Act 2 there is a scene where Macbeth just killed Duncan and is heading back to lady Macbeth covered in blood. They have a conversation about the incident that took place and suggest that the fact that he could not return the weapon was because he felt guilty. He also kept muttering about all the blood on his hands, coming from the king, on the daggers.

He imagined hearing noises when he first comes in imagining people in the castle that could be witness to his crime. He also said that when he was committing the crime, he thought he heard someone say “Sleep no more... Macbeth has murdered sleep”. This was also an indication of guilt from his conscience .

Kryger [21]

Answer:

A) The cone has a larger volume by 10.79 in3.

Explanation:

Cone

height = 3 inches

radius = 4 inches

volume = 1/3 πr²h

volume = 1/3 × π × 4² × 3

volume = 1/3 × π × 16 × 3

volume = 1/3 × 22/7 × 48

volume = 1056 /21

volume = 50.2857142857  in³

volume = 50. 30 in³

pyramid

height = 3 inches

length of the square base  = 2π

volume = 1/3 l²h

volume  = 1/3 × (2π)² ×  3

volume = 1/3 × 4 ×  484/49 × 3

volume = 5808 /147

volume = 39.5102040816  in³

volume = 39.51 in³

Difference in volume = 50. 30 in³ - 39.51 in³ = 10.79 in³

How and why are readers impacted by painful stories?
Nadya [2.5K]
BECAUSE PAIN IS THE #1 WAY TO KEEP THE ATTENTION OF PUNY BRAINED BOOKWORMS.

When your heart starts bleeding because you are ridiculously emotionally engaged in a fictional story…you know you care. OH GRAPE. YOU SURE DO CARE. And the best way to show you care is to ache and worry and fret over something.
