English

Ganezh [65]3 years ago

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).
