English

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).

Vikranth could easily remember due to the grouped categorization of the information rather than individually. He breaks the 20 letters and groups it into seven. It is a memory mechanism to improve the perception level and to store the information easily.
