PAST TENSES

PAST SIMPLEWe use the past simple: for completed actions and events in the past:

We had an exam on Thursday. We caught the coach.

for a sequence of actions or events: I went round the shops, then I went to the cinema.

for permanent or long-term situations in the past: I really enjoyed myself when I was a teenager.

for repeated events: Jack’s grandmother went to lots of concerts. She always asked for an autograph when she met

someone famous.

PAST CONTINUOUSWe use the past continuous: for an activity beginning before a past

action and continuing until or after it. The action is usually in the past simple: When we were queuing for the cinema,, we

saw T a really famous footballer. for two things happening at the same time:

He was buying a burger and all the crowds were walking past .

PAST CONTINUOUS for repeated events, with a word like always or

continually, especially if the speaker is criticising the activity: Yow·mother was always doing her homework. (= She

did her homework regularly and often. Jack's grandmother thinks she worked too hard!)

for unfulfilled plans, with verbs like hope, plan etc.: I was hoping to find a new jacket. (= but I didn't find

one) State verbs are used in the past simple, not the

past continuous

USED TO AND WOULD We use used to and would to talk about

past habits when we are emphasising that they are no longer true: I used to collect marbles (=but I don’t

anymore) I would go up to town on my own

USED TO AND WOULD Used to can describe actions and states,

but would can only describe actions: All the teenagers used to/ would scream

at pop concerts. They used to be crazy about the Beatles.

(not They would be crazy about the Beatles.)

Used to is much more common than would.

USED TO AND WOULD Do not confuse used to (do), which is a

past tense, with be/get used to(doing), which can be present, past or future.

Be/Get used to (doing) means 'be/become accustomed to doing'
