we use the past simple to talk about an action in the past
that has finished
we use the past continuous when an action takes place
over a period of time in the past. Compare: I made dinner last night. I started at seven o´clock and finished at half past eight. P.S. What were you doing at eight o´clock? I was making dinner P.C
Sam and I talked for an hour. P.S While we were talking, Jane was trying to get our attention. P.C.
we use P.S. and P.C. in the same sentence to describe an action that interrupted another action which was taking place in the past. We can combine the PS and PC with when and while. While the teacher was explaining the bell rang

Cause this is thriller, thriller night And no-one is gonna save you from the beast about to strikeYou know it’s thiller, thriller nightYou’re fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight.
Yeah, ooh…You hear the door slam and realice ther’s nowhere left to runYou feel the cold hand and wonder if you’ll ever see the sunYou close your eyes and hope that this is just your imagination, girlBut all the while you hear a creature creeping up behind You’re out of time.
Cause this is thriller, thriller nightThere ain’t no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girlThriller, (wooohooo) thriller nightYou’re fighting for your life Inside a killer, thriller tonight.
Night creatures callAnd the dead start to walk in their masqueradeTnere’s no escaping the jaws of the alien this time (they’re opem wide)This is the end of your life.
They’re out to get you, there’s demons closing in on every sideThey will posses you Unlesss you change the number on your dialNow is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeahAll through the nightI’ll save you from the the terror on the screenI’l make you see
It’s close to midnight and something evil’s lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it.
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes.
You’re paralysed.

Darkness fall across the landThe midnight hour is close at handCreatures crawl in search of bloodTo terrorise your neighbourhoodAnd whenever shall be found Without the soul for getting downMust stand and face the hounds of hellAnd rot inside the corpse’s shell.
the foulest stench is in the airThe funk of forty thousand yearsAnd grizzly ghouls from every tombAre closing to seal your doomAnd though you fight to stay aliveYour body starts to shiverFor no mere mortal can resistThe evil of the thriller
that this is thriller, thriller nightGirl, I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare tryThriller,(wooohooo) thriller nightSo let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chillerThriller here tonight
‘cause this is thriller, thriller nightGirl, I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try thriller., thriller nightSo let me hold you tight and share a killer, thillerAaooow.
