The difference between past simple & past continuous
Hi every one To day i'll talk about the difference between past simple and past continuous Past Simple Tense(الماضي البسيط) We use the past simple to talk about actions and states which we see as completed in the past نستخدم الماضي للتحدث عن حدث وقع في الماضي وانتهى حدوثه We can use it to talk about a specific point in time يمكن إستخدامه للتحدث عن نقطه معينة من الزمن She came back last Friday I saw her in the street They didn't agree to the deal It can also be used to talk about a period of time She lived in Tokyo for seven years They were in London from Monday to Thursday of last week You will often find the past simple used with time expressions such as these: أنكم غالبا ماتجدون الماضي البسيط المستخدم مع مرور الزمن مثل هذه العبارات -Yesterday /\-three weeks ago -last year -in 2002 -from March to June -for a long time -for 6 weeks -in the 1980s -in the last century -in the past /\ /\ P + V+ed +time expressions Past continuous Tense(الماضي المستمر) We use the past continuous to talk about past events which went on for a period of time .ونحن نستخدم الماضي المستمر للتحدث عن الأحداث الماضية التي مضت لفترة من الزمن We use it when we want to emphasize the continuing process of an activity or the period of that activity. (If we just want to talk about the past event as a simple fact, we use the past simple.) نستعملها عندما نريد ان نؤكد استمرار عملية نشاط او فترة ممارسة هذا النشاط.( وإذا أردنا التحدث عن الماضي كحدث بسيط نستخدم الماضي البسيط ) While I was driving home, Peter was trying desperately to contact me When I was living in New York, I went to all the art exhibitions I could Were you expecting any visitors? Q Sorry, were you sleeping? Q I was just making some coffee I was thinking about him last night In the 1990s few people were using mobile phones We often use it to describe a "background action" when something else happened ونحن أيضا نستخدمه لوصف حدث بينما يحدث أمر آخر *I was walking in the street when I suddenly fell over *She was talking to me on the phone and it suddenly went dead *They were still waiting for the plane when I spoke to them *The company was declining rapidly before he took charge *We were just talking about it before you arrived *I was making a presentation in front of 500 people when the microphone stopped working /\ /\ /\ /\ You,We,They + were +V+ing /\ I , He , She , It + was +V+ing |
