RABA: Past continuous uporabljamo, ko želimo opisati dogodke, ki so se dogajali v preteklosti. Dogodki so se zaključili v preteklosti in nič več ne trajajo. Dogodki so v preteklosti trajali dalj časa.

Past simple in past continuous Tako past simple kot continuous uporabljamo, ko opisujemo dogodke, ki so se zgodili v preteklosti. Past continuous uporabljamo za opisovanje dogodkov, ki so trajali dalj časa. V eni povedi sta lahko oba časa (simple in continuous). Do tega pride takrat, ko nek dogodek traja dalj časa (uporabimo past continuous), vmes, ko to dogajanje še traja, pa ga zmoti neko zaključeno krajše dejanje (uporabimo past simple).
