In the lesson, we'll talk about the types of situations that commonly lead to verb tense errors so that you can be extra careful about avoiding them. We will learn about Past simple and Past continuous tense. We will learn about the correct usage of these two types of Past tense and establish their use and importance while writing or communicating in the English Language about past events and situations. We will also discuss common verb tense mistakes and the importance of to keep your verbs consistent.
Past Simple Tense
Subject + Past(V2) + Object
For example, the sentence:
Yesterday, Rishabh walked to school.
(This sentence tells us that Rishabh walked to school yesterday. The action is completed, and hence simple past tense is used.)
Past Continuous Tense.
Subject + was/were + Present participle (-ing) form
For example-Just as I was leaving for work, my friend came to meet me.
