Grammar revision 

T: Watch the presentation on Past Simple /Past Continuous Tenses. The main rules:

remember- the past simple talks about something that happened before. It happened and it finished. Some words are regular and just have -ed added at the end like walked, helped, andplayed. Others are irregular and have many variations like ate, began, and slept.

The past continuous talks about something that was happening before, but for a period of time. It uses was or were + verb-ing like was eating or were playing. It gives a background for something that was happening while a different event happened.

Example: While I was eating, the telephone rang.
