Mila : Oh then. I have so much free time. Hahaha
Tasya: Why don’t you say so? Forget about what I said. I will study with you guys.
Boby : Yeah we will study together then. In the Jack’s home
Boby : I wanna discuss about how to use simple past and past continuous tense. Do you know
about both of them? I’m stiil confused what teacher said before in the class.
Tasya : Hmmm.. me too
Mila : Oh okay i will explain about it. Because I have ever learned it in my course. Simple past
tense and past continuous tense are tenses that tell a event in the past. But there are a
different about both of them. So we use simple past tense to talk about an event that
finished at the point in the past. For Example : She got up, went to the zoo, had breakfast.
You can add the adverb of time like yesterday, last night etc. But for Past continuous
Tense, we use to talk about an event that was in progress at a ime in the past or when
another event happened (simple past tense). For example: She was having breakfast when
her friend arrived. While, he was walking to school, it started to rain. I am helping my
mother. We must understand that there are two activities happen in the past. Both was
happening at a certain period of time in the past.
Tasya: So what’s the pattern of simple past tense and past continuous tense?
Jesika : I know, the pattern of simple past tense is S+ V2 (did/didn’t) + O. And for the pattern of
past continuous tense is S+was/were+Ving+O.
Boby : Oh... Oke I have know it now.
Mila : Okay so the clonclusion is simple past tense used to talk event in the past and not use the
spesific time without any additional hours, time etc. While past continuos tense tells
something more specific. We explain the process or what progress is happening in the past.
I hope you understand.
Boby : Okay Thanks Olivia, Selena
Tasya: Thanks all
Mila dan Selena: Okay urwell
