📝 Tips para entender el pasado simple y pasado continuo

1. Recuerda que el pasado simple se utiliza para acciones completadas en el pasado, por lo que generalmente se usa con palabras como «yesterday», «last night», «last year», etc.

2. Para formar el pasado simple de los verbos regulares, simplemente añade «-ed» al final del verbo. Por ejemplo: «play» se convierte en «played».

3. Recuerda que algunos verbos irregulares tienen formas diferentes en pasado simple, como «go» que se convierte en «went» en pasado simple.

4. Para formar el pasado continuo, utiliza el verbo «to be» en pasado («was» o «were») seguido de «verb-ing». Por ejemplo: «I was watching TV» (Yo estaba viendo la televisión).

5. Utiliza el pasado continuo para describir una acción en progreso en el pasado, a menudo se usa con palabras como «when», «while», «as», etc. Por ejemplo: «He was studying when the phone rang» (Él estaba estudiando cuando sonó el teléfono).
