📝 Trucos para el diferenciar pasado simple y continuo
1. Identifica las palabras clave: El pasado simple se caracteriza por el uso de palabras como «did» y verbos en su forma base, mientras que el pasado continuo utiliza «was» o «were» seguido de un verbo en gerundio (-ing). Identificar estas palabras clave te ayudará a diferenciar entre ambos tiempos verbales.
2. Observa la duración de la acción: El pasado simple se usa para acciones puntuales que ocurrieron en un momento específico en el pasado. Por ejemplo: «I studied yesterday» (Estudié ayer). En cambio, el pasado continuo se utiliza para acciones en progreso que ocurrieron en un período de tiempo determinado. Por ejemplo: «I was studying all afternoon» (Estuve estudiando toda la tarde).
3. Presta atención al contexto: Cuando leas o escuches una oración en pasado, analiza el contexto para determinar si la acción se refiere a un evento específico o a una acción en progreso en el pasado. La comprensión del contexto te ayudará a identificar si se utiliza el pasado simple o continuo correctamente.
