Past Simple

We use the past tense to talk about something that happened once in the past: e.g.

The past continuous is used for a continuous action in the past. It is formed from the past tense of the verb be, together with the -ing form of a verb for example:

• I was working hard when the telephone interrupted me.
• Everyone was shouting.
• They were always arguing.

Past Perfect

The past perfect is used to talk about an event that was completed in the past before something else happened:

• I didn't want to watch the film, as I had already seen it.
