*Si el verbo es monosílabo y acaba en consonante+ vocal + consonante, duplicamos la

última consonante. Ej: STOP / STOPPED

*Si el verbo acaba en “Y” precedida de consonante, cambiamos esa “Y” por “I”, luego

CONTRASTE PAST SIMPLE/PAST CONTINUOUS

*El past simple indica acciones que ocurrieron en momentos concretos del pasado, a veces
esto viene indicado por “yesterday, last year, last week,...”. Si en la frase aparece la palabra
WHEN (cuandp), detrás va past simple.

“We went to the cinema yesterday”

*El past continuous indica una accion que estaba ocurriendo en el pasado, tiene una cierta
duración. Si en la frase aparece la palabra WHILE (mientras), detrás va past continuous.
“I was walking on the beach…..”

*Cuando están los dos en la misma frase, suele ser porque la acción del past simple
interrumpe la acción del past continuous.

“When I was walking on the beach, I met John”

*También encontraréis dos tipos más de frases con varios verbos en pasado:
-Varios past simple:

“Yesterday evening I did my homework, had a shower and went to bed”

En este caso, todos los verbos son past simple porque son acciones que ocurrieron en un
momento ya pasado y ninguna interrumpió a la otra. Ocurrieron de manera consecutiva, una
detrás de la otra.

-Varios past continuous:

“While my dad was watching TV, my mum was reading a novel”

En este caso, los dos verbos están en past continuous porque son acciones simultáneas, que
ocurren a la vez, pero no se interrumpen entre ellas.

Choose the correct words.

1 He saw / was seeing me while I ran / was running to school.

2 They travelled / were travelling across Australia when they met / were meeting Sue.
