    SIMPLE PAST VS. PAST
    PROGRESSIVE
    We use the Past Simple to talk about a completed action in the past. We use the
    Past Progressive to talk about an action that continued over a period of time in
    the past.
     
    We can also use the Past Simple and the Past Progressive together in the same
    sentence, to show that one short action or event happened during a longer
    action or event. If we mention the shorter action first, we usually join the two
    parts of the sentence together with WHILE.
     
    EXAMPLES:
    "Tom arrived while we were talking about him."
    "She came in while I was doing my homework."
     
    If we mention the longer action first, we usually join the two parts of the
    sentence together with WHEN.
     
    EXAMPLES:
    "We were talking about Tom when he arrived."
    "I was doing my homework when she came in."
    MAKING POLITE REQUESTS
    Asking to do things – asking for permission
    There are many different ways of making polite requests in English. If you don't want to
    sound rude when speaking English, then you need to know how to make a request in a
    polite way. Requests in English are usually made in the form of questions.

    Asking others to do things – making requests Use 'Would you mind if


    I...? Could I possibly...?
    Could you possibly...?
    Do you think you
    could...? to sound more
    polite.
    Remember that 'Do you
    mind...?' and 'Would
    you mind...?' mean 'Is it
    a problem for you?' so
    the polite answer when
    we 'say yes' is 'No'.
