    PAST PROGRESSIVE GRAMMAR STRUCTURE
    We often use the past continuous and past simple tenses
    in the same sentence.

    We do this when we want to talk about


    a shorter activity that happened
    during a longer activity in the past.
    • We use the Past Simple and the Past progressive when one action interrupted another in the past. We

    use the Past Progressive for the longer action and the Past Simple for the shorter action : In this case we

    usually use WHILE, WHEN or AS.

    As/ While Tom was driving the road roller, his cellphone
    rang.

    When I was driving my car, a cat crossed in front of me


    Sam hurt himself yesterday.
    But when exactly?

    Sometimes we use the past continuous tense
    to talk about two or more actions
    which were taking place at the same time
    in the past.
