Language reference: past tense forms.

Past simple:

The past simple is used to fix events and situations in the past. You can use it to say when the

event or situation happened.

The last time I lost my keys was two weeks ago. They fell out of my pocket on the sofa. I didn

't realize so I looked everywhere. My son found them this morning.

Note: Many verbs have irregular past forms and you have to learn them.

Past continuous:

The past continuous is usually used in contrast with the past simple. You can use it to describe

something which was in progress when the main events in the story happened.
