It provides examples of when each tense is used: - Past simple is used to talk about actions that happened at a definite time in the past or actions that happened immediately one after another. - Past continuous is used to talk about actions that were in progress at a stated time in the past, actions that were happening simultaneously, or ongoing actions that were interrupted by other actions. The document then provides exercises for filling in blanks with the correct past simple or past continuous form of verbs.
