 Past Simple situations

1. Actions finished at a stated time in the past

• We moved out of our house last year.

2. Actions are not connected with the present

• He saw Jennifer Lopez

3. Actions happened one after the other (chain)

• I had breakfast, put on my coat and left the house
 Past Continuous situations

• Interrupted action in the past

• Specific Time as an Interruption
• With "always" to express annoyance or criticism
• Parallel actions
• To illustrate the atmosphere
• To express politeness
 Past Perfect situations

• The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before
another action in the past. It can also show that something happened
before a specific time in the past.
• I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Kauai.

• With Non-Continuous Verbs and some non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs,

we use the Past Perfect to show that something started in the past and
continued up until another action in the past.
• We had had that car for ten years before it broke down.

• Unlike with the Present Perfect, it is possible to use specific time words or
phrases with the Past Perfect. Although this is possible, it is usually not
necessary.
• She had visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in
with them in 1996.
 Past Perfect Continuous
situations
• We use the Past Perfect Continuous to show that
something started in the past and continued up until
another time in the past.

• Using the Past Perfect Continuous before another action

in the past is a good way to show cause and effect.
