In this unit we discuss about the past tenses in English grammar. Which are the past simple, past continuous, past perfect and past perfect continuous.
Past simple
It is used for actions completed at a definite time in the past. It is therefore used for a past action when the time is given, when the time is asked about, and when the action clearly took place at a definite time even though the time is not mentioned.
Past continuous
It is used for interrupted past actions, to indicate gradual development that took place in the past, for expressing an action which began before that time and probably continued after it, and for descriptions. The past continuous almost always requires some form of time reference.
Past perfect
It is an action that occurred before other actions in the past. It can be said that the past perfect is the “past in the past” or the past viewed from another past viewpoint.
Past perfect continuous
It is used to talk about longer actions or situations in the past that had been going on continuously up to the past moment that we are thinking about.
