Past Simple vs Past Continuous

This grammar based lesson looks at the difference between past simple and past continuous, and how the two tenses are often used side by side. The lesson starts with a grammar explanation, and then moves on to gap fill exercises. Next the students read four true stories about “close encounters” with animals in which the students must choose between past simple and past continuous. Finally the students must construct a story of their own using past simple and past continuous.
