What We Learn from the Usage of Past Tenses?

★ How to Describe Past Events

We use past tenses to talk about completed actions, ongoing events, or sequences of events in the past

★ Understanding Time Relationships

Past tenses help us show the order of past events (e.g., which action happened first).

Example: She had finished (Past Perfect) dinner before he arrived (Past Simple).

★ Using the Right Tense for Different Situations

Past Simple → Completed actions (I visited Spain last year).

Past Continuous → Ongoing actions (They were playing when it rained).

Past Perfect Continuous → Duration of an action before another event (He had been studying for hours).

★ Building Stronger Storytelling Skills

    • Knowing past tenses allows us to tell stories, describe experiences, and explain past situations clearly.

💡 By learning past tenses, we improve our ability to communicate past events effectively!
