Explicación:
Antes de nada hay que tener una noción de dichos tiempos verbales.
El pasado simple se usa para acciones acabadas.
Ej: I ate
Traducción : Yo comí
Generalmente suelen usarse con partículas de tiempo pasadas, es decir, yesterday (ayer), in 1656 (una fecha pasada), etc.
El pasado continuo se usa para acciones que se llevaron a cabo en el pasado pero no se llegaron a terminar.
Ej: I was eating
Traducción (son tres)
- Yo estaba comiendo
- Yo estaba comiendo Yo estuve comiendo
- Yo estaba comiendo Yo estuve comiendo Yo comía
Una vez, sepamos esto, ¿Cómo sabemos cuál debemos usar?
Pues es muy sencillo,hay que tener en cuenta esto.
- Si aparece when indica que hay que usar Pasado simple
- Si aparece while nos da a entender que hay que emplear un Pasado continuo.
