Use the Simple Past Tense to express that an action started and finished in the past.

• Yesterday Fred worked in the garden.

• I wrote a test last week.

See: Regular and irregular verbs

5. The past progressive (continuous) tense

This tense is used when one action was continuing when another action started–both actions took place in the past. Use was or were and the present participle to form this tense. (Examples of present participles: play — playing, do — doing)

• Tim was playing rugby when Leo phoned.

• What was Ian doing when I called him?
