Grammar: Past Tenses (Simple / Continuous / Perfect)

• Past Simple передає події, які трапилися в минулому, в хронологічному порядку:

Helen woke up and looked at the clock. It was half past eight so she knew she was late for work. She hurried out of the bedroom looking for her mobile to call when suddenly she realized it was Sunday.

• Past Continuous виражає тривалу дію або ситуацію в минулому:

They were having dinner when the phone rang.

She was wearing a lovely green dress. Her eyes were shining. Everybody was looking at her.

• Past Perfect виражає дію, яка трапилася до іншої дії в минулому. Мовець може змінювати порядок подій для підсилення ефекту розповіді:

Ann couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. She had had a terrible day. She had been late for work, she had lost her purse, and now she had burned the meal.

Past Perfect вживається, якщо важливо показати, що перша дія завершилася до початку наступної.

When they had saved enough money, they bought the house.
