Exercises to understand when to use Past Simple- Past Continuous- Past Perfect : 

A quick reminder

• Past simple
  • Describes the main events of the story
  • Describes sequences of events
  • It is the 'standard' narrative tense. If in doubt, go for past simple.
• Past continuous  =ABA / IA IN SPANISH
  • Describes unfinished actions, especially around a certain time
  • Describes longer actions interrupted by shorter ones
• Past perfect  ( SUPER PAST)
  • Describes actions which took place before the main actions in the story

The exam will be easier.
