Key Concepts & Content
Simple past: talks about something that happened before. It happened and it
finished. Some words are regular and just have -ed added at the end
like walked, helped, andplayed. Others are irregular and have many
variations like ate, began, and slept.
[VERB+ed] or irregular verbs

Did you call Debbie?
I saw a movie yesterday.
I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim.
Past Progressive: talks about something that was happening before, but for
a period of time. It uses was or were + verb-ing like was eating or were
playing. It gives a background for something that was happening while a
different event happened.
was/were + present participle

You were studying when she called.
What were you doing when the earthquake started?
Sammy was waiting for us when we got off the plane.
Simple Past vs Past Progressive
So, during the time I was eating (let's say from 6:30-7:00 p.m.) somebody
called my house (let's say they called at 6:49p.m.) One thing happened
(simple past) during the period of time another thing was happening (past
progressive.)
I dreamed in English when I was sleeping.
She was listening to the radio when the mail came.
They visited Sydney when they were traveling in Australia.
Past perfect: to talk about something that happened before another action in
the past, which is usually expressed by past simple.
[had + past participle]

Had Susan ever studied Thai before she moved to Thailand?
Tony knew Istanbul so well because he had visited the city several times.
