ENGLISH VII: Narrative tenses

Hi there:

This is the last topic of this partial. The narrative tenses are used to talk about events in the past and there are basically four of them:

  • Simple Past: it is used to talk about past events in chronological order.
  • Past Continuous: it is used to talk about events that were in progress at a certain point in time.
  • Past Perfect: it is used to talk about events that happened way back in the past (before another event or a definite moment in the past).
  • Past Perfect Continuous: it is used to talk about actions that were in progress in the past, for a certain period of time.
An example of these tenses is this one: 

We had a wonderful time. The sun was shining and everything was great. The kids had packed some food, and they ate it during the trip. We had been collecting plants and rocks all afternoon and were very tired, so we decided to set up the tent and spend the night there. It was such a nice place!

To practice with these concepts, please work with the following pages:
