Lesson 5: Graduation party reviews

"Past Continuous Tense"

ملحوظة !!! يمكن أن يأتي هذين الزمنين معا في جملة واحدة حدثين معاً في نفس الوقت لإخبارنا بأن حدث وقع في وسط حدث آخر فيكون الحدث الطويل في زمن الماضي المستمر والحدث القصير في زمن الماضي البسيط.

عادة نستخدم مع هذا الموضوع أدوات الربط (when/while) ولكل واحدة استخدام:

• when: تأتي مع الحدث القصير.
• while: تأتي مع الحدث الطويل.
