Pai la past simple actiunea este incheiata si de regula se traduce cu perfectul compus din romana:ex
1)We ate when my brother came-Am mancat cand a venit fratele meu.
2)I was at home when she called me-Eram acasa cand m-a sunat ea.
Past continuos-actiunea este in progres, in desfasurare.De regula, daca in romana pot traduce cu imperfectul.atunci in engleza este past continuous.ex:
1)We were eating when my brother-Mancam cand a venit fratele meu.
2)I was at home while she was calling me-Eram acasa in timp ce suna ea.(to be NU poate fi folosit la forma continua).
