past (single or

actions in the past

 
Talking about the structure, it will be:

PAST SIMPLE PAST CONTINUOUS


regular verbs: in៯�nitive + -ed (was or were) + in៯�nitive + -ing
irregular verbs: 2nd column of the table  
of the irregular verbs

park for a long time.

They walked around the city. grandmother.

 
Both tenses are often used in one sentence:
While we were sitting at the breakfast table, the telephone rang.
We were sitting at the breakfast table when the telephone rang.
Past Progressive → we were sitting at the table
Simple Past → the telephone rang.
