Las diferencias del pasado simple y pasado continuo
Ejercicios con el pasado simple y continuo
El pasado continuo (past continuous) expresa la duración de una acción pasada y no indica si está terminada, mientras que el
pasado simple (past simple) se refiere a una acción puntual que empezó y acabó en el pasado.
I worked last Saturday.
Trabajé el sábado pasado.
It was snowing at half past four yesterday.
Estaba nevando a las cuatro y media ayer (no había acabado).

Las diferencias del pasado simple y pasado continuo
1 El pasado simple describe acciones acabadas y el pasado continuo no especifica si la acciones finalizaron o no, sino que
enfatiza que estaban en desarrollo.
He travelled around the world.
Viajó por todo el mundo.
I was travelling around the world.
Estaba viajando por todo el mundo.
2 Para acciones simultáneas.
Si las acciones son consecutivas, los verbos irán en pasado simple.
As I saw her I left the room.
Cuando la ví dejé la habitación.
Cuando hay un pasado simple y uno continuo este último resalta la duración de la acción.
As I was watching tv the telephone rang.
Cuando estaba viendo la tele sonó el teléfono.
Si las dos acciones tienen lugar durante un mismo periodo de tiempo se usará el pasado continuo en las dos.
As I was having dinner, she was watching tv.
Cuando estaba cenando ella estaba viendo la tv.
3 Para hablar de acciones habituales se suele usar el pasado simple.
She visited her parents every day.
Sin embargo podemos usar el pasado continuo para enfatizar que la acción tuvo lugar temporalmente.
When I was ill he was visiting me twice a day.
Cuando estaba enfermo me visitaba dos veces al día (también es posible usar el pasado simple en las dos).
4 En narraciones o historias se usa el pasado continuo para describir o ambientar una acción.
He was walking quickly. He was not wearing his glasses. Suddenly he fell...
Estaba andando rápido. No llevaba sus gafas. De pronto se cayó...
The Prime Minister died while he was sitting at his desk.
El Primer Ministro murió mientras estaba sentado en su mesa.
5 Con los verbos de estado en pasado, siempre que no tengan un significado especial como ocurre en las diferencias
entre presente simple y continuo.
I loved him.
Le amaba (verbo estado pasado).
I was walking in the park.
Estaba dando un paseo por el parque (verbo acción voluntaria).
She was being silly.
Estaba siendo tonta (verbo estado temporal).
