INTRODUCTION

The process of implementing new strategies and materials in English teaching that meets the expectations and needs of a specific population was our main concern when we started this journey of planning and developing a set of activities for our language learners . We really want to thank the coordinators and all language instructors at SENA for the insights and intellectual production that is included in this material. This was a cooperative process that aims to provide a minimum spectrum of activities that our apprentices can take advantage of to improve their English competences.

The best in this language journey,

The editors

9. Let’s analyze. Classify the words and expressions according to the following categories:

Asking and giving opinions

Actions in the past that were interrupted

Talking about plans

TRAIN YOUR BRAIN

We use the Past Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the past was interrupted. The interruption is usually a shorter action in the Simple Past.

When you use Past Continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses the idea that both actions were happening at the same time. The actions are parallel.

Subject Aux verb be in past

Main verb + ing

Complement

Affirmative She was walking by the riverside

Subject Aux. verb be in past + not

Negative He Was not(contracted form: wasn’t)

Dear Kelly

I am writing to tell you some details about my last vacation. I hope you to visit this great place on your next holidays.

One of my favorite vacation places is Mexico. I really liked the weather there because it never gets cold. The people were very nice too. The food was really good. Mexico City was a very interesting place to visit. It had some great museums and lots of fascinating old buildings. The hotels were too expensive to stay but there were more affordable options. For example, we stayed at one of the beach resorts in Acapulco. If you are planning to visit Mexico, you definitely have to see the Mayan temples near Merida.

Say hello to your family and friends.

Sincerely yours

Carlos.

d. According to the letter, does like this place? Why? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

TRAIN YOUR BRAIN

Simple past and past continuous

We often use the past continuous tense with the simple past tense. We use the past continuous tense to express a long action. And we use the simple past tense to express a short action that happens in the middle of the long action. We can join the two ideas with when or while.

In the following example, we have two actions:

Long action (cooking), expressed with past continuous tense

Short action (telephoned), expressed with simple past tense

PAST TENSE

I was cooking dinner When You called at 8pm.____________________ 8pm _________________

Long action Short action.

We can join these two actions with “when”:

I was cooking dinner when you called. We use:when + short action (simple past tense)while + long action (past continuous tense)
