🌙 Buổi tối (40-60 phút) — Grammar: Past Simple vs Past Continuous

📖 Khi nào dùng Past Simple, khi nào dùng Past Continuous?

ThìDùng khiVí dụ
Past SimpleHành động ngắn, xong rồiI opened the door.
Past ContinuousHành động đang diễn ra (bối cảnh)I was reading a book.

🔑 Kết hợp 2 thì — Quy tắc vàng!

Khi 2 hành động xảy ra cùng lúc trong quá khứ:

Tình huốngCấu trúcVí dụ
Hành động dài bị ngắt bởi hành động ngắnwas/were + V-ingwhenV2/V-edI was watching TV when my phone rang.
Hành động ngắn xảy ra trong khi hành động dàiV2/V-edwhilewas/were + V-ingMy phone rang while I was watching TV.
2 hành động dài cùng lúcwas/were + V-ingwhilewas/were + V-ingI was cooking while she was cleaning.

🧠 Mẹo nhớ:

  • WHEN + Past Simple (hành động ngắn)
  • WHILE + Past Continuous (hành động dài)
  • Nghĩ như phim: Past Continuous là cảnh nền, Past Simple là sự kiện chính!

Ví dụ minh họa dễ hiểu

Hãy tưởng tượng một bộ phim:

🎬 The children were playing in the garden. ← Cảnh nền (đang diễn ra)

Suddenly, it started to rain. ← Sự kiện xảy ra (ngắt)

→ The children were playing in the garden when it started to rain.
