Граматичні часи Simple Past та Past Progressive є важливими для вивчення англійської граматики. Використання цих часів дозволяє нам точно описувати дії, які відбулися в минулому. Simple Past використовується для опису завершених дій або подій, що мали місце у конкретний, чітко визначений момент минулого. Натомість, Past Progressive відображає тривалість дії або подію, що проходила в певний час у минулому, часто в момент, коли відбувалася інша дія.
Ці вправи на англійську граматику допоможуть учням краще розуміти різницю між Simple Past та Past Progressive часами. Вони також розвинуть навики вживання цих часів у різних контекстах. Уважно прочитайте кожне речення та виберіть правильну форму дієслова для заповнення пропусків. Не забудьте звертати увагу на слова-підказки, які допоможуть вам визначити потрібну граматичну форму.
