The document discusses the past simple and past continuous tenses in English. The past simple is used to describe actions that started and finished in the past, and takes the form of regular past verbs or didn't + verb. The past continuous describes actions that were in progress at a specific moment in the past, taking the form of was/were + verb+ing. Examples are provided to illustrate using both tenses together to describe simultaneous or interrupted past actions.
