Hello students!
In Unit 3, we will be focusing on crime and punishment. Quite a topic, huh? The first lesson is titled "Rough Justice" and what it deals with can be seen in this short animation I've made for you.
Past Simple Tense is used:
to describe finished actions;
to tell the main events in the story in order;
Study this example: I ran forward and pushed through the crowd.
to describe things which were in progress at a specific time in the past: It was 10 o'clock. I was jogging.
for temporary actions / habits: I was staying in Ohio.
for longer actions interrupted by shorter ones: I was running when I saw some people.
to talk about an action that happened before another action in the past: They were doing it because they had stolen a statue.
