1. Past simple vs. past continuous.
Read a news story about a tourist who got lost. When you are finished, close the text window.
Without looking at the text, decide which sentence about the tourist
is better.
We use the past continuous to talk about actions in progress at a moment in the past.
It is often used in narratives to describe scenes in the past.
It is also used to describe an action or situation which was in progress when another event interrupted it.
