Past Simple: is a verb tense used to indicate a completed action in the past. It is usually formed by adding -ed to the base form of the verb. Past Continuous: is a verb tense used to indicate an ongoing action in the past. It is usually formed by adding was or were + verb + -ing to the base form of the verb. The difference between the past simple and continuous is that the past simple is used to refer to completed actions at a particular point in the past, while the past continuous is used to refer to ongoing actions at a particular point in the past.
