In Unit 6, I learned about the different past tenses. This included past simple, past continuous, past perfect and past perfect continuous. For past simple, students have to add -ed or -d to the base form of the verb, but there are an abundance of verbs that have an irregular simple past form. With these, students have to memorize and familiarize themselves, with the corresponding past simple, as there are no rules on how they were originally formed. This form is used for actions completed in the past. For past continuous, students have to use was/were and add -ing to the verb. It is used to express an action in progress at a past time. The action, thus, always requires some sort of time reference, implying that the action happened around a time and not just up to that time. For past perfect, students have to use the term 'had' and add the past participle to represent actions that occur before other actions in the past. For past perfect continuous, students use the words 'had been' before the verb + -ing to talk about longer actions/situations in the past that had been going on continuously up until the past moment that we were thinking about.
