Past Simple / Past Continuous

Here you have a few exercises of Past Simple and Past Continuous if you want some extra practice.

I'm also adding the answers so you can check how well you did. Good luck!

2 ESO A/B Billingual and non bilingual

On Thursday I didn't have enough time to prepare all the activities for this week. 
I think you can all (bilingual and non bilingual ) do it, as being online you can repeat it as many times as you need.
I asked you to revise vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing. I am adding  a couple of grammar exercises  taken from the British Council website to practise Simple Past and Past continuous. 
 Task 1
Task 2

In the previous unit some of you had problems to ask questions, so you can also revise them with two tests 

Tests questions 

Finally let's focus on listening
You will also find two tasks. 
For those who find it difficult, you can display the transcript and read and listen
Oral comprehension


For fast students (for all, in fact, for those who are willing to fill their time with English) another optional activity. Listen to Rihanna's speech at Harvard. 
Can you write a short summary?

and even better, listen to Ellen's speech at Tullane University's graduation speech. 

"Some of the most devastating things that happen to you will teach you the most"

Thinking of you in the beginning of our lockdown.

Past continuous. 2 ESO

A song I have used with students before to make sure you understand the past continuous form.

LOSING IT BY NEVER SHOUTS NEVER

Revising the past. Help me complete the song  LOSING IT  BY NEVER SHOUTS NEVER

Can you guess if the verbs are in the simple  past or simple continuous?

After that you can listen to the song and check if you were right.

All we ever ……………   was move around  (do)
I …………. always the new kid ( to be)
Never the cool kid

All I ever …………… to do  (want)

Was to fall in love
Just to be in love

But, my heart ……………  (race)
My mind ……………    (scream)
"You've got your whole life to do these things"
But my legs ……………  (shake)
My hands …………… (search)
For her in the backseat of my car

I just ……………it     (lose)
And i can't believe it

I …………… I was only 16     (know)
But I ……………I loved her    (think)
And it'd last forever

Only if I ……………  (know)
That she wasn't true
How ……………  she do this to me? (can)

[Oohhh....]
