Grammar: simple past and past continuous/progressive
“We were going around a small island when we surprised an 18-foot-long crocodile.”
past continuous: “we were going” - this is the “background” action that was in progress at the time
simple past: “we surprised” - this is the sudden action that happened in the middle of the other one
---
I ate dinner at six. (simple past) = I started at six (and finished some time later).
I was eating dinner at six. (past continuous) = I started before six and finished after six.
I had eaten dinner at six. (past perfect) = I started and finished before six.
I ate dinner when you got home. = I started when you got home.
I was eating dinner when you got home. = I started before you got home and finished after.
When you got home, I was eating dinner.
I had eaten dinner when you got home. = I started and finished before you got home.
---
Other conjunctions that are common with simple past and past continuous:
while: While I was eating dinner, you got home. (“while” goes with something that continues for a while)
	You got home while I was eating dinner.
so: It was raining, so I took my umbrella. It was raining, so I got wet. (“so” cannot go at the beginning)
because: Because it was raining, I took my umbrella.
	I took my umbrella because it was raining.

p. 36 - Read the article “Return to the Titanic”.
part 1 - Which questions go with each paragraph of the article?
1 b
2 a
3 d
---
What’s the timeline of the events in the article?
1912 - people died
- the champagne box disappeared
1960s - US nuclear submarines disappeared
1985 - the Navy gave Ballard video equipment, Ballard agreed to look for the subs, Ballard found the Titanic, they realized it was Titanic, they celebrated, they held a memorial
- a salvage company removed items, James Cameron visited the ship, a couple got married at the bow
2004 - He saw champagne bottles, he saw shoes from a woman and a child
---
What tense is used for actions that happened before the two times Ballard visited the wreck?
- past perfect
He’s telling a story about his visits to the ship. Everything that happened before the story is past perfect.
---
If we tell a story in sequence and no actions happen in the middle of other actions, everything is simple past.
past continuous - When one action happened in the middle of another.
past perfect - When an action from before is told out of sequence.
---
p. 37 part 7 - Choose the correct option to complete each sentence.
1 had been
2 sank
3 was
4 had disappeared
5 hadn’t located
6 had visited
	(Words like “because”, “before”, and “after” already tell you the sequence, so it’s not necessary to use past perfect unless you’re telling a story about the later time.)
“By the time Robert Ballard discovered the Titanic, it had been at the bottom of the Atlantic for 73 years.”
(“by the time” is almost always accompanied by a perfect tense)
