Feedback

1. Bili su u kupovini (radnja je trajala) → past continuous 2. Kupili su DVD-jeve (konkretna radnja u tom trenutku) → past simple

1. I was walking home -> Past Continuous Koristi se da opiše radnju koja je bila u toku u nekom trenutku u prošlosti. - hodao/la si kući – radnja je trajala. 2. when it started to rain -> Past Simple Koristi se da opiše kratku, iznenadnu radnju koja se desila dok je neka druga radnja trajala. - počela je kiša – nova, iznenadna radnja.

1. Igrali su fudbal → radnja je trajala → past continuous 2. Trener je stigao → nova radnja → past simple

1. Šta si radio/la (radnja je trajala) → past continuous 2. Ja sam te pozvao/la (nova radnja) → past simple

1. Ona nije slušala (radnja je trajala) → Past Continuous 2. Nastavnik je postavio pitanje → Past Simple

Past Simple se koristi kada pričamo o dve radnje u prošlosti koje su se desile jedna za drugom ili u istom vremenskom periodu, bez naglaska na trajanje neke radnje. Razlika između: Past Continuous + Past Simple: "Who did you meet when you were going to the concert?" — naglašava da si bio/la u pokretu, radnja je trajala (i tokom tog kretanja sreo/la nekoga). Past Simple + Past Simple: "Who did you meet when you went to the concert?" — opisuje dve prošle radnje koje su se dogodile, jedna za drugom.

1. Plivali su u reci → radnja je trajala → Past Continuous 2. Počela je kiša → nova radnja → Past Simple

1. was painting → Past Continuous Ona je slikala – radnja koja je bila u toku u prošlosti. 2. rang → Past Simple Telefon je zazvonio – iznenadna radnja koja se dogodila dok je ona slikala.

Oba glagola su u past continuous jer opisujemo dve radnje koje su se odvijale istovremeno u prošlosti. Reč WHILE često ide sa past continuous u obe reči kada želimo naglasiti trajanje obe radnje u istom periodu.

1. were having → Past continuous — radnja koja je bila u toku (jela se večera). while (dok) - obično uvodi radnju koja je trajala u prošlosti 2. went out → Past simple — kratka, iznenadna radnja (isključila su se svetla).
