Food: Fuel or Pleasure?: Present Simple (Actions in Progress)

1. Food can be seen as both fuel and pleasure. While eating is necessary for survival, overeating or eating unhealthy foods can lead to weight gain and health issues. 2.

we use past progressive for actions which were not complete at a past
time (longer action or situation).

(restul) were
ex: I was working
You were working
negativ wasnt + vb.(inf) + -ing ex: She wasnt working
werent We werent working
? interogativ was + S + vb.(inf) + -ing
were
ex: Why were you working
Was she working when you saw her?
- Yes, she was.
- No, she wasnt.

The difference when we use the past progressive and the simple past
together is that simple past action is a complete shorter action that
happened while the longer action was happening.
Ex: While I was cooking supper, Ellie phoned.

Progressive forms are used mostly for temporary actions and situations.
For longer, more permanent situations we prefer the simple past.
