Title: Anécdotas, incidentes y noticias

Q: Simple tenses
A: The simple tenses are used for actions that occurred at a specific time either in the present, past or future, but they do not state whether the action is finished. They are present (simple), past (simple) and future (simple).

Q: Progressive  or continuous tenses
A: The progressive tenses are used to indicate an unfinished action.

In this unit we will review the activities taking place at a certain time in the past:

1. The past progressive puts emphasis on the course of an action in the past.

2. The simple past, sometimes called the preterite, is used to talk about a completed action in a time before now.
