How to Tell a Story in English: 3 Past Tenses for Storytelling
from The Speak Confident English Podcast · host Annemarie — Speak Confident English
You know what happened. You remember every detail. But when you tell a story in English, it can be hard to show when each thing happened. In this lesson, you'll learn how to use 3 past tenses to tell one clear story. The past simple tells your listener what happened next. The past continuous shows what was happening when something else happened. And the past perfect explains what had happened earlier, like the phone you forgot to charge the night before. At the end, you'll practice with a short story from your own life, in just 4 to 6 sentences.
