    HELP GUIDE_
    We use the ​past simple​​ for completed actions or repeated actions.
    We use the ​past continuous ​to talk about an action in progress in the past.

    En general, usamos el past simple directamente después de “​when​​” y el past continuous


    después de “​while​​” y ​‘as’​​.

    (get) louder and faster. Someone ………… (chase) her!

    As she ……..…… (run), she ………… (see) a cemetery. She quickly ………… (run) into the
