Gapda ikki va undan ortiq ish-harakatlar ishtirok etadi. O’tgan zamonda ish-harakatlar bir vaqtda sodir bo’ladi. The Past Simple tense gapdagi asosiy, markaziy ish-harakat hisoblanadi, the Past Continuous tense esa ayni o’sha vaqtda bo’layotgan holatni, vaziyatni, ko’rinishni tasvirlash uchun ishlatiladi. Bu holatda the Past Continuous tense ish-harakati sodir bo’layotganda, the Past Simple tense ish-harakati qisqa muddatda bir sodir bo’lib o’tadi.
