II. GRAMMAR

Quá khứ đơn vs Quá khứ tiếp diễn

(Past Simple vs. Past Continuous)

Cách dùng:

Quá khứ đơn (Past Simple)Quá khứ tiếp diễn (Past Continuous)
Diễn tả hành động đã hoàn thành trong quá khứDiễn tả hành động đang xảy ra tại thời điểm cụ thể trong quá khứ
Diễn tả các sự kiện chính trong câu chuyệnDiễn tả bối cảnh của câu chuyện
Diễn tả chuỗi hành động xảy ra liên tiếp trong quá khứDiễn tả hai hành động cùng đang diễn ra trong quá khứ
 Diễn tả một hành động đang diễn ra thì hành động khác xen vào

Note: Thì quá khứ tiếp diễn thường được dùng để nhấn mạnh quá trình hoặc khoảng thời gian một hành động đang diễn ra trong quá khứ.

Ví dụ:

Quá khứ đơn (Past Simple)Quá khứ tiếp diễn (Past Continuous)
I read a good book last night.I was reading a book at 10 p.m. last night.
Mary read a few pages of her book and went to bed.It was raining. Mary read her book and went to bed.
He opened the door, walked in, and sat down.She was cooking while her brother was watching TV.

Cấu trúc:

Quá khứ đơn (Past Simple)Quá khứ tiếp diễn (Past Continuous)
(+) S + V2/ed + ...S + was/were + ...(+) S + was/were + V-ing + ...
(-) S + did not + VinfS + was/were + not + ...(-) S + was/were + not + V-ing
(?) Did + S + Vinf?Was/were + S + ...?(?) Was/Were + S + V-ing?

Exercise 7: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 10.

The Woman People Remember

In many personal accounts of success, people often focus on remarkable achievements, public admiration, or the moment when an ordinary person becomes a popular figure. Yet some lives inspire us in a quieter and deeper way. This is true of Lien, a woman who had a difficult childhood, lived through years of conflict, and later became widely admired not for fame, but for devotion to others. Those who knew her did not describe her as a visionary or a national hero. Instead, they remembered her as a respectable, well-educated woman who was determined to do her duty, no matter how hard life became.

Lien was born into a poor family in the countryside and had only limited access to formal education in her early years. While other children spent their childhood in greater comfort, she learned to work hard, take care of younger relatives, and value every chance to attend school. Her ambition was not driven by pride. She simply wanted to study medicine so that she could save lives. That goal seemed almost impossible at the time, yet she refused to give up on it. When she was finally given the chance to continue her studies, she must have been on top of the world. Her teachers admired her for her discipline, and their respect contributed to her growing determination to succeed.

During the resistance war, Lien volunteered to work in a field hospital, where conditions were harsh and resources were far from accessible. Day after day, she took care of wounded soldiers, assisted surgeons during operations, and sometimes stayed awake through the night to comfort patients in pain. There were moments when fear could easily have overcome her, but she remained calm and devoted to her work. She understood that medicine was not only about carrying out an operation successfully. It was also about preserving hope in people who had almost lost it. In that difficult environment, her quiet strength impressed everyone around her.

After the war, Lien did not seek admiration or celebrate her own contribution. Instead, she returned to civilian life and continued to serve poor patients in remote areas. She also took part in health education projects, gave presentations to young volunteers, and collaborated with local schools on community programs. Her work made medical knowledge more accessible to ordinary families, and many young people said that her story inspired them to study harder and contribute to society. Although she never became famous in the usual sense, she became the kind of person others deeply admired for both character and action.

What makes Lien’s story memorable is not a single dramatic achievement, but the way her whole life formed an inspiring character. She showed that success is not always measured by wealth, titles, or public celebration. Sometimes, the greatest achievement is to remain devoted in difficult times, to refuse to give up on others, and to turn personal hardship into a life of service. Long after her passing, people still speak of her with affection and admiration. Her story reminds us that the most powerful lives are often the ones built not on glory, but on determination, compassion, and the choice to keep helping others.
