Hello sweetie, how is this Monday treating you? I hope it\u2019s going\u00a0swimmingly<\/a>!\u00a0I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the reactions I got from last week\u2019s newsletter. So many of you emailed me personally and really touched me with your comments. Remember, if you don\u2019t get a chance to use English actively, send me an email and I will mail you back! I\u2019m really happy to hear from all of you. Sharing is caring, and when it comes to English, use it or lose it!<\/p>\n

FREE MASTERCLASS\u00a0<\/strong>
\nLast week I was having a great phone conversation with someone who spoke English with ease and eloquence. He asked me to send him a signed copy of Rock Your English!, and when I asked him to spell his address, he\u2026couldn\u2019t. He said \u201cF\u2026r\u2026.i\u2026oh wait\u2026e\u2026.oh\u2026maybe a\u2026..wait\u2026.um\u2026.\u201d. He was\u00a0so embarrassed<\/em>! Do you want to be known as \u201cThe Great Guy Who Does Not Know Where He Lives?\u201d I don\u2019t think so. I so want you to spell (and do everything else) with ease and confidence in English. That\u2019s why I made you this special\u00a0free Masterclass on English Pronunciation<\/strong>.\u00a0 You\u2019ll learn all the\u00a0difficult words, the most common mistakes people make, and how to use the alphabet correctly<\/strong>. All my tips and tricks, for free!\u00a0Get yours here<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your questions \u2013 answered!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHey, Buffi, thanks for your great newsletter! I was wondering if you could tell me the difference between \u2018I was working\u2019 and \u2018I worked\u2019? Is there even a difference?? Thanks!<\/em>\u201d \u2013 G, via email.<\/p>\n

Thanks so much for asking, sweet G! Yes, there is a difference. \u201cI worked<\/em>\u201d (the Past Simple tense) is used for situations that are finished or completed. It\u2019s often used with time words that show us that the situation is over \u2013 for example \u201cyesterday\u201d, \u201clast week\u201d or \u201cin March\u201d. However, \u201cI was working<\/em>\u201d (the Past Continuous or Past Progressive tense) is used for something that you were\u00a0in the middle of doing<\/em>\u00a0during a specific moment in the past.\u00a0 For example, \u201cI was working so hard on my English homework that I didn\u2019t hear the phone ring when you called!\u201d, or \u201cI was working in the garden when the doorbell rang.\u201d In both of these situations, you were in\u00a0the middle of doing something\u00a0<\/em>when something else stopped you or interrupted you. You were not finished with your activity. I hope this clears it up for you \u2013 now try to put both forms into a sentence of your own! Mail it to me and I\u2019ll mail you back!<\/p>\n

Thanks so much for letting me slip into your mailbox today. If you do one thing this week in English, download my\u00a0free Masterclass<\/strong><\/a>. And then get out there and tell everyone where you live!<\/p>\n

Wit lof from your English coach,<\/p>\n
