#Common_Mistakes

Using the past continuous for a habitual action, instead of the simple past tense.

Don't say : ❌Last year I was walking to school every day.
Say: ✅Last year I walked to school every day.

A habit in the past is expressed by the simple past tense, and not by the past continuous.

 The past continuous tense is used to describe events in the past continuing at the time another action took place as, "I was walking to school when I met him."
