Writing a Short Story
A good story needs a setting, actions, details, and flow. Let's review the grammar we need!
wallpaper 1. Setting the Scene
Use the Past Continuous to describe what was happening in the background.
(á្áើ Past Continuous áើá្áីáá៌áាáីááá្ááាááែááំáុááើááĄើáá្áុáá˘áីááាá។)
bolt 2. The Main Events
Use the Past Simple for the main actions that happened.
(á្áើ Past Simple áá្áាá់ááá្ááាáá
á្áááែááាááើááĄើá។)
palette 3. Adding Details
Use Adjectives to describe things. Use Adverbs to describe actions.
(á្áើáុááាá áើá្áីáá៌áាáីáá្áុ។ á្áើáុááិáិáា áើá្áីáá៌áាáីááá្ááាá។)

Don't mix up Past Simple and Past Continuous when they happen together.
