· Two things that happened in the past; one of them happened for a period of time (Past Continuous), the other happened during the period of time (Past Simple);

· Use while, when before the past continuous and when before the Past Simple.

· Something that happened at an unspecified time in the past and has a result now;

· Something that has happened very recently;

A: Here's a small example. For the last fifteen years, since my youngest granddaughter (leave) high school, students (wear) blue jeans and T-shirts to school. Even some women-teachers (wear) pants in the classroom recently. In my day, they (kick) you out of school when you not (dress) properly.

C: What you're saying is true. Even professors at the universities (deliver) lectures in blue jeans nowadays.

A: It also seems to me that young people (tend) to start dating at earlier. They start dating at thirteen, and as you know, many couples (live) together without being married. That (be) unthinkable in my day.

C: And what is the biggest change that you personally (experience)?

A: I suppose getting married was the biggest change.

C: How long ago you (get) married?

"I not (drop) cigarette ash in the salad, if that's what you (get) at," she answered. "I know you're not. I just hate the smoke, Mom. Please, put it out. If not for your health or mine, at least for your grandchildren's sake. You know what they (say) about second-hand smoke." "But the kids live in Manhattan. Think of all the polluted air they (breathe) in there." "Only too true, Mother," I (snap), "but let's not add to the problem of air pollution out here, shall we?"
