De forskellige former for datid på engelsk
På engelsk findes der 2 former for datid:
- Past Simple: Last year, I went to China
- Past Continuous: I was writing when my phone rang
⚠️ I virkeligheden findes der også Present Perfect og Past Perfect, som kan betragtes som datidsformer, men vi har et separat kursus dedikeret til disse former.
