The video then moves on to the past simple, past continuous, past perfect, and past perfect continuous tenses. It explains their uses, such as finished past actions, actions ongoing at a specific past moment, actions before another past action, and actions continuing up to a past point in time. Structures and examples are provided, with a note on the interchangeability of past perfect and past perfect continuous in some contexts.
