The instant messaging. are a new way to communicate, many young people are using the instant messaging for talk. Why?, because it's more cheaper, you can send and receive text messaging from anywhere, you do not need talk for answer and it is more discreet.  The disadvantages of instant messaging, is that you can't listen to people, encourages bad punctuation and spelling and has a limited size for write.
In my opinions, the instant messaging is very useful and cheaper for communicate.

Pasado Simple - (Simple Past Tense)

El Pasado Simple es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para describir acciones que han sucedido en un tiempo anterior y que ya han finalizado.

Aquí vemos su conjugación que en el español equivale al Pretérito Indefinido. Observa que la estructura de la oración es similar a la del Presente Simple:

Tanto en la forma interrogativa como en negativa se utiliza como auxiliar DID que es la forma pasada del verbo "TO DO" y acompaña al verbo principal en su forma infinitiva. En las negaciones puede utilizarse la forma contraída de DID NOT o sea DIDN'T. En el cuadro superior se emplea el verbo To Play (Jugar) a modo de ejemplo.

 

 Al expresar una oración en Pasado Simple se entiende que la acción no guarda relación con el presente.

  

También es posible indicar el momento en que se desarrolla la acción para indicar el tiempo con mayor precisión:

  

They saw the movie last night. Ellos vieron la película anoche.
We went to London yesterday. Nosotros fuimos a Londres ayer.

  

Para poder formar una oración en tiempo pasado debemos distinguir dos tipos: VERBOS REGULARES y VERBOS IRREGULARES.

  

En el primero de los casos forman su Pasado Simple añadiendo la terminación ED al infinitivo, mientras que los irregulares reciben ese nombre por no seguir un patrón determinado y en este caso deben estudiarse individualmente.

 

Ejemplos:

1.She travelled by train to London.

2.She cut the lettuce with a knife.

3.The film was boring.

4.The president spoke very slow during the conference.
5.Sarah sang perfectly in the concert.
6.Peter decided to paint the house blue. 

7.My mother had her birthday party last night.

8.The lawyer tried to convince the jury.

9.My dog bit Ann in her leg. 
10.I met John at the old restaurant last week.

 

Pasado Continuo - (Past Continuous)

El Pasado Continuo, es un tiempo verbal que describe acciones que estaban siendo realizadas en un momento del pasado al que se hace referencia y que luego continuaron.

 

El Pasado Continuo se construye con el verbo auxiliar "to be" en su forma pasada y el verbo principal en infinitivo con la terminación ING:

 

 

Observa que la forma negativa se construye colocando la partícula NOT después del verbo TO BE. Puede usarse también la forma contraída WASN'T o WEREN'T.

 

Ejemplos:
 

1. I was reading a magazine when it started to rain.
2. Some friends arrived while we were watching television.
3. He was cooking dinner when he received a text message from his girlfriend.
4. They were playing football when the storm began.
5. What were you doing at 3 pm yesterday?
6. Were you studying when I rang you last night?
7. He couldn´t sleep because the baby was crying.
8. She arrived as the train was leaving the station.
