verb+した and verb+していた , 動詞(どうし)の勉強(べんきょう), Study of verb
These are notes from my session with Sato sensei
http://www.italki.com/teacher/T011125568.htm
This is what I learned:
動詞(どうし)の勉強(べんきょう) , Study of verb
勉強した ---> studied 勉強していた ---> I was studying
寝る(ねる)---> sleep ✓ Do you know how to say you are sleeping?
寝た(ねた)--->slept ✓ Do you know how to say you were sleeping?
昨日(きのう)は、早く(はやく)寝た(ねた)---> I slept early yesterday. ✓
ねていた ---> was sleeping
昨日(きのう)の夜(よる)は、寝ていた(ねていた)--->Last night, I was sleeping
昨日(きのう)の夜(よる)は、雨(あめ)が降っていた(ふっていた) ---> Last night, it was raining
Well Done!
We use "V+してた", but it is a very colloquial expression. It should not be used in any formal situation (both in written and spoken). I recommend you to remember the formal way "V+していた" at the moment(*^^*)
