The past simple or simple past
The dream describes walking along the beach with God, seeing scenes from the dreamer's life flash in the sky. In each scene, there were either one or two sets of footprints in the sand. During difficult times, there was only one set of footprints, which bothered the dreamer. God explained that those times represented when God carried the dreamer.

Henri Rousseau’s Short Biography Henri Rousseau was born on May 21, 1844, in Laval, France. While working as a toll collector in Paris, he taught himself to paint and exhibited his work almost annually from 1886 until the end of his life. He was given the nickname "Le Douanier" ("the customs officer") by his acquaintances in the Parisian avant-garde. Despite his connections with other artists and dealers, he never profited from his paintings; however, works like "The Dream," "The Sleeping Gypsy" and "Carnival Evening" influenced many artists who came after him. He died in Paris on September 2, 1910.2 1. When ___________________________________________________________? 2. Where __________________________________________________________? 3.

Picture practice: Past continuous & simple past usage Complete the sentences below using either the past progressive/continuous (was/were + verb + ing) or simple past (2nd part of the verb, usually "-ed" ending). Note: An action in the simple past often interrupts an action that continues (past progressive/continuous). We often write "as", "while", or "when" + past progressive.
