Today’s topic is one I'm frequently asked about: Past Simple vs. Past Continuous in Business Communications.

We’re going to break it down so you can understand not just the grammar rules, but also the why—why we choose one tense over the other, and how that choice changes the way people hear your message in a business setting.

In professional communication, small details make a big difference. The tense you choose affects clarity, credibility, and how your message is understood.

Think about it: when you write an email, give a presentation, or share an update with your team, you’re not just sharing information. You’re also shaping how people perceive you—your reliability, professionalism, and leadership. That’s why using the right tense isn’t just about grammar; it’s also about strategy.
