Explicații:

Majoritatea verbelor sunt la Past Tense Simple și arată acțiuni petrecute în trecut, încheiate complet la momentul vorbirii. Raportul este de simultaneitate.

• „While she was working there she decided to go to evening classes to get a qualification in business studies.” - folosirea timpului Past Tense Continuous (was working) arată o acțiune începută și încheiată în trecut, dar cu o perioadă de desfășurare aflată în progres.
• De regulă, Past Tense Continuous se traduce în română prin imperfect.

• „After she had done that job for some years she wanted a change.„ - folosirea timpului Past Perfect Simple se datorează raportului de posterioritate între prima și a doua propoziție.
• Past Perfect Simple se traduce în limba română prin mai mult ca perfect.
