Simple Past Vs Past progressive
Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2012 3:35 pm
Could you please tell me which Sentence is correct:
We spoke French before we have moved to England 18 years ago.
We were speaking French before we have moved to England 18 years ago.
I know that we have to use the present progressive when we are talking about a temporary state in the past.. but are 18 years still temporary?
Thx
