Hi,

What is difference between ;

- I was clicking.
- I clicked.

And when should I use each one.

Without more context, neither of them makes much sense.

I might come back to this question later. I'd be able to find it more easily if the title had been I was clicking​, so I probably won't bother.

***** NOT A TEACHER *****

Good morning, SecurityLenux:

(1) "To click" means many things.

(a) Sometimes it means that you become very comfortable with someone/something.

(2) Tom was lonely. He wanted a girlfriend. So one day he went to a coffeehouse. (Of course, he did not go to a bar!)

He met Mona. They clicked immediately (they liked each other very quickly). Tomorrow Tom and Mona have a date to see a

movie and then have dinner. He promises to take her home by 9 p.m. Mona is a good girl, and Tom is a gentleman.

(3) Tom went to a coffeehouse because he was lonely. He met Mona. They started talking and laughing. Tom was really

clicking with her (making a good impression on her) when SUDDENLY a big guy came to their table and said, "Hey, dude,

Mona is my girlfriend!" Tom left the coffeehouse.
