Question

2- Sublinhe o Simple Past e circule o Past Continuous em cada frase:
(0,5)
a) Kent was buying a new car when he felt dizzy.
b) Bruno was playing videogames while Lupe was sleeping.
c) Fernanda was driving while Renato was holding a map.
d) Tiago was drinking a beer when Celi called.
e) Pedro was playing the electric guitar while Nora was singing

Answer 1

Olá, boa noite.

a) was buying (past continuous) e felt (simple past).

b) was playing e was sleeping (ambos past continuous).

c) was driving e was holding (ambos past continuous).

d) was drinking (past continuous) e called (simple past).

e) was playing e was singing (ambos past continuous).

Perceba que o passado contínuo descreve as situações que aconteceram e continuaram por algum tempo, nos verbos "drinking" e "playing", e o passado simples descreve ações que aconteceram rapidamente, como "called" (ligou) e "felt" (sentiu).
