Soluções para a tarefa
Boa tarde!
A estrutura do Past Progressive ou também conhecido como Past Continuous, é:
Afirmativa: sujeito + was/were + verbo em ing + complemento.
Negativa: sujeito + was not (wasn't)/were not (weren't) + verbo em ing + complemento.
Interrogativa: was/were + sujeito + verbo em ing + complemento.
A regrinha é a seguinte:
Was para I, he, she e it.
Were para You, we, they.
Lembrando que:
Wasn't é a abreviação de was not (negativa).
Weren't é a abreviação de were not (negativa).
Sabendo disso:
a) When I phoned my friends, they were playing Monopoly.
b) Yesterday at six, I was preparing dinner.
c) Mary was practicing the guitar when John came home.
d) We weren't (were not) cycling all day.
e) While Alan was working in his room, his friends were swimming in the pool.
f) I tried to tell them the truth, but they weren't (were not) listening.
g) What were you doing yesterday?
h) Most of the time, we were sitting in the park.
i) I was listening to the radio while my sister was watching TV.
j) We were studying English last night.
