Answer 2

Olá, boa tarde! Tudo bem?

a) The mother was reading her children a bedtime story at 9:00 o'clock last night.

b) The girls were playing in the garden because it was very hot inside.

c) The students were doing their homework before the teacher arrived.

d) I was making dinner when my cell phone rang.

Explicação:

O past continuos consiste em uma ação contínua que ocorreu no passado. Para formar frases no past continuous usamos o sujeito + verbo “to be” no passado (was/were) + o verbo principal no gerúndio (ing) + o complemento da frase.

Para sabermos quando usar was ou were, basta decorar que:

I/he/she/it - was

you/we/they - were

E prontinho!
