Раскройте скобки,поставьте глагол в Past Continuois 1)When the phone rang,she (write) a letter 2)While...

Чтобы поставить глаголы в скобках в форму Past Continuous, необходимо использовать вспомогательный глагол "was" или "were" в зависимости от подлежащего и добавить к основному глаголу окончание "-ing". Формула для Past Continuous: "was/were + глагол с окончанием -ing".

1) When the phone rang, she was writing a letter.

• Здесь "she" требует вспомогательного глагола "was", и глагол "write" превращается в "writing".

2) While we were having a picnic, it started to rain.

• "We" требует формы "were", и "have" становится "having".

3) Sally was working when Joe had the car accident.

• "Sally" соответствует "was", и "work" изменяется на "working".

4) While John was sleeping last night, someone stole his car.

• "John" требует "was", и "sleep" становится "sleeping".

5) Last night at 6 p.m., I was eating dinner.

• "I" используется с "was", и "eat" превращается в "eating".

6) I was studying while he was making dinner.

• "I" требует "was", и "study" становится "studying".
• "He" также требует "was", и "make" становится "making".

7) While Ellen was reading, Tim was watching television.

• "Ellen" используется с "was", и "read" становится "reading".
• "Tim" тоже требует "was", и "watch" превращается в "watching".

8) They were eating dinner, discussing their plans, and having a good time.

• "They" требует "were". Глаголы "eat", "discuss", и "have" соответственно становятся "eating", "discussing", и "having".

Таким образом, Past Continuous показывает действие, которое происходило в определенный момент в прошлом или продолжалось в течение некоторого времени.
