Pops, Mac and Eva are in Egypt. They want to find the lost tomb of Princess Zara.
1 Pops's Diary Monday 1st September, Egypt! What a day! At 9 a.m. we left home to look for the tomb. At 5 p.m. we were still looking for it! Then we had some luck. We were cycling through the desert when we finally saw it!
2 Eva: Look at these shoes ... and this necklace! Pops: Yes, Princess Zara loved clothes. Mac: What happened to her? Pops: It's a sad story.
3 Pops: The princess lived in Egypt 3,000 years ago. On the night of her 18th birthday, she had a big party. It was fantastic!
4 Eva: Was she wearing this necklace? Pops: Yes, she was! The princess wasn't wearing casual clothes, of course! She was wearing a very special dress. It was really long and that's why something terrible happened. While Princess Zara was dancing, she tripped on her dress and fell into the river! Eva: Oh, no!
5 Pops: A crocodile was waiting nearby. Mac: Oh no! What happened, Pops? Pops: Well, no one could save the princess. She disappeared.
6 Eva: How awful! But the necklace is beautiful. Help me put it on, Mac. Ooh, your hands are cold! Mac: Those aren't my hands — it's Princess Zara! RUN!

- В 12:00 она со своим скорпионом играет в шахматы, а не в футбол.
- В 17:00 она спит, а не читает книгу.
Грамматика: здесь нужен Past Continuous — действие происходило в конкретный момент в прошлом. Вопрос строится так: Was/Were + подлежащее + глагол с -ing?
Короткий ответ повторяет was/were:

- Princess Zara and her pet scorpion → were / weren't.
Проверка: have breakfast → having breakfast, play → playing, read → reading, sleep → sleeping.
