Как понять принцип
- Past Continuous — \(was/were + V-ing\): действие было в процессе, «длилось» в нужный момент.
- Past Simple — вторая форма глагола: короткое, законченное действие или событие, которое произошло на фоне длительного.
- Поэтому часто: was doing … when did; did … while was doing.
- В вопросах вспомогательный глагол ставится перед подлежащим: Was William talking…? Were they going…?
- В отрицании: weren’t listening.
Проверка: в большинстве предложений одно действие — «фон» (Continuous), другое — короткое событие (Simple). В №2 и №4 оба действия длились одновременно, поэтому там оба Continuous.
