1. Past tenses
| № | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1 | was walking |
| 2 | realised |
| 3 | had been following |
| 4 | turned |
| 5 | was holding |
| 6 | started |
| 7 | dreamt / dreamed |
| 8 | arrived |
| 9 | had fallen out |
| 10 | got up |
| 11 | ran |
| 12 | was waiting |
| 13 | spotted |

Why: use the past continuous for an action in progress or a background action; the past simple for short, completed actions and sequences; the past perfect (continuous) for an action that happened before another past moment or had continued up to it.
2. used to / would
- Marion used to have dark hair.
- Simon didn't use to read comics when he was at school.
- Edward's granddad would walk for an hour to get to school when he was a child.
(used to walk is also correct.) - Claire would train every day when she was younger.
(used to train is also correct.) - Ben used to work in a shop, but now he works in a museum.
- Diana used to live in the countryside before she moved to the city.
Why: would is used for repeated actions in the past, not for states such as have, live, work or in negatives. Use didn't use to, not didn't used to.
3. Mistake + correction
| № | Mistake | Correction |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A: was having | had (example) |
| 2 | B: tidied | was tidying |
| 3 | A: was waiting | had been waiting |
| 4 | B: used to water | watered |
| 5 | B: was moving | moved |
| 6 | B: had jogged | was jogging |
| 7 | B: would make | made |
Quick check: look at the linking words — when, while, by the time, before, after. They show whether an action was in progress, happened first, or came next in a sequence.
