Answer 1

1. was drinking
2. were having
3. was not reading / wasn’t reading
4. were watching
5. was - watching
6. were not doing / weren’t doing
7. was - raining
8. was listening
9. were working
10. was liking (aunque de este último no estoy muy segura; pues según varias fuentes, “like” no se puede escribir en forma -ing, por lo que quizá puedas optar también por “Howard liked/did like the movie).
