Answer 1

Respuesta:

2- She was waiting for me on the corner now.

3-

4-We were making good progress.

5-He was doing well in his English.

6- I was getting hungry.

7- They were speaking English.

8- We were preparing our homework now.

9- The telephone was ringing.

10- I was reading the newspaper now.

Explicación:

Para el pasado continuo hacemos casi lo mismo que en presente continuo, la única diferencia es que el verbo TO BE, en vez de ser presente, (Am, is o are), lo agregamos en pasado, (was o were).

Lo formulamos:

(Subject) + verb to be (was o were) + verbing + .....

Ex1:

I was doing my homework.

Ex2:

You were baking a cake.

Nota: Was se usa para la personas singulares, (I, he, she o It), mientras que were para las plurales, (You, we o they).

En caso de que un verbo termine en consonante, vocal, consonante, al agregar el ING duplicamos la última consonante a menos de que ese verbo termine en w o y. Como ejemplo de esto tenemos el verbo swim, que al agregar ING obtenemos swimming. Por el contrario también tenemos el verbo buy, que con ING queda buying.
