Respuesta:

2. The Claytons were celebrating a birthday party when I phoned last friday.

Explicación:

El "past progressive" describe acciones o eventos situados en el pasado y que todavía no han terminado al momento de hablar, es decir, una acción sin terminar. Se utiliza para describir el contexto de una historia en pasado.

El "past progressive" de cualquier verbo se compone en dos partes:

• El pasado del verbo to be (Was y were)
• Y el sufijo "ing", por ejemplo:

I was playing football yesterday.
