Answer 3

1. He broke his leg when he was skiing in the Alps. In this sentence, both actions (breaking his leg and skiing) happened at the same time in the past. Therefore, we use the past continuous tense for the action in progress (was skiing) and the past simple tense for the action that interrupted it (broke his leg).

2. They were listening to the orchestra when the pianist became ill. In this sentence, the action of listening to the orchestra was in progress when the pianist became ill. Therefore, we use the past continuous tense for the action in progress (were listening) and the past simple tense for the action that interrupted it (became ill).

3. Ann played the piano while Tom was painting a picture. In this sentence, both actions (playing the piano and painting a picture) were happening simultaneously in the past. Therefore, we use the past continuous tense for the action in progress (was painting) and the past simple tense for the action that was not in progress (played the piano).
