Answer 2

Sure, let's fill in the blanks and choose the appropriate verb tense (past simple or past continuous):

0. when we arrived at the resort, it was raining. (arrive, rain)
1. we were running when the storm started. (run, start)
2. we were running for shelter when the storm started. (run, start)
3. I was leaving the bank when the robber arrived. (leave, arrive)
4. I arrived at the bank when the robber was leaving. (arrive, leave)

Explanation: 0) "arrived" is in the past simple tense because it refers to a completed action. "was raining" is in the past continuous tense as it indicates an ongoing action in the past.

1. and 2) "were running" is in the past continuous tense as it describes an ongoing action in the past. "started" is in the past simple tense as it indicates the beginning of the storm, a completed action.

2. and 4) "was leaving" and "was arriving" are in the past continuous tense as they describe ongoing actions in the past. "arrived" and "left" are in the past simple tense as they indicate the completion of the actions. In sentence 4, the order is reversed compared to sentence 3 to show the different timing of the actions.
