Answer 1

Ответ:

1. They were playing games in the game centre when I saw them.

(форма глагола должна выражать процесс, длительное действие, для этого нужно использовать past continuous)

2. On Saturday, although it was raining, I went to the fun fair with my friends.  ✔ (correct)

3. In the evening we went to cinemas and theatres.

(Поскольку кинотеатры и театры написаны во множ. числе, речь идёт о часто повторявшихся действиях в прошлом, и значит, нужно использовать Past Simple)

4. It was summer but it was snowing when I woke up.

(когда проснулся, шёл снег - это длительное действие)

5. I arrived home in the morning, then I slept all day.​

(Здесь мы просто называем действия, их длительность не важна)

Answer 2

Here are the corrected sentences:

1. ✔ They played games in the game center when I saw them.
2. ✔ On Saturday, although it was raining, I went to the funfair with my friends.
3. ✔ In the evening, we were going to cinemas and theaters.
4. ❌ It was summer but it snowed when I woke up. (This sentence is grammatically correct, but it may not make logical sense if you're talking about a typical summer day; you might want to rephrase it.)
5. ✔ I arrived home in the morning, then I slept all day.

I've marked the corrections with "✔" and provided a note for the sentence that might need a logical adjustment.
