Answer 2

1. the window blew open while I was reading in bed last night. In this sentence, "read" is incorrect. The past continuous tense "was reading" should be used to indicate that the action was ongoing at a specific point in the past.

2. we drove to London when suddenly, one of our tires exploded. In this sentence, "were driving" is incorrect. The simple past tense "drove" should be used to indicate a completed action in the past.

3. Sue got up early and went for a swim. In this sentence, both options "went" and "was going" are possible. However, "went" emphasizes a completed action, while "was going" emphasizes the ongoing action. Both would be correct depending on the intended meaning.

4. my parents met each other while they were studying at art college. In this sentence, "studied" is incorrect. The past continuous tense "were studying" should be used to indicate ongoing actions in the past.

5. I saw that film when I was living in Germany. In this sentence, both options "saw" and "was seeing" are possible. However, "saw" is more commonly used to indicate a specific event in the past, while "was seeing" implies an ongoing action. Both would be correct depending on the intended meaning.

6. when we got to the hotel, Andy went straight to bed. In this sentence, both options "got" and "were getting" are possible. However, "got" is more commonly used to indicate a completed action, while "were getting" implies an ongoing action. Both would be correct depending on the intended meaning.

7. I didn't go out last night - I was writing an essay. I didn't finish it, unfortunately. In this sentence, both options "wrote" and "was writing" are possible. However, "was writing" is preferable as it emphasizes the ongoing action of writing at a specific point in the past. Additionally, "wasn't finishing" is correct to indicate that the action of not finishing the essay was ongoing.
