Answer 1

Ответ:

1. Verbs in past simple: "began," "wrote." Verb in past continuous: "was working." To form past simple, typically add -ed to regular verbs. To form past continuous, use "was/were" + the base verb + "-ing."

2. The past simple tense describes a completed action.

3. The past continuous tense describes something that was in progress when the second action happened.

4. The action that started first was "working as a veterinarian."

5. Negative form of past continuous: "He was not working." Question form: "Was he working?"

6. The time word used is "when" in the sentence, "When they were living in the village, the Second World War started."

7. Other time words that can join past simple and past continuous include "while," "as," "just as," "during," and "at the time."

8. The action was happening at 6.00 p.m. The past continuous is also used to describe actions that were in progress at a specific past time.

Answer 2

1. Underline the verbs in the past simple and past continuous in the sentences below. How do we form the past simple and past continuous? - While he was working as a veterinarian, he began to write stories.

In the sentence, "was working" is in the past continuous tense, indicating an ongoing action, and "began" is in the past simple tense, indicating a completed action.

To form the past simple: - Regular verbs: Add "-ed" to the base form (e.g., work - worked). - Irregular verbs: Follow irregular patterns (e.g., begin - began).

To form the past continuous: - Use the past tense of "to be" (was/were) + the present participle of the main verb (e.g., was working).

2. Which tense describes a completed action? - The past simple tense describes a completed action.

3. Which tense describes something that was in progress when the second action happened? - The past continuous tense describes something that was in progress when the second action happened.

4. Which action started first? Working as a veterinarian or Began to write stories? - Working as a veterinarian started first.

5. What are the negative and question forms of the past continuous? - Negative: Subject + was/were not + present participle - Example: He was not working.

- Question: Was/Were + subject + present participle? - Example: Was he working?

6. We can join the past simple and past continuous clauses of a sentence with a time word. What time word is used in the following sentence? "When they were living in the village, the Second World War started." - The time word used is "When."

7. What other time words are used to join the past simple and past continuous? - Other time words that can be used include "while," "as," "as long as," "during," etc.

8. Look at the sentence below. When was the action happening? When else do we use the past continuous? "At 6.00 p.m., he was writing a novel." - The action was happening at 6:00 p.m.

We use the past continuous to describe an action that was in progress at a specific point in the past or over a period of time. It emphasizes the duration or ongoing nature of the action.
