Answer 2

Sure, I can help you with that!

1. Did you watch the film when the phone rang? 2. John saw a bright light as he walked down the street. 3. The baby was not sleeping when Grandpa arrived. 4. While he was traveling on the bus to work, he remembered that it was his wife's birthday. 5. Were the children studying while their nanny was preparing dinner? 6. While you were out, the postman came and delivered these letters.

In these sentences, we use the past simple tense when we want to talk about actions that happened at a specific point in the past. We use the past continuous tense to talk about actions that were in progress at a specific time in the past.
