Before giving this worksheet to your students, review and discuss when we use the Past Continuous in English - the 'be': (1) When we talk about specific times such as "three o'clock; (2) To emphasize that an one action (which took a certain length of time) happened when another, briefer action occured; for example: "I was sleeping when the telephone rang ; (3) To describe a situation when two actions (requiring a certain length of time) were happening simultaneously; for example: "We were eating while they were watching TV." Wrap-up by having students compare answers with classmates, and then choose one or two students to write their answers on the board: (1) Were / weren't; (2) were, etc. Correct and discuss any mistakes. (Add 5 to 10 minutes.) |
