Чтобы правильно раскрыть скобки и употребить глаголы в форме Past Continuous, нужно помнить, что эта форма используется для обозначения действий, которые происходили в определенный момент в прошлом. Она образуется с помощью вспомогательного глагола "to be" в прошедшем времени (was/were) и основного глагола с окончанием -ing.
Теперь давайте рассмотрим шаги, которые помогут вам правильно раскрыть скобки в предложениях:
- Определите подлежащее. Это поможет вам понять, какой вспомогательный глагол использовать (was или were).
- Выберите правильную форму глагола "to be". Если подлежащее в единственном числе, используйте "was"; если во множественном — "were".
- Добавьте основной глагол в форме -ing. Это будет основной глагол, который описывает действие.
