| comment | "We use the past continuous to talk about events and temporary states that were in progress around a certain time in the past. It can emphasise that the action or state continued for a period of time in the past. In other words, the present continuous expresses an unfinished or incomplete action in the past.In the test sentence the event (driving - action) was in progress at 7 p.m. and continued for a period of time. The past continuous of any verb is composed of two parts: the past tense of the verb ""to be""(was/were), and the base of the main verb +ing. Then, we are to choose ANSWER 1." |
