Посмотрите на примеры из аудирования на странице 46. Затем дополните правила 1 и 2, используя past simple или past continuous.

Ответ:

1. We use the past continuous to talk about activities in progress at a moment in the past. (Мы используем past continuous, чтобы говорить о действиях, которые были в процессе в определенный момент в прошлом.)

2. We use the past simple to talk about a short, finished action which happens in the middle of another activity. (Мы используем past simple, чтобы говорить о коротком, завершенном действии, которое происходит в середине другого действия.)
