примечание:

read the sentences carefully and try to understand whether the action was short or long. remember about state verbs which cannot be used in continuous forms. прочитайте предложения внимательно и постарайтесь понять, было ли действие продолжительным. помните про то, что статичные глаголы не употребляются в формах continuous.

write or type full sentences using either past simple or past continuous. if you doubt what tense to choose or how to build the form, revise the topic “past simple and past continuous”. напишите или напечатайте предложения полностью, используя past simple или past continuous.
