Past Progressive Tense Exercises

The correct answer is B. were, when. The sentence is describing an action that Lindsay and I were doing in the past, which is looking for a skirt. Therefore, the verb should be in the past tense. Additionally, the word "when" is used to indicate the timing of the action, further supporting the use of the past tense verb "were."

The correct answer is C. was listening. This is because the sentence is in the past continuous tense, which is used to describe an ongoing action in the past. In this case, the speaker was listening to the radio while their father was watching television. The past continuous tense is formed using "was/were" + present participle (-ing form of the verb).

The correct answer is D. was watching. This is because the sentence is in the past tense and the phrase "at this time yesterday" indicates a specific point in the past. The past continuous tense "was watching" is used to describe an action that was happening at that specific point in the past.

The correct answer is A. when. This is because the phrase "the telephone rang" indicates an event that interrupted the ongoing activity of cooking breakfast. The word "when" is used to connect two events that happen at the same time or in close succession, making it the most appropriate choice in this context.
