Question

Complete the sentences with the Past Continuous form of the verbs in brackets. (not watch) the film because (swim) in the river.

1. I knew that my dad _________ (not watch) the film because his eyes were closed.

Answer 1

To complete the sentence in Past Continuous, it should be: 'I knew that my dad was not watching the film because his eyes were closed.' The Past Continuous is made with 'was/were' plus the '-ing' form of the verb.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is required to use the Past Continuous tense to complete a sentence. The Past Continuous tense is used to indicate an action that was ongoing at a certain time in the past. It is formed by using was or were followed by the -ing form of the verb.

The sentence should read:

• I knew that my dad was not watching the film because his eyes were closed.

The formation of the Past Continuous tense is essential in describing events that were in progress in the past while another action occurred.
