the present perfect tense and a quiz

Hello Everyone

Your lesson for the day is on the past continuous tense. Use this tense for ongoing activity that took place in the past. Here's the formula:

Subject + was or were + ______ing

The subject determines your choice of "was" or "were." The main verb adds an "ing" ending.

Directions: Put the main verb (in parentheses) into the past continuous tense.

Write your answers in your notebook. 

1. What ________ you _______ yesterday? (do)

2. The students ________ ________ on their homework. (work)

3. Sheila _______ ________ making dinner when her mother called. (make)

4. It _______ ________ when I woke up this morning. (rain)

5. _______ the computer ________ you any trouble? (give)

6. The children ________ ________ with each other. (play -- negative)

7. Why ________ the little boy ________? (cry)

8. Our neighbors ________ __________ with us. (cooperate -- negative)

9. You ________ _________ to me. (listen -- negative)

10. The police ________ _________ that car. (follow)

How did you do? The answers are below, but try to complete the exercise before looking at them! 

The word of the day is "someday."

There's a new YouTube video for the word "head" when it's used as a verb. I just put this out yesterday and it already has over 500 views! If you have any suggestions for videos, just send them to me and I'll add them to my list. Thanks!

That's all for now. 

Have a nice day!

PEACE!
