Use the ideas to ask and answer questions about the people in pictures 1-5. 1 John/read magazine/6 o’clock? Example: Was John reading a magazine at 6 o’clock? No, he wasn’t. He was sending text messages on his phone. 2 Sue/send text messages on her mobile/6 o’clock? 3 Tony/send emails/6 o’clock? 4 Mary/watch TV/6 o’clock? 5 Laura/read the newspaper/6 o’clock?
В вопросе Past Continuous ставим was перед подлежащим, затем глагол с -ing: Was Sue sending…? В отрицательном кратком ответе используем wasn’t. Затем называем видимое на фотографии действие. Sue смотрит телевизор, Mary читает журнал, Laura смотрит в планшет. Фотография Tony не показывает, что он отправляет письма, поэтому такой ответ нельзя считать установленным; отмечаем только видимое действие. Различаем printed magazine — печатный журнал и newspaper — газета.
- Was John reading a magazine at six o’clock? No, he wasn’t. He was reading a text message on his mobile.
