Упражнения на Past Continuous

Русскоговорящему человеку понять, для чего вообще «придуманы» длительные времена, очень непросто, поэтому наибольшие затруднения вызывает именно употребление Past Continuous и его отличие от Past Simple.

Чтобы досконально изучить правила образования и использования прошедшего длительного времени, недостаточно вызубрить теорию, нужно регулярно выполнять упражнение на повторение и закрепление правил.

Упражнения на подстановку с ответами

Вставьте глаголы, поставив их в Past Continuous:

to walk, to march, to eat, to work

1. We … hard yesterday evening.
2. They stood there quietly, while the soldiers ….
3. As I … down the street, my enemy went by.
4. The chair fell down when the old lady ….

To like, to move, to drink, to love, to hear, to listen, to want.

Ответы:

To like, to love, to hear, to want.

Выпишите глаголы, в которых при добавлении окончания конечная согласная не удваивается:

To eat, to stop, to beg, to sleep, to get, to give, to put.

Ответы:

To eat, to sleep, to give.

Если с первого раза не получилось, не переживайте: регулярное выполнение одних и тех же упражнений и даже их заучивание поможет разложить все по полочкам мозга.
