Media Image

When mum came home, the boys ___________ (not play) football because it ___________ (rain).

weren't playing, was raining

didn't play, rained

weren't playing, rained

Answer explanation

Mum coming home is a brief action, it ends quickly. The others are both continuous actions. Not playing - eitav voorm jääb samuti kestvasse minevikku (past continuous). Kui jääb segaseks, proovige jaatavas vormis sõnastada, ja tuleb ikkagi kasutada kestvat minevikku: When mum came home, the boys were playing football because it was raining (äkki neile meeldib vihmas jalkat mängida :).
