Kata kerja "work" dan "listen" dalam bentuk Past Continuous karena aksi tersebut sedang berlangsung di masa lalu.2. "Margaret was talking on her smartphone when she started crying." Kata kerja "talk" dalam bentuk Past Continuous dan "start" dalam bentuk Past Simple karena aksi "start crying" terjadi tiba-tiba di tengah-tengah aksi "talking".3. "Adam wasn't watching the film so I changed TV channels." Kata kerja "watch" dalam bentuk Past Simple negatif dan "change" dalam bentuk Past Simple karena aksi "change TV channels" terjadi tiba-tiba setelah aksi "watching the film".4. "Tony wasn't taking any photos with his phone at the party because he was sending text messages to Jessica all the time." Kata kerja "take" dalam bentuk Past Simple negatif dan "send" dalam bentuk Past Continuous karena aksi "send text messages" sedang berlangsung di masa lalu.5. "I dropped my memory stick when I was running for the tram."
