English

Ludmilka [50]2 years ago

We can complete the sentences considering that the past continuous indicates the action that was taking place when another action happened (simple past).

  • Were... driving? / stopped
  • was snowing / left
  • didn't see / was working
  • called / was talking
  • were studying / met
  • Were... living / had

<h3>What is the simple past tense?</h3>

The simple past tense is the form of the verb we use to indicate that an action took place in the past. We use the simple past tense when the action has already finished.

Examples:

  • Affirmative: I saw you at the party last night.
  • Negative: I didn't see you at the party last night.
  • Interrogative: Did you see me at the party last night?

<h3>What is the past continuous tense?</h3>

The past continuous tense is used to indicate that an action had a longer duration in the past, that is, that it started in the past, lasted for a while, and then ended.

Examples:

  • Affirmative: She was watching her favorite cartoon.
  • Negative: She wasn't watching her favorite cartoon.
  • Interrogative: Was she watching her favorite cartoon.

The two tenses can be used in the same sentence to indicate that one action - simple past - interrupted another action - past continuous - or happened while the other action was taking place.

Example:

  • I was cooking when someone rang the doorbell.

Select the correct answer. Which phrase is a noun phrase in the given paragraph? Since childhood Jess has been interested in the
deff fn [24]

Answer:  The correct answer is:  [B]:  " the art of story telling. "

_____________________________  

Explanation:

_____________________________

The given excerpt is as follows:

      Since childhood, Jess has been interested in the art of storytelling. She would entertain her little brother and sister with tales of magic and adventure. She started writing stories almost as soon as she learned the alphabet. To write her stories, Jess relies on her colorful imagination.

___________________________

Let us consider the other answer choices:

Choice  [A]: "has been interested" ;

Choice  [C]:  "would entertain" ;

Choice  [D]:  "started writing" ;

     are all "<u>verb phrases</u>" ; that do not contain any "noun"— or subject or object—nor do they function as a "noun" or "subject" in any way.

Choice  [E]:  "as soon as" ;  is an "adverb phrase" that describes "when" something is about to happen —(albeit not very specific about "when"—in this particular explanation.

____________________________

Choice:  [B]:  " the art of storytelling" ;  is the correct answer.

____________________________

This is clearly a "noun phrase" ; since it begins with a noun [athough this is not required to be a "noun phrase"]—and is modified by a "gerund" [i.e. modified by further explanation—by using the words "of storytelling"] ; in which the "gerund" is "storytelling".  Gerunds are nouns formed from "verb forms ending in -ing" —which <u>function as a noun</u>.

___________________________

Hope this is helpful to you!  

   Best wishes to you in your academic endeavors—and within the

"Brainly" community!

Read the excerpt from The Crisis, Number I by Thomas Paine.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Answer is B.

It provides the most clear answer in which most people can understand. It summarizes what he means very well. Thomas basically said that he would not support war in most circumstances but he would also not stand by and suffer when an evil force is hurting him. Even if it is a king, he would still not let himself and his friends suffer from his "tyranny." The choice B summarizes this nicely.
