Answer:

1. He <em>was talking</em> with Mary, when Mrs. Smith came in.

2. They <em>studied</em> two hours last night.

3. Jane <em>was sleeping</em> when the telephone rang.

4. As I <em>was walking</em> to the lab, I met my friend.

5. We <em>watched</em> TV last night.

6. The customer <em>was paying</em> his cheque when he dropped his credit card.

7. The barber <em>cut</em> my hair yesterday.

8. She<em> was dancing</em> when she hurt her ankle.

9. It <em>was raining</em> hard when I got up.

10. It <em>rained</em> hard last night.

Explanation:

Past Simple or Past Indefinite:

This tense is usually used when the sentence has an adverb of past tense, e.g last ----- , yesterday, ago.

The sentences No. 2, 5, 7 and 10 all have adverbs of past tense i.e yesterday or last.

Past Continuous:

We use this tense when talking about some event of past, that was taking place or happening at that specific time.

We also use Past Continuous tense when some event was already taking place or in the process, and some other even took place at that time. However if some event had already taken place some other event in the past, we use Past Perfect. Since there is no option to use Past Perfect Tense in this question, we can safely use Past Continuous Tense in sentences No. 1, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 9.

PLEASE HURRY I WILL GIVE BRAINLIST AND 200 POINTS
rusak2 [61]

Dear Mr Chen,

I am Rona Lyn Olivar, one of the part-time receptionists at your Sea View Hotel. I have been working here since July and I have taken the job to gain some experience that I thought would be helpful for my future career. I am writing to draw your attention to a few issues I have encountered in the hotel. I am hoping that you would take steps to solve these.

I have noticed that some of the duty staffs at night shift sleep inside the hotel's quarter instead of being at the reception area. Literally, I and Lindsay- who is also a new employee, work and manage everything at night. They even do not bother to come to the reception area at busy hours when we have an influx of guests - usually on Friday nights. I believe this is against the rules.

Moreover, breakfast is supposed to be ready before 7:00 am but it is not the case. Sometimes the guests have to wait till 8:00 am for breakfast to arrive. Some of the guests have lodged complained regarding this.

I thought you should be notified about these irregularities. Duty officers at night shift should be reprimanded and warned so that they execute their duties. Besides, look at the recent complaints regarding the delay in breakfast serving and talk to the head chef.

I look forward to your response regarding this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Rona Olivar

In what ways he hana's life in Japan unsatisfying to her?
OlgaM077 [116]

This question is about "Tears of Autumn"

Answer:

Hana's life is unsatisfactory because she has no freedom or autonomy at all.

Explanation:

Hana has very little freedom in her life, as her family "suffocates" her, counteracts all her steps and does not allow her to make her own decision. This leaves Hana in an extremely unsatisfactory and unmotivated life.

Hana's family doesn't let her have her own experiences, besides trying to force her to marry a man she doesn't love, she has no interest.
