Hi, people! I hope that by the time you have reached this section of work for recovering the missing hours, you have no doubts still. Now we are going to do some exercises of what we already have seen in class:THE PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE.
First of all, I will remind you the usage of this verbal tense, how it is composed and finally, you will find some exercises. Got it?
Usage: We use the past continuous to talk about something which was in progress at a past time. The action or situation had started but it had not finished at that time.
Form: We form the past continuous with was / were + verb + ing.
Exercise:
Put the verbs in brackets into the correct form.
1.- We __________ (go) down in the lift when suddenly it stopped.
2.- _________ (they/have) dinner when you called to see them?
3.- When the doorbell__________ (ring) I got up and answered.
4.- WhenI opened the door, a friend of mine ___________(stand) there.
Students, here I've brought some exercises for you to keep on practicing... We will talk about this in class.
Clomplete the sentences. Use the verbs y brackets in the present continuous.

Jóvenes alumnos, reciban mi más cordial bienvenida y palabras de agradecimiento para todos aquellos que ingresen a este medio ya que evidencian el sincero compromiso personal y colectivo que tienen en cuanto a su formación. El estudio y la preparación engrandecen a la persona y favorecen el desarrollo del colectivo, lo cual, en este momento historico, es la llave para alcanzar los tan anhelados sueños que comenzaron desde que nuestros insignes próceres labraban el futuro de esta marvillosa Patria.
Al igual que en la primera semana, nuevamente les voy a sugerir que mediten mucho a cerca de la necesidad del Inglés en todos los ámbitos de la vida (profesional, personal, económico, recreativo, etc). Por favor, les pido que se tomen todo el tiempo necesario, pues a pesar de la aparente sencillez y carencia de importancia de este ejercicio, les aseguro que luego entenderán el provecho que brinda el hacerlo antes de estudiar la materia...
