Answer 1

Respuesta:

1) was explaining

2) was not/ wasn't doing

3) was paying

4) were talking

5) was studying

6) were not/ weren't looking

Explicación:

Recuerda que el pasado continuo en su forma afirmativa es:

pronombre + auxiliar (was/were) + verbo en terminación -ing + complemento

donde el auxiliar was se usa para los pronombres I, she, he it, mientras que el auxiliar were para you, we, they.

en su forma negativa, se estructura de la siguiente manera:

pronombre + auxiliar (was not /were not) + verbo en terminación -ing + complemento

acá se pueden usar de forma de contracción, es decir, wasn't y weren't.
