4 The sun __________ (shine), so we __________ (decide) to have a barbecue.
5 She __________ (hurt) her finger while she __________ (cut) some bread.
6 Pat __________ (live) in Greece when he __________ (meet) Hannah.
Thì quá khứ đơn diễn tả một hành động đã xảy ra trong quá khứ có công thức: S + V2/ed.
Thì quá khứ tiếp diễn diễn tả hành động đang xảy ra tại một thời điểm trong quá khứ có công thức: S + was / were + V-ing.
Cấu trúc viết câu ở thì quá khứ nối hai hành động trong quá khứ với “when” (khi) và “while” (trong khi):
- Hành động đang xảy ra: S + was / were + V-ing.
- Hành động chen vào: S + V2/ed.
