Диалог:

— Nick, you won’t believe me, but I saw aliens yesterday.
— Aliens? When did it happen?
— Well, it was about 8 o’clock. And I was walking my dog. You know that place behind the school. The weather was terrible. It was dark and cold. And yes, it was raining. So I wanted to get back home. But then I saw their ship.
— Was it flying in the sky?
— No, it wasn’t. It was standing in the middle of the field. And all the windows were shining brightly with blue light.
— Wow! And the aliens? What were the aliens doing, Tim?
— They were running around their ship, and I think they were talking to each other because they were making some strange noises.
— And what were they wearing?
— Some green clothes. I was looking at them and then bang! They disappeared!

Перевод диалога:

— Ник, ты мне не поверишь, но вчера я видел инопланетян.
— Инопланетян? Когда это случилось?
— Ну, было около восьми часов. Я выгуливал собаку. Знаешь то место за школой. Погода была ужасная. Было темно и холодно. И да, шёл дождь. Поэтому я хотел вернуться домой. Но тут я увидел их корабль.
— Он летел в небе?
— Нет. Он стоял посреди поля. Все окна ярко светились синим светом.
— Ух ты! А инопланетяне? Что они делали, Тим?
— Они бегали вокруг своего корабля, и, думаю, разговаривали друг с другом, потому что издавали какие-то странные звуки.
— А во что они были одеты?
— В зелёную одежду. Я смотрел на них, и вдруг — бац! Они исчезли!

Краткое правило: Past Continuous образуется так: was/were + глагол с окончанием -ing. В вопросах was/were ставится перед подлежащим.
