A few months ago, Chloe Norton, 16, was at the beach with her two young cousins. She was looking after them for the afternoon. While the two boys were playing with a ball, Chloe opened her book and lay down on the sand. Suddenly, while she was reading, the ball flew past her head and landed behind some rocks. ‘Be careful!’ she shouted to the boys. Then she got up to find the ball. As she was looking for the ball, she saw something behind one of the rocks. She stopped and looked at it closely. It was a very large tooth. She was looking at part of a dinosaur over 100 million years old. Later, archaeologists removed the tooth and took it to a local museum.

Несколько месяцев назад шестнадцатилетняя Хлоя Нортон была на пляже со своими двумя маленькими двоюродными братьями. Днём она присматривала за ними. Пока мальчики играли с мячом, Хлоя открыла книгу и легла на песок. Вдруг, пока она читала, мяч пролетел мимо её головы и упал за камни. «Осторожно!» — крикнула она мальчикам. Затем она встала, чтобы найти мяч. Пока она искала мяч, она увидела что-то за одним из камней. Она остановилась и внимательно рассмотрела находку. Это был очень большой зуб. Она рассматривала часть динозавра, жившего более 100 миллионов лет назад. Позже археологи извлекли зуб и отвезли его в местный музей.

Длительное действие, на фоне которого произошло другое, выражается Past Continuous; последовательные завершённые события — Past Simple.
