Объяснение:
В этих предложениях используется Past Continuous (прошедшее продолженное время), чтобы описать действие, которое происходило в определенный момент в прошлом. Форма Past Continuous образуется с помощью вспомогательного глагола "to be" в прошедшем времени (was/were) и глагола с окончанием -ing.
