Type ONLY the missing verb phrase in the blank. Do NOT type the whole sentence.

1. Read the complete sentence carefully.

2. Use the verb clue in parentheses.

3. Remember: the Past Progressive uses was/were + verb-ing.

4. In questions, use the correct question word order.

5. In negative sentences, include not or the correct contraction.

6. Click Check Answers to see your score and feedback.

Example: At 8 p.m., I ______ dinner. (cook)
Correct entry: was cooking — not the whole sentence.

Some verbs are irregular in the Simple Past, but the Past Progressive still uses the -ing form: go → was going, not “was went.”
