1. What was happening at the beginning of the story? What tense describes this?
Ответ от учителя
At the beginning of the story, the narrator was describing the setting of the story, which was a small village in the mountains. The tense used to describe this was the past continuous tense, as the narrator was describing an ongoing action in the past.
For example, the narrator wrote, «The sun was setting behind the mountains, and the sky was turning pink and orange. The villagers were finishing their work for the day and heading home.»
This tense is used to describe an action that was in progress at a specific time in the past. It helps to create a sense of atmosphere and setting for the story.
