Answer 2

Explanation:

Past continuous tense:-

The past continuous tense, also known as the past progressive tense, refers to a continuing action or state that was happening at some point in the past. The past continuous tense is formed by combining the past tense of to be (i.e., was/were) with the verb’s present participle (-ing word).

There are many situations in which this verb tense might be used in a sentence. For example, it is often used to describe conditions that existed in the past.

1. The sun was shining every day that summer.
2. As I spoke, the children were laughing at my cleverness.
