My brother and I went out right away to have a look. When we got to the place of the accident, the car was in bad shape from hitting a tree. But luckily, the driver was fine. The roads were icy because of the heavy snow from the night before. Check answers, explaining the choice of each word: while for simultaneous actions (making breakfast and listening to radio). when for an action (eating) happening at the time another action (radio news talking) occurs. was/were for past continuous or past state. Step 3 Discussing Past Actions at Specific Times (15 minutes) (4c) Task: Students fill in the chart about what they and their partner were doing at specific times last Sunday, then ask their partner.
