Past Continuous: Negative
כדי לשלול פעולה בעבר ממושך, מוסיפים not אחרי was/were: wasn't / weren't + פועל עם -ing. I wasn't sleeping. · They weren't listening. הפועל העיקרי נשאר עם -ing, בלי do/did.
Make each sentence negative (was not / were not + verb-ing). In the last two, type the whole sentence using the short form. בחרו was not/were not, ובשתי האחרונות הקלידו את המשפט המקוצר. הראשונה - דוגמה פתורה.
They weren't listening. מוסיפים not ל-was/were: I wasn't reading. · She wasn't cooking. · They weren't playing.
was / were + not + verb-ing
מוסיפים not מיד אחרי was/were, והפועל העיקרי נשאר עם -ing. הקיצורים: was not = wasn't, were not = weren't. בלי do/did.
