В вопросах `Was/Were` ставится перед действующим лицом. 2. **Ex. 8–9 (Past Simple vs Past Continuous):** * **1) were receiving / 2) appeared:** союз *While* указывает на длительный процесс (*Past Continuous*), на фоне которого произошло разовое событие — появление сети (*Past Simple*). * **3) spoke, 4) started, 5) became:** перечисление завершенных фактов в прошлом (*Past Simple*). * **6) grew / was growing:** констатация факта роста (*Past Simple*) или описание непрерывного процесса развития (*Past Continuous*). * **7) wanted, 9) had:** глаголы состояния (*stative verbs* — `want`, `have` в значении «иметь») не употребляются во временах группы Continuous, поэтому ставим их в *Past Simple*. * **8) became / was becoming:** факт изменения или процесс становления популярнее с каждым годом. * **10) got:** последовательное завершенное действие в конкретный период (начало 2021 года) — *Past Simple*.
