? info	Where was I watching TV? Where were they watching TV?
---
At 7pm, I ate dinner. = I started dinner at 7pm.

When my wife got home, I ate dinner. = I started dinner when she got home.
When my wife got home, I was eating dinner. = I was in the middle of dinner when she got home.

Conjunctions with past continuous:
when + simple past (or past continuous)
while + past continuous (or simple past for something that took a long time)
because + the reason for something (often past continuous)
so + the effect (often simple past)
- None of these are 100% connected to a particular tense.
- The more important thing to realize is that past continuous often gives “background” information.
---
part 10 - Put these sentences together with “because”, “when”, “while”, and “so” (use each once).
1 I was taking a photo of a hippo when I dropped my camera in the water.
2 My friend fell out of the raft because he wasn’t holding on.
3 I saw some strange fish while I was diving.
4 I was having some problems with my mask, so my brother helped me.

Titanic Timeline:
1912 - It traveled and sank in the North Atlantic. Many people died.
1960s - Two US nuclear submarines disappeared
1985 - Ballard discovered the wreck of the ship.
‘85-’04 - A salvage company removed objects. James Cameron visited the wreck. A couple got married.
2004 - Ballard returned to the ship.

Grammar: Past Perfect
---
meaning: something happened before another event in the past
usage: in a story about a specific time in the past, past perfect can tell us about earlier events
form: had + past participle
---
It’s possible to use all three of these tenses in the same sentence:
“We realized we were celebrating where people had died.”
realize - during the celebration
celebrate - after they realized it was the Titanic (in 1985)
die - 1912
- All the past simple verbs in the first two paragraphs are about 1985.
“I felt that the people who had died here were speaking to me again.”
“I knew a company had taken objects”
- “Felt” and “knew” happened in 2004, like all the simple past verbs in this paragraph.
die - 1912
take - between 1985 and 2004
---
p. 37 part 7 - Choose the correct options for each sentence.
1 had been
2 sank
3 was
4 had disappeared
5 hadn’t located
6 visited / had visited
(With conjunctions like “because”, “before”, and “after”, past perfect is not necessary for the first event, because the conjunction tells you the order.)
---
Lateral thinking puzzles - Ask yes/no questions to discover the explanation for each situation. (Hint: all of them are related to water.)
