Medellín.

Oh, in the same place where we were recycling the
previous month?
Yes , teacher, that was awesome!
Many people were also enjoying this
natural environment

Nice pictures!Butterflies, cats
and iguanas were beautifying the
garden.

the nature and its animals.

I wasn’t enjoying such a wonderful
place, I was traveling instead
In that environment I was breathing fresh air
. . .I was traveling by plane while you were
sharing with your family.

This is how we can use the past progressive Yes, to describe
what we were doing recently.
We just need to use the verb to be (WAS/WERE) and the main verb + ING

Frank was taking some photos to prepare this
presentation, for example
We can use the past progressive to describe
what was happening at a specific time
![Page 9: Past progresisve, frank cano](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070523/58ecc6f01a28abe0488b457d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
But also to describe an action interrupted
by other The butterfly
was flying when I
took this photo

Or when two actions were happening at
the same time
Subject
To Be (Was - Were)
Verb + ing
I was reading about
butterflies while my parents
were buying some tickets

What was your dad doing while you were taking photos?
He was visiting the birds museum

Were your parents visiting another place there??
No, they weren’t. They were learning, enjoying and resting at the
birds and plants museum.
