Здравствуйте!
 Проверим домашние задания.

1.Mary will be ready soon. She is having breakfast at the moment.
2..When I finally found the house, I knocked at the door but  didn’t hear  the  answer.
 Knock at
3.    They spoke so quickly that I didn’t understand what they were speaking about.

4.I was very tired. When I  got  to bed, I fell asleep immediately.
5. Actually , today I feel worse than I did yesterday.
6.Would you mind waiting  a few minutes?

7.I’m  less interested  in languages than in mathematics.
8.. The students often translate English texts  into Russian.
9. You are a great cook! This cake tastes wonderful as usual.
 Я уже упоминала, что к Past Simple  мы будем еще возвращаться. А сейчас давайте посмотрим Past Continuous.

We use the Past Continuous to say that someone was in the middle  of  doing something at a certain time. The action or situation had  already  started before this time but hadn,t finished.

This time last year I was living in Brazil. What were you doing at  10 o'clock last night?

The Past Continuous does not tell us whether an action was finished or not. Perhaps it was finished, perhaps not.

Compare: Tom was cooking the dinner./He was in the middle  of  cooking the dinner and we don't know whether he finished cooking it./
Tom cooked the dinner. / He began and finished./
We often use the Past Continuous. / I was doing/ and the Past Simple/ I did/ together to say that something happened in the middle of something  else.

Tom burnt his hand when he was cooking the dinner. I saw  Jim  in  the park. He was sitting on the grass and reading a book. It  was  raining when I got up.

BUT TO SAY THAT ONE THING HAPPENED AFTER ANOTHER, USE THE PAST SIMPLE.
YESTERDAY EVENING TOM WAS HAVING A BATH WHEN THE PHONE  RANG.  HE  GOT OUT OF THE BATH AND ANSWERED THE PHONE.
Compare: When Tom arrived, we  were  having  dinner.  We  had  already started  dinner  before  Tom  arrived.  When  Tom  arrived,  we    had dinner./Tom arrived and then we had dinner.

There are some words /know, want...../ which aren't  normally  used  in continuous tenses.  Список таких глаголов был в одном из предыдущих выпусков.

Продолжим знакомство с прилагательными и наречиями.
We  also  use  adverbs  before  adjectives  and  other   adverbs. reasonably cheap, terribly sorry ( adverb+ adjective).
incredibly (невероятно) quickly( adverb+ adverb).
        It's a reasonably cheap restaurant and the food is extremely good. Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to  push  you.  Maria learns languages incredibly quickly. I was bitterly  disappointed that I didn't get the job. The exam was surprisingly easy.

Переведите все предыдущие предложения. Заучите сочетания наречия и прилагательного. Это вам пригодится.  
You can use  an  adverb  before  a  past  participle  (  injured, organized)

 The meeting was very badly organized. The driver of the car  was seriously injured in  the  accident.  The  building  was  totally destroyed in the fire.
