Hello,
When is is it possible to use passive voice past countinuous and passive voice past simple interchangeably?
For example;
The new program was being tested for errors at three o'clock yesterday. Or The new program was tested for errors at three c'clock yestaerday. (I chose the second sentence as correct.)
The book was being translated at 4 o'clock. Or
The books was translated at 4 o'clock. (Correct)
Dinner were being cooked by me.
Dinner was cooked by me.(I think 'was cooked' is right)
'Red Sunset' was being painted in 1986 by Smithers/ was painted.('was painted' is my choice)
Thanks
