I came across the following sentences in an exercise:"Margaret was replying all the letters she received last week." and "The chambermaid made my bed in the hotel and cleaned the bathroom while I was having breakfast." I wanted to ask if "replied" is correct in the first sentence. In the second sentence, isn't it correct to write "was making" and "was cleaning" since there is "while" in the sentence showing that two actions were parallel?
