To write the verbs in brackets into the past continuous tense, we need to consider the action that was happening at a specific time in the past.
The past continuous tense is formed by using the verb "to be" in the past tense (was or were) and adding the present participle form of the verb (ending in -ing).
Let's go through each verb and change it into the past continuous tense:
1. (run) - The verb is "run" and we need to put it into the past continuous tense. The past tense of "to be" for the subject "he" is "was". So, we write "was running".
2. (sing) - The verb is "sing" and we need to put it into the past continuous tense. The past tense of "to be" for the subject "they" is "were". So, we write "were singing".
3. (write) - The verb is "write" and we need to put it into the past continuous tense. The past tense of "to be" for the subject "I" is "was". So, we write "was writing".
4. (sleep) - The verb is "sleep" and we need to put it into the past continuous tense. The past tense of "to be" for the subject "he" is "was". So, we write "was sleeping".
5. (play) - The verb is "play" and we need to put it into the past continuous tense. The past tense of "to be" for the subject "we" is "were". So, we write "were playing".
6. (eat) - The verb is "eat" and we need to put it into the past continuous tense. The past tense of "to be" for the subject "she" is "was". So, we write "was eating".
So, the complete sentences in the past continuous tense would be:
1. He was running.
2. They were singing.
3. I was writing.
4. He was sleeping.
5. We were playing.
6. She was eating.
