This is concerning a Continuous function

Hi there,
I have been working on these 'Continuous Functions,' but I have having a few doubts as to the answer. I was wondering if my answer were correct? Any feedback would be great. Thanks

Thanks for the help Emotion: smile

My answer is in 'Bold and Italic.'

Possible answers:
  1. Two continuous actions happening at the same time
  2. An ongoing action that was interrupted by something
  3. An action that was in progress at a specified time in the past
  4. An action that was in progress at an unspecified time in the past
  5. A repeated act that occurred sometime in the past
  • I was drinking quite a bit, so I don’t remember much. - 4 (Because of this prior action in the past that was on-going (past continuous), this is why the person doesn't remember much presently)
  • Chloë was working at the fish and chip shop last year.- 5 (This is a past continuous action, that took place sometime last year) But this could also be 3? So I am not sure...
  • Alex was making notes in his book while Mark was working on his project. - 2 (This is because there are two actions that have taken place - past continuous)
  • The bully was always making fun of Peter, until he punched him on the nose.- 5 (This is past continuous, and a repeated action)
