Until
Hello, I found the following sentence: They cleaned the shoes until they shone. I was wondering whether we could also use past progressive in this sentence, e.g. Could we also say They were cleaning the shoes until they shone? or They were cleaning the shoes until they were shining?

They are all possible within appropriate contexts, but you have not presented the context within which you found the original sentence, so I cannot say whether your alternative sentences might be possible there.
