Esse tempo verbal é utilizado para descrever uma situação que estava em andamento, sendo executada, em algum momento do passado. O texto a seguir, que apresenta informações sobre a vida do ator Matt Damon, contém construções nesse tempo verbal. Leia o texto e avalie as informações que seguem: No easy path to success Today Matt Damon is one of Hollywood’s most famous movie stars. But in the early 1990s he was struggling to be a success, and, over the years, life has not always been easy. In 1996, he had to lose 40 pounds for his role as a drug-addicted soldier in Courage under Fire. While he was dieting, he became ill and had to take medication for several years afterwards. In 2000, he cracked a rib while he was playing golf in The Legend of Bagger Vance. Then, 12 years after losing weight for Courage under Fire, he had to gain 30 pounds to play a businessman in The Informant. Matt grew up in Massachusetts in the U.S. and started acting while he was still a student. He was studying English at Harvard University when he got a part in the movie Geronimo: An American Legend. When he heard the good news, he immediately dropped out of Harvard, hoping that Hollywood would take notice of him. It didn’t. It wasn’t until he won an Oscar with his friend, Ben Affleck, for Good Will Hunting in 1997 that Hollywood began to show interest. After excellent performances in The Talented Mr. Ripley, Saving Private Ryan, and Ocean’s 11, he was offered the lead role in 2002 as the assassin Jason Bourne in The Bourne Identity. From then on, his career moved in one direction only—upward. Disponível em: . Acesso em 9 de jun. 2017 (adaptado).
