Resposta:

→→  Past continuous

My friends and I were enjoying my birthday party when suddenly the lights went out. I thought that my brother was trying to scare everyone. I shouted  ‘Switch the lights on!’ but nothing happened. While we were waiting  in the darkness, somebody screamed. Suddenly, I felt scared.

Explicação:

⇒⇒ Past continuous - descreve ações que estavam acontecendo no passado ao mesmo tempo em que outro fato acontecia.

→ Estrutura do past continuous

Subject + Past to be (was - were) + verbo -ing + complemento

She was studying when she saw the dog.

Ela estava estudando quando ela viu o cachorro.

→ Estrutura past continuous - interrogativa

was / were + sujeito + verbo -ing + complemento

Were you playing soccer?

→ Estrutura past continuous - negativa

sujeito + was / were + not + verbo -ing + complemento

John was not running at the park.

⇒⇒ Simple past - regular verbs >> tempo verbal que indica algo que aconteceu no passado e não está mais acontecendo no presente.  

A maioria dos verbos em inglês são regulares e terminam sempre em ''ed'' quando estão no passado .  

happen     -    happened

scream     -     screamed

wait           -     waited
