Answer 2

Good afternoon! How are you?

Let complete this sentence!

When I ___ at the beach, some people ____ footvolley.

We need to know what each verb means

Arrived means "chegou" in Portuguese

Playing means "jogou" in Portuguese.

Agora, em Português, precisamos lembrar sobre o Simple Past. O Simple Past é utilizado quando sabemos quando aconteceu (tempo específico). Nesse caso, seria o tempo em que a pessoa ____ na praia.

Percebemos que o verbo que se encaixa seria o arrived. Então, eliminamos duas questões e temos a b) e a c).

Agora, precisamos ver como usamos o was/were com cada pronome

I - was

I - was/You - were

I - was/You - were/He - was

I - was/You - were/He - was/She - was

I - was/You - were/He - was/She - was/It - was

I - was/You - were/He - was/She - was /It - was/They - were

I - was/You - were/He - was/She - was/It - was/They - were/We - were

I - was/You - were/He - was/She - was /It - was/They - were/We - were/You - were

Percebemos que tinham algumas pessoas jogando footvolley. Então, como nos referimos? Com o pronome Eles (They). Então, de acordo com a norma culta e as regras gramaticais, seria a letra d).
