Jawaban:

Penjelasan:
uhh gimana ya
rumus sentence past continous tense itu:
Subject + was/were (to be lampau) + Verb-ing + Object
di soalnya ada 2 kalimat yang disatukan oleh konjungsi, contohnya di nomor 1 : (Emmy was driving to work) + When (She saw the accident).
kalau diartikan secara langsung jadi : (Emmy 'tadi' sedang mengendarai mobil ke kantornya) + Ketika (Dia melihat kecelakaan tersebut).
kenapa di kalimat kedua (she saw the accident) aku pakai 'was'?
Karena menurutku kurang logis jika kedua kalimat menggunakan verb-ing. jika diterjemahkan akan sedikit aneh.
-> Emmy was driving to work when she was seeing the accident. artinya jadi : Emmy 'tadi' sedang* mengendarai mobil ke kantornya ketika dia sedang* melihat kecelakaan tersebut.
Masa iya Emmy mengendarai mobil sambil menonton kecelakaan secara bersamaan?
