🎥 Explorers: What Were You Doing?

A fully interactive A2.2 Kids grammar lesson that completes the past continuous paradigm through a detective game. Explorer Club masters learn to ask What-were-you-doing questions, form yes/no questions with was/were, give short answers (Yes, I was / No, I wasn't), and deny with wasn't and weren't + -ing. The language focus has three blocks: Questions with was/were (word order plus a question-words panel), Negatives (wasn't = was not, weren't = were not, with a subject table), and Short Answers (a quick-answer table). Ten detective words (detective, suspect, alibi, mystery, clue, prove, evidence, innocent, guilty, witness) appear in a scrollable table with kid-friendly definitions and examples, and six get review flashcards. The reading is a case file in which Detective Mia questions the team about a missing cookie — full of questions, negatives and short answers in context, with six hover-tooltip words. Practice offers eight contextualised fill-in-the-blank items (was/were, wasn't/weren't and -ing forms) with live green/red validation, hints and a running score. Speaking runs a detective-and-suspect alibi game with five prompts and a model six-line dialogue. The writing task asks learners to write their own alibi in 30–50 words using a question, was/were + -ing, one negative and a witness, with a live word counter and auto-save. A full eight-question quiz mixes past continuous questions and negatives with two reading-comprehension questions, offering a progress bar, per-question explanations, a result circle and localStorage persistence.
