The Bermuda Triangle

It was a sunny afternoon in 1945. Five American planes were flying over the sea near Florida. Everything was fine. Suddenly, the pilots sent a strange message to their controllers: "This is an emergency. We're lost".

"Fly west", the controllers said. The pilots sent this answer: "Everything is wrong, strange. We aren't sure of any direction. The sea looks different".

Then, the five planes disappeared. The pilots' last words were: "We are completely lost". The controllers sent another plane to look for the pilots. That plane disappeared too.

Soon, people were talking about the "Bermuda Triangle". Strange things happen in this part of the ocean. For example, an American ship called the USS Cyclops disappeared. There were 300 men on the ship. The weather was sunny. The ship did not send any messages. Where did it go? Nobody knows. The Bermuda Triangle is a mystery!

Ells estaven jugant a futbol.

Negative: Subject + wasn't / weren't + Verb (-ing)
Example: Mary wasn't reading a magazine
Na Maria no estava llegint una revista.

Interrogative: Was / were + Subject + Verb (-ing) ?
Example: Were my cousins dancing?
Els meus cosins estaven ballant?
