El sábado a las ocho de la noche, Eva _____ el diario del abuelo.

Question

Umm... so my school has a problem that says:
Fill in the correct imperfect progressive verb according to the table.

El sábado a las ocho de la noche, Eva ___|__ el diario del abuelo.

in a table of information, it says "leer el diario del abuelo." so what do I put in the blank? What is the imperfect progressive form of "leer"? I tried "
"El sábado a las ocho de la noche, Eva leía el diario del abuelo." but that's not right.

Answer 1

hey everybody, I got it figured out! Stupid me! jaja... It was "estaba leyendo"

Answer 2

I don't get it.

Answer 3

That's correct, Anthony, however, there is little difference between leía and estaba leyendo. The meaning I mean.
