Past simple or past continuous?

Please log in or register to add a comment.

The first one is more natural if you are referring to an action that was in progress at 8 o'clock. But it is not possible to omit the subject in English, pronoun " I " in this case.

If you are referring to an action that was concluded before 8 o'clock, you should use Past Perfect and a different preposition, " by 8 o'clock" in this case.

E.g.: I had finished my homework by 8 o'clock last night.

Both sentences are syntactically incorrect, i.e. the word order is not respected. 

You have two options: 1) to use a comma for emphasis: At 8 o'clock last night , I was doing my homework; 2) to put the whole adverbial phrase after the object: I was doing my homework at 8 o'clock last night .

Another possibility: 'Every evening while doing my homework I play some of my favourite tapes'. I like LouisaB's second option better, though.

Will I get caught if I buy an essay?

The most popular question from clients and people on the forums is how not to get caught up in the fact that you bought an essay, and did not write it yourself. Students are very afraid that they will be exposed and expelled from the university or they will simply lose their money, because they will have to redo the work themselves.

If you've chosen a good online research and essay writing service, then you don't have to worry. The writers from the firm conduct their own exploratory research, add scientific facts and back it up with the personal knowledge. None of them copy information from the Internet or steal ready-made articles. Even if this is not enough for the client, he can personally go to the anti-plagiarism website and check the finished document. Of course, the staff of the sites themselves carry out such checks, but no one can forbid you to make sure of the uniqueness of the article for yourself.

Thanks to the privacy policy on web platforms, no one will disclose your personal data and transfer to third parties. You are completely safe from start to finish.

Milwaukee is playing host to the first Republican primary debate on Wednesday night.

By Maggie Astor

  • Published Aug. 22, 2023 Updated Aug. 23, 2023

The first Republican primary debate of the 2024 presidential race will be held tonight from 9 to 11 p.m. Eastern. The debate, taking place in Milwaukee, is sanctioned by the Republican National Committee and hosted by Fox News. Here are some of the ways you can watch it.

Fox News Channel will broadcast the event, with live coverage starting at 8 p.m. Eastern — an hour before the debate itself — and running past midnight.

Fox Business Network will broadcast the same coverage simultaneously.

The face-off will be streamed at FoxNews.com and on Fox Nation, which is Fox News Channel’s subscription streaming platform.

The online streaming platform Rumble will also show the debate, as an official R.N.C. partner.

Which candidates will be onstage?

As of the official qualification deadline Monday evening, eight candidates had made the stage. They are Gov. Doug Burgum of North Dakota, former Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, former Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina, former Gov. Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas, former Vice President Mike Pence, the entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina.

When will they start taking questions?

Immediately, according to the debate guidelines. There are no opening statements.

What about Trump?

Donald J. Trump, the clear front-runner for the nomination, plans to skip the debate . He has, instead, recorded an interview with the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson . They plan to post the interview on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, concurrently with the debate, according to a person with knowledge of the planning.

Mr. Trump’s decision to record an interview with Mr. Carlson to be released while his rivals share a stage was a slap in the face to both the R.N.C., whose leadership tried hard to persuade him to participate in the debate, and to Fox News, which is hosting the debate and fired Mr. Carlson earlier this year.

Who is moderating the debate?

The debate will be moderated by two Fox News hosts, Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. Mr. Baier has previously moderated Republican debates in 2015 and 2016, and he and Ms. MacCallum led a town-hall event with Mr. Trump in 2020.

What issues are the candidates likely to focus on?

The candidates will undoubtedly be asked about Mr. Trump and the four criminal indictments against him. Other topics of discussion could include inflation, immigration and border security, foreign-policy issues like the situations in Ukraine and China, and abortion. Here is where the candidates stand on those issues and more.

Let us know here what you hope the moderators will ask .

The Run-Up to the 2024 Election

The G.O.P. Field

Ron DeSantis:  A racially motivated shooting and an impending storm provide the most serious tests of the Florida governor’s leadership  since he began running for president.

Vivek Ramaswamy:  The 38-year-old entrepreneur says he has a plan to fix what ails millennials, but many of his positions are out of step with those voters .

Nikki Haley:  Several Republican donors singled out the former South Carolina governor as one of the standouts from the first G.O.P. debate. But will her performance translate into dollars ?

Francis Suarez:  The Miami mayor dropped out of the race  after falling short of the requirements to participate in the Republican debate.

Donald Trump

The judge overseeing the election subversion case against the former president in Washington set a March 4 trial date, putting his trial right in the heart of primary season .

Trump’s decision to sit out the G.O.P. debate and instead do a pretaped interview  with the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson was a tactical one.

President Biden

With much of his racial equity agenda thwarted by Congress or the courts, Biden is looking for new ways to energize Black voters .

The appointment of a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden means the president could face political fallout for months to come .
