Can someone explain why this is wrong?
The tenses are aligned in Russian, so they should be aligned in English as well while you’re jumping between Past Progressive and Past Simple.
I believe the problem is not in Russian, but in English grammar. Connecting past continuous and simple past with «and» seems to be wrong
Думала- was thinking
Подумала — thought
thought — подумал (один раз)
thinking — думать (продолжительное время)
Think of думала as a past tense. Most words with a л at the end tend to be past tense. Obviously not absolutely every time but most.
I often find that duo is also trying to teach me english in addition to russian 😂
The sentence is about the process of thinking, so both verbs are in Past Continuous.
Because Duolingo
Is “I looked through the window and thought about children” wrong?
Duolingo is being a bit picky
