While erfordert hier past progressive, da diese Handlung zum Erzählzeitpunkt gerade ablief.

Dies sind die richtigen Formen. Wenn Dir eine (oder mehrere) nicht klar ist/sind, schreib zurück. Dann erkläre ich es gerne.
Bei Satz 2 das ‚had‘ ist etwas strittig. Im gesprochenen Englisch würde es niemand gebrauchen, aber es kann sein, dass es in einem Grammatiktest gebraucht werden muss.
Nette Grüße von Anne
Hallo, ich habe nochmal nachgelesen. Im zweiten Satz wäre es wohl korrekter, das ‚had‘ zu benutzen. (Past Perfect oder simple Past bei ‚before‘ ist eine etwas komplizierte Frage.
zwar würde ich dir gerne helfen; da ich allerdings nicht sicher sein kann, dass ich dir mit dem Ausfüllen des Lückentextes mehr als nur helfe, muss ich dir leider absagen.
