Past continuous

Unit of past continuous have short title. Hm... no full. No completed ... But the decription say that: Everyone was talking about the alligators.

Oh no, I didn't. Who did talk about it? I can enjoy with present continuous, but past continuous show me it: alligator, man who afraid it into the sewers. Hmmm .... 

Story about it show me what is cause. But question under set probability that this story is true. Wow. Difficult, maybe.

It's show that common use of past continuous is decripe past that include probability to be. Possible to explore it also for get right unswer. Yes it isn't old events that isn't possible to check.
