My son's teacher taught him that whenever he sees phrases like "all day yesterday", "all morning yesterday" or "all morning last week", use past continuous tense. Everything else is wrong. For example:
Peter ______ (study) all day yesterday.
Because of the expression "all day yesterday", the only correct answer is "was studying" and not just "studied". Is there any truth to his teacher's teaching?
