Question
Mark the correct form of the verb. I _________ the book when suddenly I ________ a noise.a.Read – Was hearingb.Was reading – Was hearingc.Was reading – Heardd.Reading – Hearde.Read – Heard
Solution
The correct form of the verb is "Was reading – Heard" (option c). This is because the first action (reading the book) is a continuous action in the past, hence "was reading" is used. The second action (heard a noise) is a simple past action that happened suddenly while the first action was going on, hence "heard" is used.
