Question
We ............. when we decided to stop and rest. a) were driving b) had been driving c) have been driving d) have driven
Solution
The correct answer is b) had been driving.
This is because the action of driving had started and continued up to a certain point in the past, which is when they decided to stop and rest. The past perfect continuous tense (had been + verb-ing) is used to show that an action started in the past and continued up until another action in the past.
