Choose the correct form (past progressive or simple past) in the sentence. When the robbers got/were getting on the train, the guard slept/was sleeping
-
Got / slept
-
Were getting / slept
-
Got / was sleeping
-
Were getting / was sleeping
Correct Answer
A. Got / was sleepingExplanation
The correct answer is "got / was sleeping". In this sentence, we are talking about two actions that were happening simultaneously in the past. The action of the robbers getting on the train is a shorter action that interrupts the ongoing action of the guard sleeping. Therefore, we use the past progressive form "was sleeping" to show that the guard's action was already in progress when the robbers got on the train. The simple past form "got" is used to indicate the action of the robbers getting on the train.Rate this question:
