3. Complete the second sentence so that it means the same as the first. Use NO MORE THAN THREE words.
Before I watched the film, I finished my homework.When I _____ my homework, I watched the film.

Explanation

The correct answer is "had finished". This is because the sentence is in the past tense and the word "before" indicates that the action of finishing the homework happened before the action of watching the film. Therefore, to maintain the same meaning in the second sentence, we need to use the past perfect tense "had finished" to show that the action of finishing the homework was completed before the action of watching the film.
