Answer 2

When I first met him, he worked in a restaurant.

• To determine the correct form of the tense we have to see the below facts-
• The first phrase "when I first met him" is talking about the past thing.
• So, the sentence should be in the past tense.
• So, the verb in the second phase should be in the past tense. Thus the past form of work that is worked is used.
• The sentence can be written as-
• When I first met him, he worked in a restaurant.
