There was a car by the ‘side of the road’. It had broken down and the ‘driver’ was trying to repair it. So, we stopped by to see if we could help.
Explanation:
- Since the sentence includes words that are in the past tense hence the past form of be is used which is 'was'.
- The past of stop is 'stopped' and can is 'could'. All these are added in the blanks.
- When two events are placed in such a way that one of the incidence in the past occurs before the other word, then past participle ‘form of the verb’ is to be used to refer to the earlier event.
- Hence the ‘past participle’ form of broke, 'had broken' is added to the statement.
