Question

He kept me waiting or he kept me waited ... which is
correct one ???

Answer 1

The correct answer is, " He kept me waiting".

Explanation:

1. The above sentence is in the past continuous tense.

2. We use it to say what we were in the middle of doing at a particular moment in the past.

3. The Past Continuous tense expresses action at a particular moment in the past.

4. The action started before that moment but has not finished at that moment.

5. We often use the Past Continuous tense to "set the scene" in stories. We use it to describe the background situation at the moment when the action begins.

Answer 2

The correct sentence is He kept me waiting.

In the above solution, we see the usage of the past continuous tense.

• Tenses are words that signify or portray the time or tenure of an activity, event, or phenomenon.
• For example, It rained yesterday. Here, the word 'rained' is in the simple past tense.
• By this, we understand that the phenomenon or event that is being spoken about has already ended and thus, is in the past.
