It was surprising that my brother came first in the spelling competition.
Explanation:
- In the given sentence instead of the subject the sentence begins with the pronoun 'it' followed immediately by the verb 'was'.
- Was is an auxiliary verb that helps the main verb. Here it denotes the past tense as the action has already been done. Was is used for mainly two cases-the passive and the continuous.
- In this case it signifies an action which is proceeding.
- The tense used will be past continuous. So the correct verb used will be 'surprising '.
