Answer 2

1. forgot- Simple past tense
2. was coughing- Past continuous tense.

• We were supposed to find out the tense of the verbs used in the sentences.
• Simple past tense is used in a sentence when we want to demonstrate that a particular task has already been finished in the past.
• While past continuous tense can be recognised when it is the form of "was + verb-ing".
