Which tense is suitable for this?

Answer:

The tense, most suitable for this is- Simple Past Tense

The car in front of us stopped suddenly because an old woman was across the road.

Explanation:

• We use verbs while speaking or writing to express actions, states of being, or relationships.

• English grammar is composed of 12 major verb tenses. Each of these tenses, generally speaking, identifies when something happened with reference to time.

• In the case of the simple past, we need to turn back the clock and look at things we did in days past.

• The simple past/past simple or past indefinite tense is the verb tense used to speak about things that happened or existed before now.

• The simple past tense shows that someone is talking about something that has already happened before now.

• This is used to talk about past events/activities that happened over a period of time, which means this tense emphasizes that the action is already finished.  

• We use the simple past tense to refer to actions or states that happened in the past and are finished and completed.

• For example, the sentence "The car in front of us stopped suddenly because an old woman was across the road." says that the car suddenly stopped because the old woman was across the road i.e. sometime in the past.

• Neither the car nor the old woman is there on the road right now.

• It is thus necessary to remember, the simple past tense only refers to events that were completely finished in the past.

Hence, the simple past tense is suitable here.
