why we use were going?

Answer: we have used were going because the sentence is in present continuous tense,

so here in this sentence they were going to school when the storm broke ,so they were going represents that the sentence is in present continuous tense.

Answer 2

Explanation:

It is past Continuous tense so we use the verb form go+ing= going. They means plural form and the sentence was in past form so we will use Were, because it is past form. If it was in present form then we can use are. But in this sentence past form is used, it is because we will use "were going".
