Answer 1

Hey mate here's ur answer ➡➡➡➡➡➡➡
D) burnt

Tom *burnt* his hand when he was cooking the dinner.

Answer 2

Answer:

The appropriate answer is "burnt."

Explanation:

To show that a longer activity in the past was interrupted, we utilised the past continuous.

Usually, the interruption is a brief action from the recent past.

There may or may not actually be an interruption here.

An interruption that lasts for a shorter time is a burning hand. Therefore, this activity will use past indefinite.

Given that they are in the present tense, options A and B are immediately disqualified.

Conclusion:

The accurate sentence is "Tom burnt his hand when he was cooking the dinner."
