D. film begins​

Answer 1

Answer:

We were still standing in the queue when the film had begun.

Explanation:

1. A verb's proper form is determined by the word that comes before it, the sentence's tense, and the subject.
2. The majority of the English language's grammatical rules are covered by the proper verb tense.
3. The verb ultimately connects all sentence components.
4. Had is used in the past tense with any singular or plural nouns, including I, you, he, she, it, they, and we.
5. Here, since the film was already going on, it had started. So, we have used V3 form, that is ,past participle, of Begin to make the sentence meaningful.
