Question

when they (work) in the garden, the phone (ring).

Answer 1

When they were working in the garden, the phone rang.

• In the field of English grammar, we use the past continuous tense to reflection action that occurred in the past with reference to another action which occurred later in the past.
• In the sentence above, as working in the garden is the first action that occurred in the past with reference to another action of the past i.e phone ringing. Hence, we will use the past continuous tense in the first blank.
• As the second action occurs in the past after the first action, hence the second action will be in the simple past tense.
• Thus, the blanks wills be filled by 'were working' and 'rang'.
