Let's fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verbs in parentheses using either the Past Simple or the Past Continuous tense.
Here's how we can complete the sentences:
-
A: Did you clean the attic?
B: Yes, and I came across my yearbook!
Explanation:
- In the first sentence, we use 'Did you clean' because it is a question about whether an action was completed in the past. The Past Simple is formed with 'did' + base form of the verb.
- In the second sentence, 'came across' is used because it describes a completed, sudden action or discovery in the past. It's a phrasal verb meaning 'found by chance'.
