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: Julie passed all her exams.
B: Yes, I know. She told me the good news while we were having lunch.
Explanation:
- In the first sentence, we use 'passed' because it indicates a completed action in the past - Julie successfully completing her exams.
- In the second sentence, 'told' is used because it is a completed action that occurred at a specific time. 'Were having' is used because it describes an action in progress (having lunch) when another action (telling the news) occurred.
