need your help please:

Last Sunday, Sean ( ) his little brother for a stroll when he saw a cat on a tree.
1. took
2. is taking
3. am taking
4. was taking
which one is correct, 1 or 4?
Thanks!

Hmmm... both look correct.... lemme think.....

I'm guessing that \"took\" is the correct answer as \"was taking\" implies that the action of taking him has not yet been completed. However, it is. Thus, \"took\" is the more apt answer...

hope that helps

My take on this is \"was taking\".

Sean's action of taking his little brother for a stroll was not completed yet when it was interrupted by another action - him seeing a cat on a tree.

[mother777]

yup, I also agree on "was taking".

Hi,

I'm new here. I need help on S&T. Could someone kindly help me on the following question?

Q: \"I am leaving for London tomorrow morning,\" Shermaine told her mother.

Shermaine told her mother that she would be leaving for London the next morning.

or

Shermaine told her mother that she was leaving for London the next morning.

Which one is correct?

Thank you.

The first sentence. As \"was\" from the second sentence means that she had already left for London and came back.
