English Tense Tense Question #5899 (CAT-I)

He ______ his car when I saw him yesterday.

A repairs
B was repairing
C had repaired
D repaired
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option B
• This sentence describes an ongoing action in the past ('repairing his car') that was interrupted or observed at a specific point in the past ('when I saw him yesterday'). • This scenario requires the Past Continuous Tense. • The structure for Past Continuous Tense is Subject + was/were + V1-ing + Object. • 'He' is a singular subject, so 'was repairing' is the correct form.
