Question

Choose the correct simple ast or past continuous form of the verb from the alternatives given.
I think I lost my money while I __________ in the park.

• A. ran
• B. were running
• C. run
• D. was running

Answer 1

The correct option is D was running

The statement is made in the Past continuous tense as the "past continuous tense" also known as the "past progressive tense" refers to a continuing action or state that was happening at some point in the past, and hasn't stopped yet.

Hence option D is the correct answer because 'was running ' is the right form of past tense used.

Option A is incorrect because it is in the past tense and not past continuous tense, while the statement that he lost his money while he was running means that he started running, and lost his money while he wads in action.

Option C is incorrect because it is not a verb.

Option B is incorrect because 'were' is used for a group of people, or as a plural.
