Question

Choose the correct simple past or past continuous form of the verb from the alternatives given.
Every morning Gandhiji ________ for a walk.

• A. went
• B. is going
• C. was going
• D. gone

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

went

Here, 'went' in simple past tense is correct because it indicates an action that has already been completed. This form can be used with or without adverb of time.

'Is going' in present continuous is incorrect because it implies an action going on at the time of speaking.

'Was going' in past continuous is incorrect because it is used to indicate uncompleted action in the past (with or without time reference).

'Gone' is grammatically incorrect.
