Question

Fill in the blank with the correct form of the past tense of the verb given in the brackets.

She replied that she ___ (feel) better.

• A. felt
• B. feeling
• C. was feeling
• D. feel

Answer 1

The correct option is C was feeling

Option C is the correct answer because the statement is in the past tense, so it is correct to use ‘was feelimg’ as ‘was’ is the past tense of ‘is’.

Option A is incorrect because ‘felt’ would mean that she replied that she felt better only before and not anymore.

Option B is incorrect because ‘feeling’ is in the present tense while the statement is in the past tense.

Option D is incorrect because ‘feel’ is to experience something, and is used in the present tense while the statement is in the past tense.
