Question

Fill in the blank with the correct form of the word:

While the doctor ..................(examine-correct form of verb) the patient, there was an uproar in the hall.

Answer 1

A word used to describe an action, state or occurrence which forms the main part of the predicate, in a sentence is a verb. In this sentence we would understand the usage of verbs. This sentence is in the continuous past tense. Thus, the verb would be “was examining”.
