Question

Tap the sentence that uses the correct verb forms in the past tense.

• A. When my sister and I have been growing up, both of us idolise Melissa Hurt.
• B. When my sister and I were growing up, both of us idolised Melissa Hurt.

Answer 1

The correct option is B When my sister and I were growing up, both of us idolised Melissa Hurt.

Here ‘idolised’ is the main event, so it is in simple past tense where as ‘were growing up' is the background event, so it is in the past continuous tense.
