Question

......... for a bus when I saw you last night?

• A. were you waiting
• B. waiting
• C. was waiting
• D. had you waiting

Answer 1

Answer:

A. were you waiting

• "Were you waiting" is the correct choice because the sentence is asking a question in the past continuous tense, which describes an action that was ongoing at a specific time in the past (കാരണം വാക്യം past continuous tenseൽ ഒരു ചോദ്യം ചോദിക്കുന്നു, അത് pastൽ ഒരു പ്രത്യേക സമയത്ത് നടന്നുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്ന ഒരു പ്രവർത്തനത്തെ വിവരിക്കുന്നു).
• "Were you waiting for a bus when I saw you last night?" / ഇന്നലെ രാത്രി ഞാൻ നിന്നെ കണ്ടപ്പോൾ നീ ബസ് കാത്തിരിക്കുകയായിരുന്നോ?
• "Waiting": This is just the verb in its present participle form, and it doesn’t fit grammatically as it doesn't form a proper question.
• "Was waiting": This would be correct in a statement like "I was waiting for a bus when I saw you," but it doesn't work in a question.
• "Had you waiting": This implies that someone else made you wait, but it doesn’t fit the structure or meaning intended in this sentence.
