Question

While I was going to the market, I _____ my friend.

• A. met
• B. have met
• C. had met
• D. meet

Answer 1

Answer:

A. met

While I was going to the market, I met my friend. / ഞാൻ മാർക്കറ്റിൽ പോകുമ്പോൾ എൻ്റെ സുഹൃത്തിനെ കണ്ടു. In the given sentence, "While I was going to the market," the past continuous tense ("was going") is used to describe an action that was ongoing in the past. Therefore, the subsequent verb (തുടർന്നുള്ള ക്രിയ) should be in the simple past tense to maintain grammatical consistency. "Met" is the correct form of the verb in the simple past tense, indicating that the meeting with the friend occurred during the ongoing action of going to the market.
