| Re: past participle Roseta, "He was leaving" can be a possibility although you don't/wound't hear it that often. "He was left" is not correct as far as I'm concerned I would say "He has left or he is/has gone" Kind Regards |

Hi there! He was leaving is definitely correct. It's past continous tense whereas "He was left" is absolutely incorrect. He has gone is much better - present perfect tense. |
