Hi,
Two days ago I read this sentence in my grammar book; the exercise required me to use either the Simple Past or the Past continuous and warned me that
each sentence contained both. I had problem with this sentence
I...............(break) my leg when I .........................(climb) the mountain
Is it possible to have simple past and past continuous in this sentence?
After WHEN I would write a Simple Past, but I cannot understand if it is possible to write a Past Continuous in the first part!!??????
I would use Simple Past in both parts:
I broke my leg when I climbed the mountain
Please tell me your opinion..
Thanks.
