Hi again.
Could you help me solve these exercises, please?
I have to join these sentences with the words in brackets and using the correct form of these tenses : Past Perfect, Past Simple, and Past Continuous

1. The bell rang. They woke up. (when)
My Answer: They woke up when the bell was ringing.


2. She didn't tell the children. Their father went to prison. (that)
My Answer: She didn't tell the children that their father went to prison.


3.The judge didn't sentence the teenager. She listened to the evidence. (until)
My Answer: no idea !!!

Can I use these words "when", "that", and "until" while I'm using Past Perfect tense?
