Question

choose the correct variant. 2 I walked/was walking past the Chemistry Room when the door opened/ was opening and a student ran/ was running out

Answer 1

Ответ:

Was walking,opened,ran

Answer 2

Both variants are grammatically correct, but they convey slightly different meanings:

1. "I walked past the Chemistry Room when the door opened and a student ran out."

This variant implies that the actions of walking, door opening, and the student running were happening in a sequence. The verbs "walked," "opened," and "ran" are in the simple past tense, indicating completed actions.

2. "I was walking past the Chemistry Room when the door was opening and a student was running out."

This variant suggests that the actions of walking, door opening, and the student running were happening simultaneously or overlapping. The verbs "was walking," "was opening," and "was running" are in the past continuous tense, indicating ongoing or interrupted actions in the past.

Both variants are correct, but the choice depends on the specific context and the intended emphasis on the sequence of events or the simultaneity of actions.
