Background Information

Last night, when I got home, my mom and my brother were having an argument about cleaning his bedroom. This seems to be a recurring issue, as my mom has always argued with him about the same thing when he lived at home.

Answer

1. In the first sentence, the correct verb forms to use are "was getting" and "was having." So the sentence should be: "When I was getting home last night, my mom was having an argument with my brother about cleaning his bedroom."

2. In the second sentence, the correct verb forms to use are "had lived" and "was always arguing." So the sentence should be: "I know the problem. When my brother had lived at home, my mom was always arguing with him about the same thing."

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!
