Correct use of Sit, Was sitting, Was sitting, Was seated in English sentence.

I

didn’t offer my pregnant friend’s driver’s seat and after a few hours I got the police officer’s seat near the time I told her she might get pregnant. After the departure from Bushan, my friend asked

me a few questions. “Do you know why my friend didn’t give me a seat?

a) Upon seeing the pregnant woman’s name on the bus, I didn’t offer my seat, but I sat on the last seat of the bus to avoid disturbance. At that time I was not charged with anything other than a violation.

Does someone offer their seat on a bus?

I did not offer my seat to an in-bus pregnant girl because I am seated on the last seat in the bus.

The woman has had a couple of weeks to catch her a week before the bus stops and it, after they’re the last class, is holding out her seat again, so she should drive away.

You can turn one of the options b by going to the lower right. Because here, you want to describe the verb that caused its effects throughout the event. If the past tense is used instead of continuous, it’s meant that you sat only for one spot or time, the event was then over and the conversation was over. While sitting on the seat you did not offer the seat to you. You want to explain that as you

were sitting you were sitting, on the last seat, you did not offer the seat.

When the pregnant woman got on the bus, you didn’t offer her a seat (bad you) and she slipped off. I read a simple past which describes the morning lady getting onto a bus.

When a lady got onto the bus, she brought a huge quantity of stickers around.

If there’s a second event, you’d use simple past: I sat

down to hear the lady getting on the bus.

If you were in the middle of doing something when the first event occurred, you would use past continuous:

I was sitting when the lady got onto the bus.

In your example, you were in the middle doing something (sitting) when you decided not to offer your seat to the pregnant lady (the real thing) who has not started to dress up. Take your seat and explain why. Option b) is therefore correct.

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, seated can be used as an adjective meaning sitting right, so option c) is also correct.

Option a) is not appropriate because it would be taken in this context to refer to a single event.


When I was at school, I sat next to Claire Johnson. I have done this since 1996. I know that the person

who provided the information is the classic craze of simple past in the world, and I can use it within a simple past.

A situation that went on for some specified time. I sat next

to Claire all evening. (Spoilers not invited)

What are some tips?
