a. choose the correct answer. 1- when we were young, we .......... a mile to school every day.
The correct answer is: walked.
Correct sentence
When we were young, we walked a mile to school every day.
Why “walked” is correct
- The phrase “when we were young” shows we are talking about the past.
- We also have “every day” , which shows a habitual action in the past.
- For a past repeated habit, we use the past simple :
- we walked a mile to school every day.
Why the other options are wrong
If the choices are:
- walk
- walked
- walking
Then:
- walk → present tense, does not match “when we were young”.
- walking → participle (used in continuous forms like “were walking”), but here we need a main verb in past simple, not a continuous form.
Do you want a brief explanation of how to talk about habits in the past using past simple vs “used to” vs “would”?
