Answer the questions.....
In which sentence did two things happen at almost the same time ?------> B
In which sentence did one thing happen before another ? ------------> A
Grammar spot
When two things happens almost at the same time we use the past simple
tense in both sentences.
When one thing happens before another, we use the past perfect tense for the second event.
