Complete the sentences with the past continuous or past simple of the verb in brackets. 24 A scorpion came (come) slowly down the rope and its tail was straight out. - Correct! 25 Kino could see the men who sleep (sleep). *Since you are supposed to answer in the past, this is incorrect. I would use the past continuous: 25 Kino could see the men who were sleeping (sleep). 26 The little cry caming (come) again. *Past tense of come is came as you used above. The simple past works better here. The continuous past, was coming, doesn't make sense as the cry is not something you can sense before it happens and has basically an instantaneous duration. 26 The little cry came (come) again. 27 Kino jumped (jump) forward as the rifle fired - Correct! 28 Kino’s large knife cut (cut) through the man’s neck.- Correct! 29 He pulled (pull) the knife out of the man’s body.- Correct! Very good.
