Elle ___ de partir quand le téléphone a sonné.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. venait

  1. Step 1: 'Venir de' plus an infinitive means to have just done something. Step 2. In a past setting the verb is in the imparfait: 'venait de partir'. Answer: venait. Why not the others: present, future and passé composé do not give the 'just' meaning in the past.
