Did You Know?

The correct answer is 'WERE HAVING'. This is PAST CONTINUOUS tense. We use past continuous for actions that were in progress when another action happened. Structure: was/were + verb-ing. Example: 'I was sleeping when the phone rang.' The longer action (having dinner) was interrupted by the shorter action (arrived). This tense combination is very common in storytelling.
