A test

Hello,

Which answer would be more correct 'Did' or 'was doing'? I have chosen 'was doing'.
Maybe 'did' is also possible?

Jane ___ really well until she realised he wasn't coming back.
Correct!

did
was doing



Thanks

Jane was doing really well until she realised he wasn't coming back. You can use the simple past, but the progressive is better - it gives the idea of an interrupted action.
