Did I not show you/wasn’t I showing you?
Hello.
You never show me that you like me.
My friend: Did I not show you when I drove you around, help you move etc..
Should it be “was I not showing you” or is “Did I not show you” alright?
2.scenario:
What happened last night? Nothing.
Did he not tell you that he likes you? I don’t know he did not confess his love, he simply said that he likes spending time with me.
“Maybe he confessed/ was confessing his love when he said that?”
I don’t know.
Is “was confessing” or “confessed” better in this example?
