  • Anonymous Everything went wrong until he came.
  • Everything was going wrong until he came.
  • The second one is fine.
  • I have a problem with the first one, but it may well be correct.
  • "Everything went wrong before he came" seems less offensive.

"Everything went wrong before he came" seems less offensive.
