Which of the following sentences are correct?

1. Who was your friend before we met?
2. Who had been your friend before we met?
3, Who had being your friend before we met?

Thanks.

  

Top answer

#1 and #2 are both correct, but #1 is much more common. #3 is not a correct tense. #1 and #2 both imply that when you met, the friend ceased to be your friend.
