Question

Joey had been winding up to pitch when Gramps called for a time out.



What does the tense of the underlined verb reveal about the subject?

The event took place in the past continuously but concluded prior to another past event.
The event took place in the past continuously.
The event concluded prior to another past event.
The event has been completed.

Answer 1

I think the event took place in the past continuously and that's it. Because this event didn't conclude prior another one, but this was interrupted by another event in the past.
