- My brother _______ (to look for) a job for 2 months before they _______ (to employ) him.
Question 1:
My brother _______ (to look for) a job for 2 months before they _______ (to employ) him. A. had looked for / employed
B. was looking for / had employed
C. looked for / employed
D. had been looking for / employed
Feedback The action in the first part (had been looking for) took place before the action in the second one (employed). Another important moment is that the speaker focuses on the process rather than the action (for 2 months). That is why we use the Past Perfect Continuous in the first part.
