| Answer | 3 |
| a | came / saw / seemed / went |
| b | had come / had seen / seemed / had gone |
| c | came / saw / seemed / had gone |
| d | was coming / saw / had seemed / had gone |
| comment | We use the Past Simple Tense when we talk about actions which happened one after the other in the past: came - saw - seemed. 'Before' shows us that the last action happened some time earlier than actions in the first part. The Past Perfect helps us carry out this idea. |
