Answer:

Natasha had <u>been waiting</u> for half an hour before her friend arrived.

Explanation:

The tense we are looking for here is the past perfect continuous. It shows that an action that started in the past continued up until another moment or action in the past. In this particular sentence, we have two actions: Natasha waiting, followed by her friend arriving. As both actions took place in the past, one before the other, we have to use the combination of the past perfect (in this case continuous) and past (simple) tense.

Construction of the past perfect continuous tense: had been + the verb's present participle (root + -ing).

Mistak in " the cake is smelling sweet"​
AURORKA [14]

Explanation:

The sentence should be "The cake smells sweet." or "The cake is smelling sweet." The sentence is missing punctuation and capitalizing the beginning letter in the sentence. I would also prefer the first sentence as it has more consistency.
