Question

grammar tests. they... each other for a long time before they finally decided to get married A) had been known b)had known .choose the correct answer

Answer 1

Answer:

B) had known

Explanation:

Plugin the answers into the sentence to see if it makes sense.

They had been known each other for a long time before they finally decided to get married, it doesn't sound right so you can eliminate that answer and choose the other one.

They had known each other for a long time before they finally decided to get married sounds grammatically correct.

Also saying the words out loud helps as well.

Hope I helped :)

Answer 2

Answer: B, “had known”
answer choice A just doesnt make any sense because of the “been”
