Chimp said, "I have visited/was visiting Hippo when I decided to come by to see you.
Which verb is correct or is neither? If neither what is the correct verb?
Many thanks.
Was visiting. It was while this was happening that Chimp decided to visit me. We use the past progressive when actions were in progress while or when another thing happened or at a certain time.
Peter was reading a book yesterday evening.
