Which movie have you watched on television when I called you?

A

are you watching

B

No substitution required

C

did you watched

D

were you watching

Solution

the correct option is option D

when one action is continuously happening in past and second happens in between at a time

then the continuous part comes in past continuous tense and the interrupting second action comes in past indefinite tense.

so have you watched should be replaced with​​​​​​ were you watching.
