“began to ring” or “started ringing”? It has to do with the tense in that my example uses past simple which is the most common form when referring to an action that was completed in the past. The OP is using past continuous which emphasizes the continuity of the action. Not that his method is incorrect grammatically it's merely a style choice and also depends on what he is trying to imply. Personally I just prefer more concise writing. |
