We use habe and past form for past continus right I haven’t seen “war” usage before in German
- German
Als du mich angerufen hast, habe ich gerade gefrühstückt.
This works too! :)
I used the verb:
dabei sein etwas zu tun
This verb is similar to the continuous form in English.
Ich bin gerade dabei zu frühstücken.
– I'm currently having breakfast.
Ich war gerade dabei zu frühstücken, als du mich angerufen hast.
– I was having breakfast when you called me.
