Because Cole wears a helmet when he struck on the head by a falling coconut ten years ago, he has escaped serious injury in that episode
the corrected sentence is as follows:
Because Cole was wearing a helmet when he was struck on the head by a falling
coconut ten years ago, he escaped serious injury in that episode.
My confusion is, why are we using past progressive form in the first part? Cole was not actually performing the act of 'wearing' the helmet. he was simply equipped with a helmet.
My take :
Because Cole wore a helmet when he was struck on the head by a falling
coconut ten years ago, he escaped serious injury in that episode.
Somebody plz explain.
