Hello, I am having some difficulties with this sentence and the right tense.
Is it correct to answer this question like this:
" Your phones was busy all day yesterday. Was there something wrong with is?
"Yes, a telecom engineer has been repairing it"
or should the answer be like that: Yes, a telcom engineer was repairing it.
thank you in advance
has been repairing/ was repairing/ is repairing

But there is a problem with your questionner:
"Your phones was busy all day yesterday. Was there something wrong with is?
"Your PHONE was busy all day yesterday. Was there something wrong with IT?"
"Your phones was busy all day yesterday. Was there something wrong with is?
"Your PHONE was busy all day yesterday. Was there something wrong with IT?"
