Hi guys,

Is it correct English to say:

"He rang the doorbell at 7 am, but I was busy and did not open the door for him. So, he left a couple of minutes later"?

I am not sure if I could use the verb "ring" here.

Thanks

Hello,

Using "rang" is correct in this sentence since you are talking in the past tense.
