Before we jump into our analysis, let's take a minute to review that oft-quoted last line, which is delivered by the story's narrator, Nick Carraway. The last line of Gatsby reads: “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
Hope this helps!!
Here we can observe that the verb used doesn't reflect the correct tense to express when this action took/is taking/will take place. There are many tenses where you could choose from, depending of the time of action:
Tenses: Simple, Progressive, Perfect, Perfect progressive
Times: Past, Present, and Future
Imagine all the combinations!
The simplest example we could make is if this action is a routine that happens continuously, the action verb (invite) is changed to simple present for the third person of singular (invites):
<span>Tommy, in an effort to maintain clowning's positive roots, invites dancers to weekly performance battles.</span>
Answer:
I was so late this morning. By the time I got to work, I missed the whole meeting.
Explanation:
The sentences are in past tense, so you need to change those words to past tense.
I was so late this morning. By the time I ...........(get) to work, I.........(miss) the whole meeting
Past tense of get is got and past tense of miss is missed.
I was so late this morning. By the time I got to work, I missed the whole meeting
Alliteration is the answer
