Holden goes to Central Park in New York City, and sits by the frozen pond where, in the Spring, the ducks would be swimming. He is despondent, having left the hotel because of his confrontation with Maurice. He sits there thinking that he could get pneumonia and die.

He starts to think about his death and his funeral, who would attend, then he remembers that his mother is still mourning the loss of her son, Allie. The thought of his sister Phoebe being sad at his death is what stops Holden from staying in the park and freezing to death.

It is his love for his sister that keeps Holden from committing suicide

What are the tense and voice of the italicized verb in the following sentence? Your sister had gone when we arrived. past passiv
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Past perfect tense.

Explanation:

Supposing that the italicized verb is <u><em>had gone</em></u>, then the tense is past perfect tense.

This past perfect tense is an action that has happened sometime in the past but before something new has happened. In the sentence, the word "gone" is the third form of the verb, thus making it a past tense. Then, the use of the word "had" which is the past tense form of the verb "to have" shows it is the "perfect" form of the verb.

Thus, the whole sentence "<em>Your sister had gone when we arrived.</em>" is in the  "past perfect tense".
