Question

Identify the tense of the italicized verb in the sentence below.

Answer 1

Answer:

Present perfect

Explanation:

The tense of the italicized verb 'have moved' would be present perfect as it denotes a past event/action having its present consequences. Present perfect tense primarily functions to express the actions that took place before now at an unspecified time. It combines the present(through use of 'have') and past(by showing perfection or completion of the action 'moved') and that's how it signals the association between the past and the present. Thus, the use of 'have' followed by past participle signals that present perfect tense is employed in the sentence.
