Question

The Railway Children

Answer 1

For the prompt, you have to explain how the passage is in past tense. In the last paragraph, you can tell it is in pass tense because it uses the words like “were” and “had” represent the time. If this was written in future tense, you would see words like “will” to represent future time. And lastly, this is not in present tense because the main character/ narrator would be telling the story as it goes. If there is not narrator then we would be able to tell if the tense was present if the main character was currently telling this is first, second, or third point of view.

I hope this helps!
