Question

The geese built their nests in the same places as last year. Which tense is this? a present b past c future d present perfect

Answer 1

Answer:

The tense in the sentence is:

b. past

Explanation:

More specifically, it is the Simple Past tense. This tense is used to talk about actions that took place at a specific time in the past. This action started and finished in the past, not continuing until the present. In the sentence we are analyzing here, the verb is "built", which is the past form of "build". "Build" is an irregular verb, which means its past and past participle forms do not follow the general rule. Regular verbs, on the other hand, receive -d, -ed, or -ied to form the past - for example: dance --> danced.
