Meera Rana answered |
The simple past (also called past simple, past indefinite) is a verb tense which is used to show that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past. The simple past is also frequently used to talk about past habits and generalizations. The simple past is formed using the verb + ed. Questions are made with did and negative forms are made with did not.
Since, we are talking about an action which has happened in the past, we will be using simple past tense. The verb here is "laugh" thus the simple past tense is laughed

Explanation:
The correct answer to the given sentence is "was riding". Let's break down the sentence and analyze each part to understand why this answer is correct.
Subject:
The subject of the sentence is "I", which refers to the person who is performing the action.
Verb:
The verb used in the sentence is "ride", which means to travel on a bicycle.
Tense:
The given sentence talks about an action that happened in the past. To indicate the past continuous tense, the verb "ride" needs to be conjugated accordingly.
Past Continuous Tense:
The past continuous tense is used to describe an ongoing action that was happening in the past. It is formed by using the past tense of the auxiliary verb "be" (in this case, "was") followed by the present participle of the main verb (in this case, "riding").
Usage:
In the given sentence, the action of riding the bike was ongoing or continuous in the past. The person rode their bike for the entire day, indicating a continuous action. Therefore, the past continuous tense "was riding" is the correct form to use in this context.
Alternative Options:
Here are some alternative options and their explanations:
- "rode": This is the simple past tense of the verb "ride". However, it does not convey the continuous nature of the action that was happening throughout the day.
- "have ridden": This is the present perfect tense of the verb "ride". It indicates an action that started in the past and has a connection to the present. However, it does not convey the continuous nature of the action.
- "had ridden": This is the past perfect tense of the verb "ride". It indicates an action that happened before another past action. However, it does not convey the continuous nature of the action.
In conclusion, the correct answer is "was riding" as it accurately represents the continuous action of riding the bike throughout the day in the past.

The present perfect tense refers to an action that began at some time in the past and is still in progress.
House is singular, and it's still painted green from the past 10 years. So, the answer is D :)

Since the verb is read, all you have to do is find the right tense in this question. "The lights went out" indicates that you need to use it in the past tense. Without the use of a support word, in the case of "was done reading" ("done" is the support word), we can't keep the sentence grammatically correct. So we're only left with the past continuous form, 'was reading'.

"Start" Is the correct answer here.
Unless we start now, we can't be there on time.
Rule: Here, "we" is plural noun and according to" subject- verb aggrement", plural verb should be used with plural noun.

Plural verb means that the verb does not take -s/es as the marker.
