ENGLISH MIDDLE SCHOOL

What is the tense of the underlined verb? I taught myself the capitals of all the states yesterday.







A.
past





B.
past perfect





C.
present





D.
future

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is A, past.

The verb taught is a past tense verb or a past participle. This automatically excludes C, present and D, future.

The choice is now between A and B. To form a past perfect you need the verb "to have" in the past, "had". Because there isn't an auxiliary verb here, it is in the past. It also helps to look at the word "yesterday", which shows us this is a past action but not that far in the past to be called a "past perfect".

Answer: D) Capulet is being teased by his wife.

In this scene, we are introduced to the conflict between the Montagues and the Capulets. Although the fight starts with two servants, we quickly see that the problems between the two families are serious and all-encompasing. In these lines, we see Capulet trying to get involved in the fight. However, Lady Capulet teases him by telling him that he is more likely to get use out of a crutch than out of a sword.
