What's your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What tense is the underlined verb in the sentence? Had you ever eaten green tomatoes before? A. past B. present perfect C. present D. past perfect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its past

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

What specifically is underlined...It doesn't show up on the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

had and eaten

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

It is past, but it is not just past tense. Past perfect tense is formed by taking the past participle of the word (eaten, in this case) and adding had to it. So, had eaten is past perfect.

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, do you think you could help me with more?

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

Sure :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What tense is the underlined verb in the sentence? I have taken the grocery bags out of the car already. A. future perfect B. present perfect C. past perfect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have and taken

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be past perfect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be past perfect?

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

Actually no. Past perfect only uses "had" as a helping verb, not have. Present perfect utilizes have

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

see above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so had is past and have is present?

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

yes

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

and future perfect is "will have"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What tense is the underlined verb in the sentence? We walk to the duck pond every Saturday morning. A. past B. present C. past perfect D. present perfect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be because there is not have?

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

it isn't a perfect tense because there is no helping verb.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 70%

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

hmm was it just on verbs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

70% is passing, isn't it? it's like a D- in my school. I know because I've gotten that in Latin 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not in my school

OpenStudy (leahhhmorgannn):

70% is technically a C in my school, which wouldn't be a passing grade in my family. Can you redo it?

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

Can you re post them?? I'm going for my great big verb cheat sheet.

OpenStudy (leahhhmorgannn):

I'll try to help, but I can't make any promises.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know what it was, it was because there was "Had" and i diddnt know at the time had was "Past Perfect"

OpenStudy (leahhhmorgannn):

So you've figured out one of them. How about the others, can you see where you went wrong there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which verb is in the present perfect progressive form? A. shall have been growing B. had been joking C. are listening D. has been sleeping

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are listening is what i put but that would just be present, and it asks for present perfect

OpenStudy (leahhhmorgannn):

I think it's A, actually.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nah,

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

has been sleeping

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which verb is in the future progressive form? A. is mowing B. has been fishing C. will have been diving D. will be trading

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

Should be D

OpenStudy (leahhhmorgannn):

^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you said c before

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have too much more to worry about this so lets just move on

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

okay.

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

I said D, on this one earlier, though. The way I learned it, it's future continuous, but it is also called future progressive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its alright, dont worry about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which words in the sentence are the complete noun clause? The big green parrot speaks to whoever comes into the house. A. into the house B. the big green parrot speaks to whoever C. whoever comes into the house D. the big green parrot speaks

OpenStudy (leahhhmorgannn):

you ARE able to redo these tomorrow, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If i ask the teacher then yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its alright

OpenStudy (leahhhmorgannn):

I wanna say C on this one, but I'm not too great at these.

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

okay, a noun clause is a clause that takes the place of the noun

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whoever comes into the house would be correct then right?

OpenStudy (geneticrockhopper247):

c appears to be a direct object, so I'm guessing that's right. I haven't done these in a while

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whoever comes into the house would be correct then right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whoever comes into the house would be correct then right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rock?
