Question

Which verb form correctly completes the sentence?

I saw an eensy-weensy spider as it __________ up the waterspout.

A.
is climbing

B.
has climbed

C.
climbs

D.
climbed

Answer 1

So, what makes sense?

Answer 2

a or c

Answer 3

So, to help you, this is a DOUBLE SENTENCE. I call it that to make it make sense. So, the first part of this double sentence is "I saw an eensy-weensy spider." The second part is "It __________ up the waterspout." And, the connecter is "as."

The two parts are like a married couple. They still have the same tense, or last name.

So, if the first tense part is "I saw," which choice has the same tense?

Answer 4

ok i think its c

Answer 5

So, "saw" means you are currently seeing something?

Answer 6

what are you talking about

Answer 7

You said it is C. C is "clims". That means currently climbing. Since each part of a sentence is the same tense, and these things are currently happening, then "saw" must mean currently seeing, right?

Doesn't make much sense, does it?

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

Answer 21

Okay, let's just walk through this.
____________________________________________________________________________
Here's the problem:

I saw an eensy-weensy spider as it __________ up the waterspout.


So, if you take "it __________ up the waterspout" and turn it into a sentence, it will work. Same with "I saw an eensy-weensy spider." But the word "as" shows that they are in the same sentence.

If you don't understand, imagine a room that two people share. Even though they are two different people, they are in one room. So they have to follow the same rules and actually consider one another.

In this sentence, two sentences are placed into one. They have to follow the same rules and CONSIDER ONE ANOTHER.

What do I mean? Well, these sentences have to share the same VERB TENSE. See these to know what verb tense is:

Past tense verbs| RAN, SAW, LIKED, HEALED
Present tense verbs| RUN, SEE, LIKE, HEAL
Present Progressive verbs | IS RUNNING, IS SEEING, IS LIKING, IS HEALING


SAW is past tense. Which choice is also past tense based off of the examples given?

Answer 25

No, not A, because since "saw" is past tense, and "is climbing" is present progressive, they don't match.

And no, I don't have a phone, sorry.

YES! Great! It is D because "climbed" is past tense and so is "saw"!
