OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is kinda confusing to me so just give me a min.

Mehek (mehek14):

are both verbs the same tense or different?

Mehek (mehek14):

like are they both past or present or is one past and one present

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are both the same tense

Mehek (mehek14):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, one is past and one is preasent.

Mehek (mehek14):

which one is past or present?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Stuffed is past and scampered is preasent

Mehek (mehek14):
