Question

1. B1. Do as directed
The duck was excellent in swimming. (Rewrite using the simple past tense of 'to excel')
​

Answer 1

By changing the given sentence into simple past tense we will get ''the duck excelled in swimming''.

• Past tense is the tense where we talk about the things that have happened already.

• Simple tense predicts the normal event of that time.

• This mainly emphasizes that the event has been finished and we are just discussing it now.

• We can simply ad 'd', 'ed', or 'ied' to make them look simple past tense.
