Tenses

As the shops were closed,  we could not buy.

Explanation:

  • The given sentence, 'as the shops......., we could not buy', consists of two clauses.
  • The first clause in the sentence is a conditional clause. It begins with the conjunction 'as' and states a condition.
  • The first clause thus sets the 'cause' of the sentence while the second clause states the effect .
  • The second sentence is a negative sentence and is in the past tense.
  • Since the two clauses are separated by a comma but are relative to each other the same tense has to be used.
  • Thus the simple past tense has to be used in the first clause and the verbs used are 'were closed'.
  • The complete sentence is thus :  As the shops were closed,  we could not buy.
