The words that have been used to fill in the blanks are verbs. Now, the verb is always in some form of tense.

• For example, 'feeling' is a verb and it is in the present continuous tense.

Present continuously tense is a tense that signifies that the activity that has been mentioned has already started and is still going on. Usually, there is an addition of 'ing' at the end of the verb to change it to present continuous tense. For example, playing, eating, bathing, walking, dreaming, working, fishing, etc.

• The verb 'reached' is in the simple past tense.

The simple past tense is a tense that signifies that the said activity has already ended. Usually, there is an addition of 'd' at the end of the verb in this case. For example, died, lived, paid, said, etc.

In some cases, there is an addition of 't' at the end of the verb. For example, dealt, built, etc. There are also cases like ate, read, beat, and saw, that do not fit the other two cases but are still in the simple past tense.
