Question

he had not eaten since the previous nightfall. identify the tense​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer as the sentence is in the simple future tense. A simple way to identify this tense is that in the future tense the helping verbs 'will' or 'shall' is used with the base form of the verb, 'give' in this case.

Option A is incorrect because of the presence of the word 'will' in the sentence, which is used only in the future tense.

Option B is incorrect because for the sentence to be in the simple past tense the verb should also be in the past form, which is not the case here.

Option C is incorrect because when a sentence is the present continuous tense, the verb will be in the -ing form, but, as we can see here, the verb is in its base form.

Answer 2

past perfect continuous tense
