Question

I was____ to know that everybody was fine.
a) pleasant b) pleased c) pleasing d) pleaseful​

Answer 1

The correct answer is I was pleased to know that everybody was fine.

• The simple past describes an action that took place and was completed in the past.
• By adding -ed to the base form of the verb, the simple past is generated (the infinitive without to).

• The only difference between the terms 'was' and 'were' is that the former is used when the subject is single, while the latter is used when the subject is plural.
• The word 'was' is the past form of the verb 'be' and is used with first and third-person singular subjects.
• The use of pleased in the sentence 'I was pleased to know that everybody was fine' indicates that sentence is simple past.
