Question

Joan was attending to her duties. (pick out the verb and state the tense)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The verb in this sentence is 'Attend + ing.'

Explanation:

 

• The 'ing' has been added because it's a past continuous sentence.  
• To create a past continuous sentence, add a helping verb after the subject.
• Add 'ing' into the verb to make it a continuous tense.  
• A continuous tense is also known as past imperfect or past progressive tense in the present English grammar.
