Answers
simple past, cuz the verb 'was' is the past participle of 'am'
Answer: Mahatma Gandhi was born in Porbandar. This sentence is written in the simple past tense.
The simple past tense shows that we are talking about anything which has already happened. Not like the past continuous tense, which is used to talk only about past events that have happened over a period of time, the simple past tense specifically emphasizes that very action that is finished.
Explanation:
1. We use the simple past tense to define the action done or states that have already happened in the past and also are totally finished and fully completed.
2. Suppose, for example, the sentence John played basketball says that John started and completed playing basketball sometimes in the past. He is not playing basketball right now.
