Once upon a time in days when genies and genies and giants roamed(roam) the land,there (1) lived (live) a Farmer named (name) bab Ayub. He lived with his family in a little village by the name of Maidan Sabz. Because he had a larger family to feed, Baba Ayub saw (see) his days consumed (consumed) by hard work. Every day,he laboured (labour) from dawn to sundown, plowing  (plow) his field and turning (turn) the soil and tending (tend) to his meagre pistachio trees​

Explanation:

  • The simple past tense is a verb tense which is used to talk about things that took place or had existed before now. We use simple past tense "once upon.................laboured"
  • A non-finite verb is a verb form that does not show tense. In other words, you cannot tell if a sentence is in the past tense, present tense, or future tense by looking at a non-finite verb. Non-finite verbs are of three types - Gerunds (ending with "ing"), past participle ( end with 'ed' & 'en'), & infinitives (to)
  • So,  in the above case though we use simple past tense in other sentence, according to the context, in the last sentence, we use non-finite verb - "Gerund", which a noun formed from a verb or a  verb but functions as a noun. Also just as how a noun functions, gerunds to act as as a subject/a subject complement/direct object/an indirect object/an object of a preposition.
  • In the above case: gerunds are such as "plowing" (noun formed from plow), "turning" (a noun formed from turn) , and "tending" (noun form of tend).  The gerunds act as the subject of  the object "field", object "soil" & object "meagre pistachio tree" respectively
  • Another important point to note is the use of parallel structure (using same pattern of words to denote 2 or more words/ideas are of equal importance). Parallel structure must be used when we connect clauses with a coordinating conjunction such as: for, and, nor, or, but, so, or yet. So in the above case, "plowing  (plow) his field and turning (turn) the soil and tending (tend) to his meagre pistachio trees​" we also use parallel structure. Here we also use parallel structure "ing" (gerund) indicating the equal importance of each of the activity.
