Question

She _____ as if nothing _____.
is acting / happens
acts / had happened
acted / happened
acted / would have happened

Answer 1

She acted as if nothing happened.

Explanation:

• The correct option is the third one "acted/happened".

• The correct form of the verb must be used to show the tense of the sentence.

• The form of the verb depends on the word that is before the verb and the subject of the sentence and the tense.

• The second form of the verb is mostly used in the Past tenses, whereas the first forms of the verb are used in Present tenses.

• And in continuous sentences "ing" is added to show the action is still going on.

• So in the given sentence, the first past tells us not to disturb him which shows that the sentence is Present continuous tense, so we will cause "ing" with the first form of the verb.
