Question

The moon shines in the sky
at night. (Pick out the correct
tense)
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The verb ‘to shine’ can be either transitive (the action happens to an object), as in “I’m shining my flashlight at the house,” or intransitive (the action happens to the subject), as in “Right now the sun is shining.” The adverbial phrase ‘at night’ means ‘during the night.’ Yes, we say ‘in the daytime’ to mean ‘during the day,’ but we say ‘at night’ or ‘at nighttime.’ Don’t ask why, that’s just how it is.

Therefore, in your sentence ‘the moon’ is the subject of the verb ‘shines,’ which is being used intransitively, and ‘night’ is the object of the preposition ‘at,’ which is being used to indicate time, as in “Come home at 10:30,” and not direction, as in “He threw a rock at the crow.”
