Answer:

The tense in the given sentence is a past tense as the verb "rang" is in the past

Explanation:

• In English, tense is a way through which various times can be annotated in the sentence through the changing verbs. The tenses are past tense, present tense and the future tense.
• The past tense is used to describe events that have already occurred, the present tense is used to indicate the events that are happening currently while the future tense is used to annotate the events that would happen in the future
• Some examples of tenses are: Past Tense (She ate salad in the afternoon ), Present Tense ( She is eating salad for lunch today), Future Tense (She would be eating salad for lunch today)
• Hence, through tense, the time element in a sentence can be understood

Considering the given sentence, "When I was entering the room , the phone rang" , is a past tense as the the event "ringing of the phone" is in the past
