What part of a sentence tells the reader when something is taking place? A. Punctuation
B. Verb tense
C. Modifier placement
D. Concrete noun
The correct answer is B. Verb tense.
Verb tense indicates the time frame in which an action occurs—past, present, or future—thus telling the reader when something is taking place. For example, in the sentence “She walks to school,” the present tense verb “walks” indicates that the action is happening now.
