I have finished the reading!!

What the constructions in italics is am/are/is/was/were + V-ed .

Is that right??

Hi Millicent,

Let me tell you that it is an excellent material. Congratulations for this fantastic idea. Now, we students have got a chance to listen, then, read, and listen again looking and not the texts. I am feeling very happy about your English Programs. Congratulations again, and go ahead, that you are the best ones.

Excerpt from the article:
"By the time it was bought by my aunt and uncle some two hundred years later it had been owned by a long list of different people whose names are recorded on the title deeds. As it is situated by the sea, it became a favourite place for various members of the family to visit. It also had an added attraction — it was haunted, at least so my uncle said"

I understand the actions of the reader should be in the past tense since it happened in the past. But what i am confused about is the use of present tense : "is situated" "Are recorded" at the same time... When is it ok to use different tenses?


thanks,
kai

Hi Kai,

Since the house has always been situated by the sea and the names have been recorded for a long time, we can use the present tense because both those facts are still true today.

Let me know if this answers your question.
Many thanks,
Torsten
