Thanks, Bhikkhu. I've fixed it and the other mistake in that quiz set. Corrected versions will appear with our next database update. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Dear teachers, Why the word "came" in the sentence is past tense?

You are there now which means you came (arrived) earlier - perhaps only a minute or so, perhaps longer... but either way it happened in the past.
"I have come to visit my mother," would be an alternative statement, especially if you are just arriving. _________________ "Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened."

"What are youdoing here? " You have to use space between you and doing. |
