[amp_mcq option1=”telling” option2=”told” option3=”tells” option4=”tell” correct=”option2″]<\/p>\n

The correct answer is B. told.<\/p>\n

The sentence is in the past tense, so the verb must also be in the past tense. Of the four options, only told is in the past tense.<\/p>\n

A. telling is in the present participle tense, which is used to describe an action that is happening at the same time as the speaker is speaking.<\/p>\n

C. tells is in the present tense, which is used to describe an action that happens regularly or repeatedly.<\/p>\n

D. tell is the infinitive form of the verb, which is used to express a general idea or to make a request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
