Write the verb in each sentence. Write whether the action is past, present, or future
1. A Potter adds sand to the clay
(adds, present)
2. Then he rolls the clay into long, pipe-shaped pieces.
(Pipe-shape, past)
3.Another potters will use a potter's wheel .
(will use, future)
4. She shaped two pots yesterday.
(shaped, past)
5. The electric potter's wheel saved her time.
(saved, past)
All are correct except 2. "Pipe-shaped" is an adjective, not a verb.
(Rolls, past)
Rolls, past
Rolls is the verb. But it is not past tense.
Rolls, present
Rolls is in the present tense.
2. Shaped, past.
Please let me know if I'm right
Shaped, past.
No. I've told you that rolls is the verb and it's in the past tense.
