How can I make this sentence present tense? Or is it already present tense?

The problem I'm having is with the word "banished" which is past tense. And my teacher wants us to write in the present tense. I have the main verb present so does that make the whole sentence present tense?

They create food without banished ingredients.

Yes, the whole sentence is in present tense.

In this sentence, "banished" is a past participle (not a complete verb with a subject), which is being used as an adjective to modify "ingredients."

Frankly, though, I think the sentence would read better in one of these ways:

They create food without illegal ingredients.

They create food without prohibited ingredients.

banishing

To make the sentence present tense, the verb "banished" needs to be changed to present tense. Since "banished" is the only verb in the sentence, changing it to present tense will make the whole sentence present tense.

One way to rewrite the sentence in present tense is:

"They create food without banning ingredients."

In this sentence, the present tense form of "banish" is used, which is "banning".

To make the sentence present tense, you can change the verb "create" to its present tense form. In this case, the present tense form of "create" is "create."

So, the revised sentence in present tense would be:

"They create food without banished ingredients."

In this sentence, the word "create" is in the present tense, indicating that the action is happening currently or regularly. Since the main verb is in the present tense, it makes the whole sentence present tense.
