is my answer correct

Answer 1

Yes, your answer is correct. The sentence "Laura has given donations to the local food bank" is in the present perfect tense. In order to determine the tense, it is helpful to identify the verb and look for clues. In this case, the verb is "has given." The use of the helping verb "has" indicates the present perfect tense, which combines the present tense with the past tense.
