The simple tense uses one verb to describe a complete action. It can be in the past, present, or future (in the case of future, it takes the form "will + verb". Out of these following options, which agrees with that definition?

A. My brother and I ran across the open field. This uses simple tense, one verb (ran) to describe a complete action.

B. Pat has studied for the math test since last weekend. Not simple tense, "has studied" is two verbs and uses the perfect tense.

C. Sue was examining the fossil very closely. This uses the progressive tense, two verbs "was" and "studying"

D. The speech ended an hour late last night. This uses simple tense, one verb (ended) to describe a complete action.

E. Texas is a huge state in both size and population. This uses simple tense, one verb (is) to describe a complete action.

Answers are A, D, and E
