	CalifJim  +  547252 Mon, 28 Jul 08 07:20 AM I think you need to review the tenses. Without an -ing word, there is no progressive tense.  See 3 and 4. With auxiliary verb have, you have a perfect tense.  See 3.  You missed one that was past simple.  Look for verb forms that end in d.  Can you please try again?  CJ  CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member 22,475 "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche Verbs, Tenses, Auxiliaries, Past Simple
