Luca Nicola Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Hello How are you today? Hope all is fine in your own flat/house The, just a question. As the verb is correct, where is the mistake? I thought the present continuous tense was right. Obviously not. No, she's wound down now. Which is the reason? maybe is because wind is a stative verb or because the action is already finished. I mean she is relaxed now. Mistakes (1) Is she still tense? No, she's winding down now. Thanks for sharing, Best regard Edited April 10, 2020 by Luca Nicola Link to comment
Head Tutor Minoo Posted April 10, 2020 Head Tutor Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Hello Luca, You've worked it out yourself. Because she's no longer tense, we should us the Present Perfect tense: She has (She's) wound down now. I know the 'now' at the end is a bit tricky as it usually signals the Present Continuous tense, but the context here overrides the word. Link to comment
