verb tenses and phrasal verb

[Luca Nicola]

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

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.
