Identify the tense of the given expression : '... led him astray.'

  • A.Past Continuous
  • B.Simple Present
  • C.Past Perfect
  • D.Simple Past

Answer: D

The expression is in the Simple Past tense.

Led is the past tense of the verb 'lead', used on its own with no helping verb, so '... led him astray' is in the simple past. It reports a completed action in the past.

The past continuous would be 'was leading him astray' and the past perfect 'had led him astray', each with a helping verb. The simple present would be 'leads him astray'.
