Note: I have not enrolled in the ESL001 course, so I created this sentence independently to complete the discussion task.

Sentence: She had already finished her homework before dinner.

  • Tense: Past
  • Aspect: Perfect
  • Mood: Indicative

Explanation:

  • Past tense because the action happened before now.
  • Perfect aspect because it uses had + past participle (finished), showing an action completed before another past event.
  • Indicative mood because it states a fact rather than giving a command (imperative) or expressing a hypothetical situation (subjunctive).
