Q

Simple tenses use the past form, the present form, and the present form with the helping verb [will].
Ex:
Past - Yesterday I [walked] home from school.
Present - Every day I [walk] home from school, and my sister walks home from school.
Future - Tomorrow I [will walk] home from school.

Supply the appropriate verb tense:
I wish he (stop) _______ me when I tried to leave.

A

I wish he [stopped] me when I tried to leave.

The verb tense in a sentence must be consistent. Note that the verb ‘tried’ is in past tense so the verb ‘stop’ should be in past tense too.
