    Default Verb

    Hi all,

    Could you tell me what is wrong with these sentences.

    I was at the pet shop. (to be)
    will be/have been/was

    Dave and Pat visited the museum (to visit)
    have visited/visiting/have visited

    Thanks,
    Aishwarya

    It depends on when they did it. Your sentences are OK as is.

    "I will be/have been/was at the pet shop" are all correct.
    "Dave and Pat visited/have visited the museum" are both correct.
