Can someone tell me if these questions are gramatically correct?

Hi,

I got this question on an exam;

I __________ the clothes on Wednesday.

A - Wash
B - Washes
C - Washs
D - Washed

from what I know, there are 2 possible answers for this question, and I think that the most accurate one in this case is the answer " D ", " washed "

Now, the person who posted the question says that this sentence is a present simple sentence and the correct answer is " A ", " wash "

I argued with him that as he didn't add a plural " s " to the word Wednesday, this indicates a single Wednesday and thus the sentence is closer to the past tense.

So, who of us is right?


I would be so thankful if a teacher answered this

I agree with you. Clearly B and C are incorrect. D fits perfectly:

I washed the clothes on Wednesday.

If it were A, it should read:

I wash the clothes on a Wednesday.
or
I wash the clothes on Wednesdays.
