  • A. would read is the correct option.
  • I would read stories everyday when I was a child.

  • The above sentence is in Past Tense because the sentence is indicating a state (read) that has happened in the past (when the subject was a child).
  • The Past Tense of the verb indicates a state, an action or an event that has happened in the past.
  • The past tense can be of four types: simple, continuous, perfect and perfect continuous.
  • In the above sentence, "would read" is a form of Simple Past Tense because the action (reading) is completed before the time of speaking. Would is the past tense of will.
  • The Simple Past Tense is used to refer to actions that were completed before the time of speaking.
  • In the above sentence, "Will be reading" and "will read" are wrong options because it refers to the future whereas "have been reading" is the wrong option because it refers to the present.
  • Examples of Simple past tense are:-
  1. He waved at his friends.
  2. I did not like the new movie
  3. He went to tuition.
