Answer: The past tense of “read” is “read”. The past tense of the verb is “have read”.

In the past tense, there is a concept called “past continuous”. This helps to describe situations in time. The past tense of “read”, on the other hand, is “having read”.

In this example, a man reads a book while walking down the street. He then goes back for another look at it when he gets home.

In this sentence, we have used the present continuous and it describes what was happening in time – he has been reading over the holidays!
