- Tense: Present tense (because "walk" is in its base form, and there is no indication of past or future action.)

- Verb: mows
- Tense: Present tense (because "mows" is the third-person singular present tense of "mow.")

- Tense: Past tense (because "watched" is the past tense of "watch," and "last night" indicates a past action.)

- Tense: Present tense (because "sing" is in its base form, and there is no indication of past or future action.)

- Verb: drank
- Tense: Past tense (because "drank" is the past tense of "drink.")

7. g) Sarah takes a shower.
- Verb: takes

8. h) Tom shouted at his sister.
- Verb: shouted
- Tense: Past tense (because "shouted" is the past tense of "shout.")
