|---|---|---|
| (A) Nani has packed her suitcase already, so it is standing by the door now. | (IV) has packed | Present perfect: has + past participle (V3). “Already” and “now” show a finished action with a result now. |
| (B) She was packing her bag last night when the power went off. | (III) was packing | Past continuous: was + V-ing. The packing was going on when the short action “went off” cut into it. |
| (C) By the time we reach the station on Sunday, she will have packed snacks for the whole journey. | (II) will have packed | Future perfect: will have + V3. “By the time we reach ... on Sunday” shows the action will be over before a future time. |
| (D) Every winter, she packs the woollens into an old tin trunk. | (I) packs | Simple present. “Every winter” shows a habit. |
