| 113. Which tense of 'to lead' are you confused by exactly? |
|
It is plain and easily explained, the verb 'to lead' is different from the verb 'to plead'.
present tense - "I lead my dog down to the park" and "the lawyer pleads his case in court"
past tense - "the winner led the race from the start" and "the lawyer already plead his case last week"

Heinous. Every crime now is heinous. Can't they think of a synonym? |
