Which of the following sentences is in the past tense?

  1. She will attend training today.

  2. She attended training today.

  3. She is attending training today.

  4. By next week, she will have attended training.

The correct answer is: She attended training today.

The sentence "She attended training today" is the correct choice because it clearly uses the past tense form of the verb "attend." This indicates that the action has already occurred at a specific point in the past, which aligns perfectly with the definition of the past tense. The other sentences are constructed in different tenses. The first one expresses a future action ("will attend"), the third one depicts an ongoing action in the present ("is attending"), and the last one describes a future perfect action ("will have attended"). Each of these uses verbs that indicate actions not yet completed, making them non-past tense forms.
