<p>Ok, do we need to know a lot about verb tense on the ACT english section. Also, can someone plz explain where I am going wrong on this sentence in my ACT prep book.</p>
<p>-Before the linguistics revolution, it was thought that babies learn all of their vocabulary from the people around them. </p>
<p>I am confused on the verb phase was thought... shouldnt it be had been thought because you should use the past perfect tense. Also, when it says babies learn... shouldnt it be "babies learned" because you are talking about a thought in the past. </p>
<p>THANKS A TON for your time!</p>
