Sit verb forms

Past Tense of Sit

I am sat (sitting) / stood (standing) — all fine. No, it’s not grammatically incorrect. Different dialects of English have different grammatical rules.

1) The ‘sat’ in the first phrase is the passive form of ‘sit’, not the past tense. 2) *To sit* is usually intransitive meaning it does not have a passive form. 3) When it’s used as a transitive verb, it means to ‘get (someone) to sit down’, in which case the passive form is ‘sat’.

Sitting is something that is still going on. So, I’m sitting is describing what’s you are currently doing. Sat is past tense. So, I sat is something you did in the past.

Sat is always the past tense, never the present, of to sit, in all English-speaking countries.

Since its debut in 1926, its name and scoring have changed several times; originally called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, it was later called the Scholastic Assessment Test, then the SAT I: Reasoning Test, then the SAT Reasoning Test, then simply the SAT.

What Are the Hardest Colleges to Get Into?

Is a 4.5 GPA good? This GPA is higher than a 4.0, meaning that your school measures GPAs on a weighted scale (class difficulty is taken into account in conjunction with your grades). A 4.5 GPA indicates that you’re in very good shape for college. You’re most likely in high level classes earning As and high Bs.

Generally speaking, the average GPA of students welcomed by Harvard into its campus is 3.9 unweighted and 4.15 unweighted. It’s possible for Harvard to accept a student with a 3.0 GPA but with a compelling story.

Assuming an unweighted GPA, a 3.9 means that you’re doing exceptionally well. This GPA indicates that you’ve earned all As on average across all of your classes. If you’ve been taking high level classes, this is all the more impressive. 96.92% of schools have an average GPA below a 3.9.

The average high school GPA of the admitted freshman class at Harvard University was 4.04 on the 4.0 scale indicating that primarily A students are accepted and ultimately attend.
