Why do we say “open” and “closed”? Why is one in present tense and the other in past tense? 1.46K viewsMarch 31, 2024Other Question100.55K March 31, 2024 0 Comments Edit: to clarify, I mean when shops have a sign that says “open” versus “closed”. Why is it not “opened/closed” or “open/close”? In: Other 31 Answers ActiveNewestOldest Anonymous Posted March 31, 2024 0 Comments We do say close and opened as well. “close the door” because it’s a thing that has not happened yet. “The door was opened” because it is a thing that happened in the past. So we use open, opened, close and closed. You are viewing 1 out of 31 answers, click here to view all answers. Register or Login
