Sarah has climbed the Matterhorn, sailed around the world, and has gone on safari in Kenya. She is such an adventurous person.
Why is “sailed” in the Simple Past while the other verbs are in the Simple Perfect? (It is an example from a website on grammar.)
Answer
The tense is still Present Perfect, “sailed” is both the past simple form and the past participle of “sail“. The subject (Sarah) and the auxiliary verb (has) are the same so they have been omitted. You can also say: “Sarah has climbed the Matterhorn, she has sailed around the world, and she has gone on safari in Kenya.” but that is a bit clumsy.
