Which tense used for ''is stored '' in the sentence , ''80 % of the world's electronic information is stored in English '' ? is it simple present !!
@twaha,
Yes. Info is collective noun. Think of it as a singular term.
@twaha,
The simple present would be "send."
"Stored" is the participle. In your sentence it's acting as a present participle.
@twaha,
Listen to what InfraBlue advised about it being a participle.
I have no idea what he has written about the word
send, however.
However,
is stored is the correct phrase.
@Ragman,
Twaha had asked if "is stored" is the simple present.
To be clear, no, it is not. "Send" is the simple present.
@InfraBlue,
I still don't understand. I don't see how 'Send' is the simple present tense of 'stored'. Those two words are not connected.
@Ragman,

Indeed they are not. It is difficult to see why Infrablue persists with this.
@Tes yeux noirs,
I persist because I'm trying to clarify twaha's question and my response thereto.
I took twaha's question to be, "is 'is stored' the simple present."
@InfraBlue,
Quote:I took twaha's question to be, "is 'is stored' the simple present."
So why mention the verb 'send'?
@Tes yeux noirs,
Because "send" is the simple present, not "is stored."
