Question

I need my sentence to be past tense third person. I know my main verb 'caused' is past tense, but the 'prime acting citizens' phrase is confusing me since 'acting' ends in 'ing', which is not past tense. Do I need to change it to make it past tense?


Rules caused stress upon prime acting citizens and upon businesses.
Ms. Sue
prime-acting is an adjective modifying citizens in this sentence.

The verb is "caused," and it's in the past tense.
