Question

I am tired of hearing that volleyball is easy. I resent that this article implies volleyball players have somehow chosen an “easier” path. More young women are choosing to play volleyball because it is tough. It is competitive. It is fierce and fun. That’s it.
is this past tense

Answer 1

No — it’s mostly present tense.

Breakdown:
- "I am tired of hearing..." — present (present simple/continuous sense).
- "I resent..." — present simple.
- "this article implies..." — present simple.
- "volleyball players have somehow chosen..." — present perfect (not past simple).
- "More young women are choosing..." — present progressive.
- "it is tough. It is competitive. It is fierce and fun. That’s it." — present simple.

If you want it in past tense (all past simple), one option:
"I was tired of hearing that volleyball was easy. I resented that the article implied volleyball players had somehow chosen an 'easier' path. More young women chose to play volleyball because it was tough. It was competitive. It was fierce and fun. That was it."
