Hello everyone.

Sentence #1 below is a translation that I made from a single, isolated sentence in Japanese.

1. Many of the sports that are played all over the world today originated in England.

Sentence #2 below is another translation that I have made from the same sentence.

2. Many of the sports played all over the world today ( come/ came ) from England.

Which, �come� or �came�, is more natural for the blank of Sentence #2 above?

Best regards,
fw

FW -

"Came" is correct as it is the past tense verb, and your sentence is past tense.

Hope that helps - Kristi
