Question

edit a verb, if necessary, to make sure the sentence is in the present tense.
perry the platypus usually leaps out of his seat whenever he guesses right in trivial pursuit.

Explanation:

The sentence already uses present - tense verbs ("leaps" and "guesses"). "Leaps" is the simple present form of "leap" for the third - person singular subject "Perry the Platypus", and "guesses" is the simple present form of "guess" for the same - subject in the subordinate clause. Since the verbs are already in the present tense, no editing of the verbs is necessary.

Answer:

The sentence does not need to have its verb edited as the verbs "leaps" and "guesses" are already in the present tense. The sentence remains: "Perry the Platypus usually leaps out of his seat whenever he guesses right in Trivial Pursuit."
