Let's say you are asked about the most dangerous sport you have tried. And you say:
"the most dangerous sport that I have ever tried is/was skateboarding.''
Which one is the correct preposition?

John, you can't have a sport: you do a sport. The subject is singular, so the verb would be also. What preposition?? Do you mean verb?– LambieCommented Mar 24, 2018 at 16:01

Hmm, right, I'll change it into 'do' then...– John ArvinCommented Mar 24, 2018 at 16:11

1Using "ever" indicates past time including the present moment, so you can't use past tense.– user3169Commented Mar 24, 2018 at 20:50

Is my answer grammatical now?– John ArvinCommented Mar 24, 2018 at 22:27

Your example is in present perfect tense so "is" would be the right choice. If you were speaking about the past, you don`t do any dangerous sports anymore, "was" would be appropriate.
