The word “sheepish” is an adjective, meaning it doesn’t have a past or present tense since tenses apply to verbs.
However, if you’re asking about how to use it in sentences across different tenses, you can pair it with a verb. For example:
- Present tense: “He feels sheepish about his mistake.”
- Past tense: “She felt sheepish after forgetting the meeting.”
In both sentences, “sheepish” describes the person’s emotional state, while the verb (feel) changes tense based on the time frame.
