Is it...
A) She patted the dog.
Or
B) She pat the dog.
I think B is the correct answer , however Bart thinks it's A.

You see guys, Bart can't be blamed for his poor grammar.... he's from Melbourne, they do things differently down here in Mexico.

I think both can be correct depending on the context and tense.

Neither context nor tense can even remotely turn "she pat the dog" into any semblance of good grammar.
"She pats the dog" present tense or "she patted the dog" past tense.

A
But then again grammar is not my strong point as you all know.
Always remember what you post, send or do on the internet is not private and you are responsible.

None of us are experts in English comprehension. I can't see a problem with using either phrase and I'll stick to that.
