No, ‘went’ is not present tense; it is the past tense of the verb ‘go.’
To explain further, ‘go’ is an irregular verb that changes form when used in different tenses. In the present tense, we use ‘go’ (as in ‘I go to the store’), while in the past tense, the correct form is ‘went’ (as in ‘I went to the store yesterday’). Therefore, when we say ‘went,’ we are referring to an action that has already happened, not one occurring now.
