Can you use the word Presumptuous in Past Tense?

The past tense of "presumptuous" is presumed.

However, "presumptuous" is an adjective, not a verb. So, you would use "presumed" in a sentence like:

* "He was presumptuous in assuming he knew what I wanted."

* "She presumed that her opinion was the only one that mattered."

You might also use the past participle of "presume," which is also "presumed," in a sentence like:

* "He had presumed too much about the situation."
