This is a nice sentence that does need @NNC.
(Isn't 'participe' just 'participle'? Plus, "was in present" seems better, except I wouldn't know whether omitting 'tense' is okay.)

This sentence was initially added as a translation of sentence #1089171Tom affirmait, à en juger par le verbe devant lui, que la phrase était au passé tandis que Mary voyant le participe sous ses yeux, jurait que c'était un présent..

Tom was asserting, judging by the verb in front of him, that the sentence was past tense, while Mary, seeing the gerundive under her eyes, was swearing it was a present.
