Did Henry Hudson Discover the Hudson Strait?
No, but only because of the wording of the question. The word "found" has four principal meanings, according to the American Heritage Dictionary. First, as a transitive verb: 1) to establish or set up, especially with provision for continuing existence Or, also as a transitive verb: 2) to melt (metal) and pour into a mold And as past-tense transitive verb: 3) came upon, often by accident; met with Finally as a past-tense intransitive verb: 4) came to a legal decision or verdict In your question, you use "found" as a transitive verb because it has an object, "the Hudson river." An intransitive verb, by contrast, carries no object; a prepositional phrase, adverb, or nothing follows the verb within the predicate. Hence, definition (4) does not apply. Now, this gets somewhat confusing, so please bear with me. In your locution, the verb clause is "did...found," which in English indicates that you intend the infinitive definition of "found" (1 or 2), although Henry Hudson died in 1611. The auxiliary verb "did" indicates your usage of the past tense, and you cannot repeat this indication via a past-tense main verb. For example, following the rules of English grammar, you would not ask, "Did she ran the marathon?" Instead, you could ask, "Did she run the marathon?" Henry Hudson indeed did find the Hudson River and sailed upriver almost as far as the site of the present city of Albany in New York in September 1609. But you did not ask whether Henry Hudson found the River but whether he founded the River, a different question entirely. ("Found" is the past tense of "to find;" "founded" is past tense for "to found.") That leaves only definitions (1) and (2) as grammatically compatible with your question. Henry Hudson could not found a river (in sense 1) because it already existed before he arrived. Various other Europeans founded settlements, and Dutch founded New York a few years after Henry Hudson explored the area, but Hudson himself founded no settlements. He instead sought the Northwest Passage. Henry Hudson could not found a river (in sense 2) because the river already contained liquid water when he found (encountered) it and not metal to mold.
