Merriam dictionary says " 's " can mean IS, WAS, HAS ,and DOES.
I have a question about " 's " that can mean WAS. Do native English speakers think that " 's " can mean WAS? Do native English speakers think the example sentence that the dictinary gives is correct? "When's the last time you ate?"(Cited from merriam dictionary)
If you and your native English speaker friends hear or see this sentence, "When's the last time you ate?" What does it mean to you and your native English speaker friends? Is "When is the last time you ate?" or "When was the last time you ate?" (This part is the most important question that I want to ask)
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/'s This is the link of merriam dictionary. Type " 's, " and then you can find it. And below is the screen shot of the definitions about " 's " on merriam dictionary.
Moreover, may the replyer/answerer recommend a less famous city of the state or county in your country? My hobby is using google map to see the landscape there.

Hello everyone!
I wanted to ask you what is the correct spelling of 'my bae'. Should it be "BAE" rather then 'bae'?
The Cambridge dictionary writes 'bae' https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/bae?q=BAE
But if its an acronym 'before anyone else' so that should be 'BAE' or it shouldn't?
