Understanding the Present Perfect Tense
The present perfect tense is used to express actions that have occurred at some indefinite point in the past but are relevant to the present. It often employs time expressions like "since," "for," "already," "yet," and "just."
Why Option D is Correct
- Correct Usage of Time Expression:
- "He has been sick since last week."
- The word "since" indicates a specific starting point in the past (last week) up to the present, making it an ideal fit for the present perfect tense.
Analysis of Other Options
- Option A:
- "I have finished my work just now."
- Incorrect because "just now" suggests a specific time, which contradicts the indefinite nature of the present perfect.
- Option B:
- "They have eaten dinner at 7 PM."
- Incorrect as "at 7 PM" specifies a definite time in the past, making it unsuitable for present perfect usage.
- Option C:
- "She has called me yesterday."
- Incorrect since "yesterday" is a specific time frame, which should be used with the simple past tense instead.
Conclusion
The correct answer, option D, effectively uses the present perfect tense with the appropriate time expression, indicating an ongoing relevance of the past action to the present moment. Understanding these nuances can greatly improve your grasp of English tenses, especially for exams like SSC CGL.

The Present Perfect Tense Explained
The present perfect tense is used to describe actions that occurred at an unspecified time or that started in the past and continue to the present. In the context of passive voice, the subject receives the action rather than performing it.
Analysis of Each Option
- Option A: The letter has been written by her.
- This sentence correctly utilizes the present perfect tense in passive voice.
- "Has been written" indicates that the action of writing the letter was completed at some unspecified time in the past.
- The focus is on the letter (the subject), which receives the action.
- Option B: A new book was been published.
- This option is incorrect because "was been" is grammatically incorrect.
- The correct form should be "has been published" to reflect the present perfect tense.
- Option C: The work have been completed.
- This sentence is incorrect due to subject-verb agreement.
- "Work" is a singular noun, so it should be "has been completed."
- Option D: The movie has been watch by them.
- This option is incorrect because "watch" should be in the past participle form, which is "watched."
- The correct form would be "The movie has been watched by them."
Conclusion

The error in the sentence is the incorrect verb form. The correct past tense form of the verb "eat" is "ate," not "ate." Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "We have never eaten sushi before."
This correction makes the sentence grammatically accurate and conveys the intended meaning that the speaker has never tried sushi before.
Therefore, option (c) "ate" is the error in the sentence.

Pranab Goyal answered |
Understanding Present Perfect Tense
The present perfect tense connects past actions to the present. It is formed using "have/has" followed by the past participle of the verb. This tense is typically used for experiences, changes, or situations that are relevant to the present moment.
Analyzing Option C
The sentence in option C, "They have gone to the market an hour ago," misuses the present perfect tense. Here’s why:
Time Expressions
- The phrase "an hour ago" specifies a definite time in the past.
- Present perfect tense is not appropriate with specific past time markers (like "ago," "last week," or "in 2010").
Correct Usage
- The correct form should be in the simple past tense: "They went to the market an hour ago."
- The simple past tense is used for actions that occurred at a specific time in the past and are now complete.
Examples of Correct Present Perfect Usage
- "I have read this book many times." (Experience)
- "We have never seen such a performance." (Experience)
- "She has always loved classical music." (Situation relevant to the present)
Conclusion
In summary, option C incorrectly uses the present perfect tense due to the inclusion of a specific time reference. It should be revised to reflect the simple past tense to convey the intended meaning accurately.

Understanding the Correct Question Formulation
When forming questions in English, it's essential to use the correct auxiliary verbs and verb forms. Let's analyze the options provided:
Option A: "Has she finished her homework?"
- This option uses the auxiliary verb "has," which is appropriate for the subject "she" (third person singular).
- The main verb "finished" is in the past participle form, which correctly indicates a completed action.
- This structure is grammatically correct and commonly used in the present perfect tense to inquire about completed actions.
Option B: "Have she finished her homework?"
- This option incorrectly uses "have" with "she."
- The correct auxiliary verb for "she" should be "has."
- Therefore, this formulation is not grammatically correct.
Option C: "Does she finished her homework?"
- In this option, "does" is used as an auxiliary verb, which is appropriate for questions in the simple present tense.
- However, "finished" should be in the base form "finish" when using "does."
- So, this option is also incorrect.
Option D: "Is she finished her homework?"
- This option incorrectly uses "is" with the main verb "finished."
- The correct structure would involve "is" followed by a gerund (e.g., "Is she finishing her homework?").
- Hence, this formulation is also grammatically incorrect.
Conclusion
The only grammatically correct option is A: "Has she finished her homework?" This question effectively asks whether she has completed her homework using the appropriate tense and verb forms.

Option D is incorrect because it should be 'She has finished her homework.' The present perfect tense requires 'has' for singular third-person subjects.

Options B and C correctly use the present perfect tense in a question with a WH-word ('Why has' and 'Where have'). The structure is 'WH-word + has/have + subject + past participle.' Option A is incorrect due to the use of 'has' with a plural subject.

The error lies in "understands". The correct form should be "understood" as in "They have not understood the instructions." After 'have not', the past participle form of the verb is used in the Present Perfect Tense.

Both Options A and C correctly use the present perfect tense to describe actions that have an immediate impact on the present ('have lost' affecting the ability to enter the house, and 'have eaten' leading to feeling full). Option B is incorrect due to the use of a specific past time with the present perfect tense.

The correct completion is "Many people have seen the new movie since it released." In the Present Perfect Tense, 'have' is used with plural subjects, followed by the past participle form of the verb, 'seen' in this case. This tense is often used to express actions that occurred at an unspecified time before now.
