___________________ to him on the telephone last month.
a)
I spoke
b)
I've spoken
c)
I didn't spoke
d)
I speaked
|
Prerna Mishra answered |
Explanation:
In this question, the correct answer is option 'B' - "I've spoken to him on the telephone last month." Let's break down the options and understand why the other options are incorrect.
a) I spoke:
This option is incorrect because it uses the past tense "spoke" without any auxiliary verb. In English, we use the present perfect tense to talk about past actions that are still relevant or have an impact on the present. Therefore, using the simple past tense "spoke" is not appropriate in this context.
c) I didn't spoke:
This option is incorrect because it uses the incorrect negation of the verb. In English, when negating a verb in the past tense, we use the auxiliary verb "did" along with the base form of the main verb. However, the base form of the verb "speak" is "speak" itself, not "spoke." Therefore, the correct negation would be "I didn't speak," but this option still doesn't use the appropriate tense for the given context.
d) I speaked:
This option is incorrect because "speaked" is not a valid past tense form of the verb "speak." The correct past tense form of "speak" is "spoke." Therefore, this option is grammatically incorrect.
b) I've spoken:
This option is correct because it uses the present perfect tense, which is the appropriate tense for talking about a past action that is still relevant to the present. The present perfect tense is formed using the auxiliary verb "have" (in this case, "I've" is a contraction of "I have") followed by the past participle form of the main verb, which is "spoken" in this case.
Conclusion:
Based on the explanations above, option 'B' - "I've spoken to him on the telephone last month" is the correct answer. It uses the present perfect tense correctly and is the most appropriate choice among the given options.

Vaishnavi Banerjee answered |
The correct answer is option 'D' (has broken).
Explanation:
- In this sentence, we are talking about an action that has already happened in the past. Therefore, we need to use the past participle form of the verb 'break', which is 'broken'.
- The subject of the sentence is 'the bus', which is singular. Therefore, we need to use the singular form of the helping verb 'have', which is 'has'.
- The correct sentence should be: "The bus has broken down."
Key Points:
- The verb 'break' is irregular, and its past participle form is 'broken'.
- When forming the present perfect tense, we use the helping verb 'has' with singular subjects.
- The word 'down' is an adverb that is used to indicate that the bus is no longer functioning.

falled

c)
fallen
d)

|
EduRev GMAT answered |
Explanation:
Stock prices ________ since the September 11th attack.
The correct answer is D: have fallen.
Reasoning:
The sentence is referring to an action that started in the past (since the September 11th attack) and is still continuing in the present. Therefore, we need to use the present perfect tense to indicate this ongoing action.
Present perfect tense:
The present perfect tense is used to describe an action that started in the past and is still continuing in the present. It is formed with the auxiliary verb "have" (or "has" for third person singular) followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Options:
- A: falled - This is not a correct form of the past participle for the verb "fall".
- B: fell - This is the simple past tense of the verb "fall" and does not indicate an ongoing action.
- C: fallen - This is the past participle form of the verb "fall" but does not indicate an ongoing action.
- D: have fallen - This is the present perfect tense form of the verb "fall" and correctly indicates an ongoing action since the September 11th attack.
Therefore, the correct answer is D: have fallen.

But when I _______ (leave) school I cut my hair and worn it short ever since. Correct answer is 'left'. Can you explain this answer?
But when I _______ (leave) school I cut my hair and worn it short ever since.
|
Gowri Chakraborty answered |
"Left" is the correct answer because it is the past tense form of the verb "leave." In this sentence, the verb "leave" is being used to describe an action that happened in the past, specifically when the speaker graduated from school. Therefore, the past tense form of the verb, "left," is used to indicate that the action occurred in the past.
The past tense is used to describe actions or events that have already happened. It is typically formed by adding -ed to regular verbs or by using a special form for irregular verbs. In this case, "leave" is an irregular verb, and the past tense form is "left."

I ____ (ride) three kilometers to get to work.Correct answer is 'have ridden'. Can you explain this answer?
I ____ (ride) three kilometers to get to work.

Divyansh Jain answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is "have ridden" because it is an example of the present perfect tense.
Present Perfect Tense:
The present perfect tense is used to describe an action that started in the past and is still ongoing or has just been completed. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "have" or "has" followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Subject-Verb Agreement:
In this sentence, the subject is "I" and the verb is "ride." To ensure subject-verb agreement, we need to conjugate the verb correctly based on the subject. Since the subject is "I," the correct verb form is "have ridden."
Past Participle:
The past participle of the verb "ride" is "ridden." Regular verbs form the past participle by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb. However, "ride" is an irregular verb, so its past participle is formed differently.
Usage of "Have Ridden":
In the sentence, "I have ridden three kilometers to get to work," the action of riding three kilometers started in the past and is still ongoing or has just been completed. The present perfect tense is used to convey this meaning.
Additional Information:
The present perfect tense is often used to talk about experiences, actions that have a connection to the present, or actions that have a result in the present. It is commonly used with time expressions such as "already," "yet," "just," "recently," and "since."
Example: "I have already ridden three kilometers today."
In this example, the speaker is emphasizing that they have already completed the action of riding three kilometers earlier in the day.
The correct answer is "have ridden" because it is an example of the present perfect tense.

To answer this question, we need to determine the correct form of the verb to complete the sentence. Let's analyze the options provided:
A:
listened
- This option is in the past tense and is grammatically correct. It means that the person listened to the thing the teacher said in the past.
B:
didn't listen
- This option is in the negative form and implies that the person did not listen to the thing the teacher said.
C:
listen
- This option is in the present tense and does not fit the sentence structure. It does not convey that the person already did or did not listen to the thing the teacher said.
D:
haven't listened
- This option is in the present perfect tense and is grammatically correct. It means that the person has not listened to the thing the teacher said.
Analyzing the options, we can see that option D, "haven't listened," is the correct answer. It correctly matches the verb tense and conveys that the person has not listened to the thing the teacher said.

The best example of classical guitar is described using the phrase "I've ever heard."
Explanation:
The sentence is asking for the best example of classical guitar. To convey this, we need to use the correct form of the verb "hear." Let's analyze each option:
A:
I never heard
- This option uses the simple past tense "heard," which is incorrect because it doesn't convey the sense of experience or comparison required in the sentence.
B:
I didn't hear
- This option uses the negative form of the simple past tense "hear," which also doesn't convey the sense of experience or comparison required.
C:
I used to hear
- This option uses the past habitual form "used to hear," which indicates a repeated action in the past but doesn't convey the sense of comparison required.
D:
I've ever heard
- This option uses the present perfect tense "have heard" combined with the superlative "ever," which conveys the sense of experience and comparison required in the sentence. It shows that out of all the examples of classical guitar that have been heard in the past, this particular one is the best.
Therefore, option D, "I've ever heard," is the correct answer.

EduRev GMAT answered |
Someone has stolen my CD player.
- The present perfect tense is used to describe an action that started in the past and has a connection to the present.
- In this case, the action of stealing the CD player happened in the past, but the speaker is emphasizing the fact that it is still missing in the present.
- The verb "steal" should be conjugated in the present perfect tense, which is "has stolen" for the third person singular subject "someone".
- Using "has stolen" indicates that the action happened at an unspecified time in the past, and the emphasis is on the result or the current state of the CD player being stolen.
- The present perfect tense is also used when there is a connection to the present, such as when the speaker wants to report a recent event or when the consequences of the action are still relevant.
- For example, the speaker might want to inform someone that the CD player is missing and possibly ask for help in finding it.

- Option A: "has work" is incorrect because it is present tense and does not match the past tense implied by "this week". Also, "has" is singular and matches the subject "he", but "work" is not a verb and does not agree in tense.
- Option B: "have work" is incorrect because it is present tense and does not match the past tense implied by "this week". Also, "have" is plural and does not match the singular subject "he".
- Option C: "has worked" is correct because "has" is singular and matches the subject "he", and "worked" is in the past tense and agrees with "this week".
