Answer:
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'A' - "Have you joined the church choir?"
When we want to ask someone about an experience or action that occurred at an unspecified time in the past, we use the present perfect tense. In this case, the question is asking about joining the church choir, which is an experience that may have happened at any point in the past until now.
The Present Perfect Tense:
The present perfect tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "have" (in this case, "have you") followed by the past participle of the main verb (in this case, "joined"). The present perfect tense is commonly used to talk about experiences or actions that happened at an unspecified time in the past but still have relevance to the present moment.
Usage of "Have you joined":
By using the phrase "Have you joined the church choir?", we are asking if the person has had the experience of joining the choir at some point in their life. This question does not specify when the joining occurred; it simply asks if the person has ever been a part of the choir.
Other options:
- Option 'B' - "Did you joined the church choir?" is incorrect because the past tense of "join" is "joined," not "did joined." The correct form would be "Did you join the church choir?"
- Option 'C' - "Did you join the church choir?" is also grammatically correct and conveys a similar meaning to the correct answer. However, the present perfect tense is more appropriate in this context because it suggests that the experience of joining the choir may still have relevance to the present moment.
- Option 'D' - "Have you ever joined the church choir?" is also grammatically correct and conveys a similar meaning to the correct answer. It emphasizes the idea of any past experience of joining the choir without specifying a particular time frame.
In summary, option 'A' - "Have you joined the church choir?" is the correct answer because it uses the present perfect tense to ask about the experience of joining the choir at an unspecified time in the past until now.
