Put the verb into the correct form:The house was very quiet when I go...
The correct answer is option 'B': had gone.
Explanation:
In this sentence, the action of going to bed happened before the action of getting home. Therefore, we use the past perfect tense to show that the action of going to bed was completed before the action of getting home.
The past perfect tense is formed using "had" + past participle of the verb. In this case, the verb "go" changes to the past participle form "gone."
Let's break down the sentence and analyze it further:
- The house was very quiet when I got home.
- This is the main clause of the sentence.
- It is in the past tense, indicating that the action of getting home happened in the past.
- "The house was very quiet" describes the state of the house when the speaker arrived home.
- Everybody had gone to bed.
- This is a subordinate clause that provides additional information about the state of the house.
- The past perfect tense "had gone" is used to show that the action of going to bed had already happened before the speaker arrived home.
- "Everybody" is the subject of the sentence, and "to bed" is the prepositional phrase that indicates where they went.
By using the past perfect tense, we convey that the action of going to bed occurred before the action of getting home, emphasizing the quietness of the house.
