Present Perfect Tense Questions and Answers

  • 1. 

    We have _____ here for a long time.

    • A.

      Be

    • B.

      Been

    • C.

      Being

    • D.

      To be

    Correct Answer
    B. Been
    Explanation
    The blank space in the sentence indicates that we need a form of the verb "to be" to complete the sentence. The word "here" suggests that the action of being has been happening in the present location for a long time. The correct answer is "been" because it is the past participle form of "to be" and is used to indicate a state or action that has occurred in the past and continues into the present.

    Rate this question:

    I ________ sent you a message.

      Has just

    • C.

      Just

    • D.

      Will

    Correct Answer
    A. Have just
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "have just". This is because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that happened in the past but has a connection to the present. "Have just" indicates that the action of sending the message occurred very recently.

      Have been

    • D.

      Has been

    Correct Answer
    D. Has been
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "has been" because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, indicating an action that started in the past and is still ongoing in the present. "Has been" is the correct form of the verb "to be" to use with the pronoun "she" in this tense.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    This sentence is correct: He have worked at the garage for 11 months.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The sentence "He have worked at the garage for 11 months" is incorrect because the subject "he" should be followed by the verb "has" instead of "have" in order to match the singular form. The correct sentence should be "He has worked at the garage for 11 months." Therefore, the answer is False.

    Rate this question:

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True

    The given sentence is grammatically correct. It is asking whether the person has ever visited Bali. Since the sentence is properly structured and uses the correct verb tense ("gone"), it is considered to be true.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The sentence is incorrect because the subject "You" should be followed by the auxiliary verb "have" instead of "has" in order to form the present perfect tense. Therefore, the correct sentence should be "You have not borrowed my book for one month."

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    This sentence is correct: The rain has stopped just now.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The sentence "The rain has stopped just now" is correct because it is in the present perfect tense and accurately conveys the idea that the rain has recently stopped. The use of "just now" emphasizes the immediacy of the action.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The sentence "They has lived in San Francisco for 4 months" is incorrect because the subject "They" should be followed by the verb "have" instead of "has" to match the plural form. The correct sentence should be "They have lived in San Francisco for 4 months."

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    My mother ______ in the kitchen all day. 

    • A.

      Have cook

      Has cook

    • D.

      Has cooked

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "has cooked" because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that started in the past and is still continuing or has just been completed. "Has cooked" is the correct form of the verb "to cook" in the present perfect tense when used with the pronoun "she" or "he" (third person singular).

    Rate this question:

      Have not do

    • B.

      Has not do

    • C.

      Has not done

    • D.

      Have not done

    Correct Answer
    C. Has not done
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "has not done" because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is formed by using the auxiliary verb "has" for singular subjects (he, she, it) and "have" for plural subjects (I, you, we, they), followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the main verb is "do," and the past participle form is "done." Therefore, the correct sentence is "He has not done his homework very well."
