Aies fini
Correct Answer
A. Aies finiExplanation
The correct answer is "aies fini" because the sentence is expressing doubt or uncertainty about whether the person finished their homework last night. In French, when using the verb "douter que" (to doubt that) or similar expressions, we use the subjunctive mood. In this case, the subjunctive form of the verb "finir" (to finish) is "aies fini" which agrees with the second person singular pronoun "tu" (you).Rate this question:
