Anna Hi, can I speak to Sally, please? Beth I’m sorry, she ________ (just / go) out.
Explanation
The correct answer is "has just gone". This is because the verb "go" is in the present perfect tense, which is formed by using the auxiliary verb "has" (or "have") followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the past participle of "go" is "gone". Therefore, the correct sentence is "I'm sorry, she has just gone out."Rate this question:
