How do we structure affirmative statements?
- A.
Subject + auxiliary verb (have/has) + main verb in the past participle (+ complement)
- B.
Subject + auxiliary verb (have/has) + not + main verb in the past participle (+ complement)
- C.
Auxiliary verb (have/has)+ Subject + main verb in the past participle (+ complement)
- D.
Subject + auxiliary verb (have/has) + main verb in the simple past (+ complement)
Correct Answer
A. Subject + auxiliary verb (have/has) + main verb in the past participle (+ complement)Explanation
Affirmative statements are structured by placing the subject first, followed by the auxiliary verb "have" or "has", and then the main verb in the past participle form. This structure is used to indicate an action that has been completed in the past and may be accompanied by a complement. For example, "She has finished her homework." In this sentence, "She" is the subject, "has" is the auxiliary verb, "finished" is the main verb in the past participle form, and "her homework" is the complement.Rate this question:

- D.
Auxiliary verb (have/has) + Subject + not + main verb in the past participle (+ complement)
Correct Answer
C. Subject + auxiliary verb (have/has) + not + main verb in the past participle (+ complement)Explanation
To form negative statements, we use the structure: Subject + auxiliary verb (have/has) + not + main verb in the past participle (+ complement). This structure is used to express actions that have not been completed or situations that have not occurred. The auxiliary verb "have/has" is used to indicate the tense, and "not" is added after the auxiliary verb to make the statement negative. The main verb is in the past participle form, and a complement can be added to provide additional information about the action or situation.Rate this question:
