2. Write the present perfect form of the verb in parentheses:      The train _____ on time this week. (not arrive)

Explanation

The correct answer is "hasn't arrived" or "has not arrived." In the present perfect tense, we use the auxiliary verb "has" or "have" followed by the past participle form of the main verb. In this case, the main verb is "arrive," and its past participle form is "arrived." Since the sentence is in the negative form, we use "hasn't" or "has not" followed by the past participle form "arrived." This form indicates that the train did not arrive on time this week.

Submit
3. Write the present perfect form of the verb in parentheses:      They _____ at home for a month. (work)

Submit
4. Write the present perfect form of the verb in parentheses:      His sisters _____ the room themselves. (cleaned)

Explanation

The present perfect form of the verb "cleaned" is "have cleaned." This form is used to indicate an action that started in the past and is still relevant or has just been completed. In this case, it suggests that the sisters cleaned the room on their own at some point in the past, and it is implied that the room is still clean or the act of cleaning has recently been finished.

Submit
5. Change this sentence to INTERROGATIVE. Mind your spelling:      The soccer team has returned from the tournament.

Explanation

The original sentence is a declarative statement, stating that the soccer team has returned from the tournament. To change it to an interrogative sentence, we need to invert the subject and the auxiliary verb "has." The correct interrogative form is "Has the soccer team returned from the tournament?"

Submit
6. Write an INTERROGATIVE sentence in present perfect using the following words. Add only necessary words.      they / talked / lately

Explanation

The correct answer is "Have they talked lately?" because it follows the structure of an interrogative sentence in the present perfect tense. The sentence begins with the auxiliary verb "have," followed by the subject "they," and ends with the past participle of the verb "talked." The word "lately" is included to indicate that the action of talking occurred recently.

Submit
7. Change this sentence to INTERROGATIVE. Mind your spelling:      Computers have replaced classrooms this last month.

Explanation

The original sentence "Computers have replaced classrooms this last month" is in the affirmative form. To change it to an interrogative form, we need to invert the subject "computers" and the auxiliary verb "have". Additionally, we should ensure proper spelling. Therefore, the correct interrogative sentence is "Have computers replaced classrooms this last month?"

Submit
8. Write a sentence in present perfect using the following words. Add only necessary words.      they / ask / a question

Explanation

The sentence is written in present perfect tense, which is formed by using the auxiliary verb "have" followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the main verb is "ask" and its past participle is "asked." Therefore, the correct sentence is "They have asked a question."

Submit
9. Mark the correct sentence:  

Explanation

The correct sentence is "She has applied the face mask to her skin." This sentence uses the present perfect tense ("has applied") to indicate that the action of applying the face mask to her skin was completed in the past and has a connection to the present. The use of "has" with the past participle "applied" is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning.

Submit
10. Write the present perfect form of the verb in parentheses:      My friend _____ a lot. (not change)

Explanation

The correct answer is "hasn't changed" or "has not changed" because the sentence is in the present perfect tense and is referring to an action that started in the past and is still continuing in the present. The present perfect tense is formed by using the helping verb "has" or "have" followed by the past participle form of the main verb. In this case, the past participle of "change" is "changed." Since the sentence is negative, we use "hasn't" or "has not" instead of "has."

Submit
11. Mark the word or words that best complete this sentence:      Tom ___________ worked here for long.

Explanation

The correct answer is "has not." This is because the sentence is in the present perfect tense and is referring to an action that has not happened in the past. "Has not" is the correct form of the verb "to have" in the present perfect tense when used with the subject "Tom."

Submit
13. Mark the correct sentence:  

Explanation

The correct sentence is "We are at home. We have stayed here for a week." This sentence is correct because it uses the present tense "are" to indicate the current state of being at home, and the present perfect tense "have stayed" to indicate an action that started in the past and continues up to the present moment. The sentence also correctly uses the preposition "for" to indicate the duration of one week.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is a sentence 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 main verb is "pay" and the past participle is "paid." The negative form of the present perfect is formed by adding "not" after "has" or "have." Therefore, the correct answer is "Marilyn has not paid the bill" or "Marilyn hasn't paid the bill."

Submit

Explanation

The correct question is "Have they educated their students?"
