Present Perfect Vs Past Simple - Mixed - Quiz


Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    I ________ here all my life. (live)

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "have lived,'ve lived." This is because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about actions that started in the past and are still continuing in the present. The word "have lived" is the present perfect form of the verb "live," and "'ve lived" is the contraction of "have lived." Therefore, both options are correct and can be used interchangeably in this sentence.

  • 2. 

    I ________ to England twice last year. (go)

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "went" because it is the past tense form of the verb "go". In the sentence, the speaker is referring to their action of going to England twice last year. Since the action happened in the past, the verb needs to be in the past tense.

  • 3. 

    ________ the news? (you, see)

    Explanation
    The question is asking for the correct word to fill in the blank. The correct answer is "have you seen." This is because the question is in the present perfect tense, which requires the auxiliary verb "have" followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the main verb is "see," and its past participle is "seen." Therefore, "have you seen" is the correct form to use in this question.
