He ________ twenty emails this week. (write)

Explanation
In this sentence, the correct word to fill in the blank is "has written." This sentence uses the present perfect tense, which is formed by 'has' (because the subject 'He' is third-person singular) combined with the past participle of the verb "write," which is "written." The present perfect tense here is used to indicate that the action of writing emails has occurred multiple times within the current week, connecting the past action to the present. It emphasizes the ongoing relevance or recent completion of the action.

Here, the past participle of "pay" is "paid." The word "already" is used to indicate that the action of paying the credit card bill has occurred before the present moment. This construction is typical in present perfect affirmative statements, especially when indicating that an action has been completed at a point earlier than expected or before now.

I ________ a horse before. (ride)

Explanation
In this sentence, the correct word to fill in the blank is "have ridden." This sentence employs the present perfect tense, formed with 'have' (because 'I' is the subject) along with the past participle of the verb "ride," which is "ridden." The present perfect tense is used to express experiences that have happened at some point in the past but are relevant to the present. It effectively conveys that the action of riding a horse has occurred previously in the speaker's life.

10.

She ________ up at 5 am twice this week. (wake)

The present perfect tense here indicates that the action of waking up has occurred twice during the ongoing week, implying a connection with the present moment. This tense is commonly used to discuss actions completed multiple times within a current timeframe, like this week.
