5. Which sentence correctly uses the past perfect tense?

The past perfect tense is used to indicate that one action was completed before another action in the past. In option B, "had already started" is in the past perfect tense, showing that the movie started before he arrived. The other options do not use the past perfect tense correctly: option A uses the future perfect tense, option C uses the present continuous tense, and option D uses the present continuous tense as well.

8. Which sentence uses the present perfect tense correctly?

Explanation

The present perfect tense is used to describe actions that occurred at an unspecified time before now or actions that started in the past and continue in the present. The sentence "He has learned French before moving to Paris" correctly uses the present perfect tense ("has learned") to indicate that the learning happened prior to another past action (moving to Paris). The verb is correctly conjugated with 'has' for the third person singular subject 'He', and 'learned' is the past participle of 'learn'.

9. How long(you / wear) ------------------------ glasses?

Explanation

This question uses the present perfect continuous tense, which is formed with "have/has been" + present participle (verb-ing). The tense is appropriate for describing an action that started in the past and is still continuing in the present. The structure requires the auxiliary verb "have" to agree with the subject "you," followed by "been" and the present participle "wearing."

10. After months of practice, Sarah finally has ___________ (learn) how to play the violin.

Explanation

The correct tense for this sentence is the present perfect ("has learned"). This tense is used to describe actions that have been completed at some point in the past but are relevant to the present, particularly when the specific time of completion isn't mentioned. In this sentence, Sarah's learning process culminated at an unspecified time before now, but the effects of learning are still relevant, as she can now play the violin.

11. The  English teacher has been teaching you English for four years

Explanation

The given statement implies that the English teacher has been teaching the person for four years. The correct answer is false because the statement does not provide any information about the duration of the English teacher's teaching. It only states that the teacher has been teaching English, but it does not specify the duration. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the teacher has been teaching for four years.
