Grammar

When referring to a completed action at a specific time in the past ('two weeks ago'), we use the simple past tense. 'Visited' correctly indicates this completed action, while 'had visited' (past perfect) would require another past event to provide context.

The past continuous tense ('was shining') describes an action that was in progress at a specific moment in the past. When 'we went out' (simple past), the sun was already in the process of shining, making 'was shining' the correct choice.

The past tense of the verb 'saw' is already given. We are now talking of the action....so 'steal' will be the correct option.

 Whenever we talk about two past events. he one happened first takes past perfect tense.

The past perfect tense ('had done') is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action. Here, the thanking happened after the action was completed, so 'had done' correctly places that action earlier in the past timeline.

 This is the case of present perfect continous tense.

The first blank requires 'will' for future intent ('will never forget'), while the second blank needs the simple past 'told' because the action of telling has already occurred. The combination 'will, told' correctly captures this temporal sequence.

The simple past tense 'died' is correct for describing an event that occurred at a specific time in the past ('last night'). 'Die' is present tense, 'dead' is an adjective, and 'was dying' would mean the dying process was ongoing.

Both actions occurred in the past and are described using simple past tense forms. 'Wrote' indicates the completed action of writing, and 'came' indicates the completed response of coming at once. This sequence of past events requires consistent simple past usage.

Habitual actions in the present are expressed using the simple present tense. 'Read' (simple present) correctly describes this regular evening routine, while 'am reading' would indicate it's happening right now, and 'reads' would be for third-person subjects.

The first blank uses the present perfect 'had' (from 'have had') to indicate a recent decision affecting the present. The second blank uses 'would' to express future intent or willingness. This combination correctly sequences the decision with the intended future action.

 This is the case of simple past tense

The passive voice in the past tense is required here because the national anthem is the recipient of the action (being sung). 'Was sung' correctly describes this completed passive action after the function ended. 'Is sung' would be present passive, and the other options are active voice.

The first blank uses simple past 'reached' for the completed action of arriving at the station. The second blank uses past perfect 'had left' to show that the train's departure occurred before they arrived. This sequence of events requires past perfect for the earlier action.

The simple past tense 'ran' correctly states a completed action in the past. 'Had run' (past perfect) would only be used if there was a later past event being referenced, which is not the case here. 'Had ran' is grammatically incorrect (run is irregular, so past perfect is 'had run').

The present continuous passive 'are being hunted' matches the auxiliary verb 'are' in the question. Option A 'hunted' would create 'are hunted' (present simple passive, doesn't fit the progressive sense). Option B 'were hunted' and D 'were being hunted' use 'were' which contradicts 'are'.

The past perfect tense 'had died' is required because the patient's death happened BEFORE the doctor arrived (two past events, one earlier than the other). Simple past 'died' in both blanks would incorrectly suggest simultaneous actions. Option C uses an adjective 'dead' instead of a verb.

'Were killed' uses the correct past passive tense with proper subject-verb agreement. 'People' is plural, so 'were' is required (not 'was' or 'is'). Option D 'have killed' is active voice and would mean the people did the killing.

 Whenever we talk of two events in the past the event held first takes past perfect tense

 This is the case of simple past tense.

The first blank needs simple past 'left' (completed action in 2001). The second blank needs present perfect 'have been living' to show an action/state continuing from past to present. 'Since' with a past date typically triggers present perfect in the main clause.

With 'usually' indicating a habitual action, simple present 'wears' is correct. Subject 'she' is third-person singular, so 'wear' becomes 'wears'. 'Was wearing' suggests a specific past occasion, not habit.

'Have been arrested' (present perfect passive) indicates the criminals are in a state of being arrested that has relevance now. 'Were been' is grammatically impossible. 'Had been' (past perfect) would need a later past time reference.

 Since this is the case of future tense. Hence, 1 is correct.

'Has been cheated' (present perfect passive) is correct. 'Nobody' takes a singular verb, so 'were' is incorrect. 'Has cheated' would be active (nobody did the cheating, not received it).
