Select the correct sentence from the following

  1. He gone there

  2. He will gone there

  3. He may gone there

  4. He had gone there
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

'He had gone there' uses the past perfect tense correctly with 'had' + past participle 'gone'. This indicates an action completed before another past action. Options A, B, and C are grammatically incorrect - they don't use proper auxiliary verbs with 'gone'. The past perfect requires 'had' + past participle.

  2. I am been reading

  3. I have been reading

Select the correct Sentence from the following

  1. Mohan have comes

  2. Mohan is come

  3. Mohan was come

  4. Mohan has come
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself

The present perfect tense "has come" is used when an action happened at an unspecified time before now. "Mohan have comes" incorrectly uses "have" with a singular subject and wrong verb form, "is come" mixes present simple with past participle, and "was come" incorrectly pairs past simple with past participle.

  2. You will be going there

  3. You had going there

  4. You may going there
