The phrase 'Il écrivait lentement' means 'He was writing slowly.' The verb 'écrivait' ends with -ait, which is the imparfait (imperfect) tense marker. This tense describes ongoing actions in the past. Présent would be 'il écrit', futur would be 'il écrira', and passé composé would be 'il a écrit'.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Present perfect tense is required with 'yet' in questions. 'Have your exams not started yet?' is the correct construction. The auxiliary 'Have' agrees with the plural subject 'your exams'. Present perfect is used because we're asking about an action that may or may not have happened by now.

Explanation

Present perfect continuous with 'since' shows an action/state continuing from a past point to now. 'I have been here since last month' is correct. 'Since' establishes the starting point, and present perfect continuous emphasizes the ongoing nature.
