Question

Fill in the blank using an appropriate option-
What time _____ (leave) tomorrow?
A. Did your train leave
B. Will your train left
C. Does your train leave
D. Has your train left

Answer 1

Hint: Tenses- verb tenses tells us how an action relates to the flow of time. There are three main verb tenses: present, past and future.

Complete answer:
Future tense is used in this sentence so we have to give an answer in the future tense only. Future tense is a verb form that describes the future activity or to any activity occurring in the future. For example- He will come to Delhi tomorrow.

Option A) Did your train leave – is an incorrect answer because they are in the past tense, and they mean that the train has already left, which is incorrect because the train is to leave tomorrow. Hence, this is the incorrect answer.

Option B) Will your train left – is an incorrect answer because they are in the past tense. One part of the option is past perfect and the other will be simple past tense. So, here the train left is past perfect and the station is simple past (meaning: that the train has already left, which is incorrect because the train is to leave tomorrow). Hence, this is the incorrect answer.

Option C) Does your train leave – is the correct answer because ‘does’ is used for singular third person form, and does is used in a question to ask about it, as in here, does is used correctly to ask what time the train leaves. Hence, this is the correct answer.

Option D) Has your train left – is an incorrect answer because they are in the past tense and we need the answer in the future tense (because our statement is in future tense), which is incorrect because the train is to leave tomorrow. Hence, this is the incorrect answer.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note: In such questions, it is very important to understand the tenses and their proper usage. Tenses are very important in framing a correct sentence. Each tense indicates the connection between two or more time periods or the exact time period or the activity that occurred. The tenses are used to create different meanings from the same verbs and help to understand the story or the sentence.
