Answer 1

Hint:A verb, meaning word, from the Latin verbum, is a word that conveys an action, an event, or a state of being in syntax. The fundamental form, with or without the particle, is the infinitive in the normal English definition. Verbs are inflected in many languages to encode tense, aspect, mood, and expression.
Basically Verbs have historically been defined as words that explain the state of being or behaviour. By their place in a sentence, verbs may also often be recognised. Only a verb can be inserted into the empty slot in the two sentence frames that follow.

Complete answer:
The sentence specifies an event that occurred in the 'last week' of the past. The proper form of the verb must, therefore, be in the simple past tense.

Option A: 'Saw' is a simple tense verb from the past and reveals an event that has been performed in the past. It is important to the sentence, and option A is therefore correct.

Option B:' Have seen' is a perfect tense in the present. It shows that an operation has just been done.

Option C: "Was seeing" is a continuous tense in the past. It means that in the past, an event continued for a certain moment of time. The action of watching a film is not defined here as a continuous one. It clearly states the completion of an operation.

Option D:' See' is in the current tense and implies a regular habit. Action isn't a daily habit here.

Hence the correct answer is ‘A’.

Note:First, readout the rules of tenses carefully because in these types of questions the correct use of verbs or helping verbs are important.
