Question

You are writing a letter to a friend. In the letter, you give news about yourself and other people. Using the present perfect tense, reframe the given sentence.
Dear Chris,
Lot’s of things have happened since I last wrote to you.
I/buy /a new car _ _ _ _.
A. I have brought a new car.
B. I has buy a new car.
C. I had bought a new car
D. I have buy a new car.

Answer 1

Hint:Here are three types of tenses. They are – the Past Tense, the present Tense, and the future Tense. The Past tense denotes those actions that have already taken place in the past. The present Tense denotes those actions that are happening in the present. The future tense denotes those actions that are yet to happen.

Complete answer:
Option A) I have brought a new car – Option A is the correct answer because it is in the present perfect tense as 'have' is used correctly with the pronoun 'I' followed by the past participle verb 'bought'.
Option B) I has buy a new car – Option B is incorrect because they are not in accordance with the given explanation. 'Has' cannot be used with the pronoun 'I' and the root verb 'buy' cannot be used in the present perfect tense.
Option C) I had bought a new car – Option C is incorrect because it is in the past perfect tense and not in the present perfect tense as is instructed in the question.
Option D) I have buy a new car – Option D is incorrect because they are not in accordance with the given explanation. 'Has' cannot be used with the pronoun 'I' and the root verb 'buy' cannot be used in the present perfect tense.

Hence the correct answer is option A.

Note:You must be careful to make the noun and the verb match. The passive voice construction lays emphasis on the action mentioned in a sentence, rather on the person or thing that does the action.
