Question of The Day24-09-2022
Use of Has, Have, and Had
Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate response
He ________ waiting for you since morning.
Answer
Correct Answer : b ) has been
Explanation :As we can see from the sense of the sentence, it says that someone started waiting for you in past and is continuing to wait for you even now. So, this becomes a case of Present Perfect Continous Tense.
Structure of Present Perfect Tense
The structure of Present Perfect Tense is as follows:
- Subject + has/have + been + Verb (first form) + -ing + since/for + object
- Since is used for a point in time and for is used for a period of time. For example, since morning, since 1984, for 6 years, for 3 months, etc.
Use of has and have
- have is used while speaking in first person (I, We), Second Person (You), and Third-person plural (They)
- has is used while speaking in the third person singular (He, She, It).
Hence, the correct phrase will be he has been waiting for you since morning.
Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
