Demonstrate control of tenses and sentence structure:Which one is correct?
Correct answer: C. Did she clean her home?
- A. Had she clean her home?
- B. Is that she cleaned her home?
- C. Did she clean her home?
- D. Has she cleaned her home?
Explanation
OPTION A: This option contains an error in both tense and sentence structure. The correct form would be "Had she cleaned her home?" OPTION B: This option also contains an error in tense and sentence structure. The correct form would be "Did she clean her home?" The use of "is that" in this context is not appropriate. Instead, "did" is the appropriate auxiliary verb for asking a question in the past tense. OPTION C: This option is grammatically correct and demonstrates the simple past tense. It asks whether someone cleaned their home at a specific point in the past. Hence, C is the correct option. OPTION D: This option is also grammatically correct, employing the present perfect tense. It refers to an action that may have occurred at any time before the present.
