Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
- A. wroteCorrect
- B. written
- C. write
- D. has wrote
Answer: A. wrote
'Last week' calls for the simple past. The past tense of 'write' is 'wrote'.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. written
- 'written' is the participle and needs 'has' or 'had'.
- C. write
- 'write' is present tense.
- D. has wrote
- 'has wrote' pairs 'has' with the wrong form; it would be 'has written' — and 'last week' calls for the simple past anyway.
