Pls help.


The plate is empty. She __________ my cake.

(1) has eaten (2) had eaten

The sentence is in present tense, should use (1) but still already eaten,my DS said should be past tense ??

Hi

Good Morning.

I am more inclined to use the Present Perfect Tense.

My choice is (1) has eaten.

We use the Present Tense to show a connection to the present.The action was done in an unspecified time.

Please have a look at this video.

(3) was

The subject is the \"carton\" rather than \"apples\".

The carton of apples - collective noun - considered one group (two days ago - so past tense)
