Question

Choose suitable option to fill in the blank: (Use present perfect tense)

Excuse me, ____ you ____ (get) a pen I could borrow?

• A. have you got
• B. do you got
• C. did you get
• D. had you got

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

have you got

Option A is the correct answer because ‘have’ means to possess something, which is correct to use here, as the speaker asks if he’s got a pen( possesses a pen).

Option B is incorrect because ‘do you got’ a pen makes incorrect use of language, it would be correct if the option was ‘do you have a pen I can borrow’.

Option C is incorrect because ‘did you get’ is in the past tense while the statement is being made in the present tense.

Option D is incorrect because ‘had you got’ a pen is in the past tense while the question is being asked in the present tense.
