Question

Choose the best answer from (A), (B), (C) and (D), to complete the sentence:
I asked my friend where ________ her mobile phone.

• A. did she buy
• B. had she bought
• C. has she bought
• D. she had bought

Answer 1

The correct option is D she had bought

When we wish to show that one event in a sentence happened before another in the past, we use the past perfect tense for the event that occurred earlier. In the given sentence, 'buying the mobile phone' was completed before 'asking the friend'. So, the correct option is D. Between options B) and D), option D) she had bought is correct because the noun 'she' is before 'had'.
