Question

Choose the correct option to complete the given sentence.
I ______ from my best friend since we completed college.

• A. haven't heard
• B. hadn't heard
• C. didn't hear
• D. didn't heard

Answer 1

The correct option is A haven't heard

First we need to identify what tense we need to use in this sentence. The phrase 'since we completed college' is specifying a fixed time in the past. When we wish to say that an action started from a specific point of time and still continues to the present, we use the present perfect tense. Hence, we will use the present perfect tense in this sentence as well.
Option C) is in the simple past tense: used when the action happened sometime in the past and isn't continuing in the present.
Option D) is grammatically incorrect, since we do not use the past participle form of the verb with 'didn't'.

Option B) is in the past perfect used when an action is completed in the past.

Option A) is in the past continuous tense which means that the action started sometime in the past and is still continuing in the present.

So, the correct answer is A) haven't heard.
