Question

Choose the right phrase from the options to complete the sentence.

I asked my sister from where _____ that pretty dress.

• A. Did she buy
• B. Has she bought
• C. Had she bought
• D. She had bought

Answer 1

The correct option is D She had bought

The sentence requires it to be in the past perfect tense as we are talking about something that happened before another action in the past, which is usually expressed by the past simple. Here the action of buying the dress happened before the person asked his/her sister. Hence option D is the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect because it is in the simple past tense and not in the past perfect tense.

Option B is incorrect because it is in the present perfect tense.

Option C is incorrect as the subject has to come first and it would be grammatically incorrect if used in the sentence.
