Question

Choose the verb in the correct form:

___________ (you/go) to the cinema last night?' 'Yes, but it ____________ (be) a mistake. The film __________ (be) awful.'

• A. Have you gone, has been, has been
• B. Did you go, was, was
• C. Have you gone, have been, have been
• D. Do you go, is, is

Answer 1

The correct option is B Did you go, was, was

The phrase 'last night' tells that the action and the actions following it happened in the past.

Option B: 'Did' and 'was' are simple past tense verbs that state actions that happened in the past 'last night'. They agree with the given sentence: 'did you go...?', 'it was a mistake to go' and 'the film was awful'.

Hence, option B is correct.

Option A: 'Have you gone' and 'has been' are in the present perfect tense. They state actions that have just happened. But the actions happened in the past 'last night'.

Option C: Similarly, 'have been' and 'have you gone' are in the present perfect tense. 'Have' is a plural verb and does not agree with the singular pronoun 'it'.

Option D: 'Do you go' and 'is' are in the simple present tense. They state a habit or routine. The given sentence does not mention any habit.

Hence, options A, C, and D are incorrect.
