Question

Complete the sentence. Choose the verb into the correct form, positive or negative.
I was in a hurry, so I ____ time to phone you. (have)

• A. won't have
  
• B. haven't had
  
• C. didn't have
• D. ain't have
  

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

didn't have

The simple past (also called past simple, past indefinite) is a verb tense which is used to show that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past. The simple past is also frequently used to talk about past habits and generalizations. The simple past is formed using the verb + ed. Questions are made with did and negative forms are made with did not.

Since, we are talking about an action which has happened in the past, we will be using simple past tense. This is the case of a question in negative form. Thus, for the simple past form, we would be using "did not/ didn't"

Option C is correct
