Question

Fill appropriate form of verb:

I felt very tired when I got home, so I _______ (go) straight to bed.

• A. has gone
• B. went
• C. is going
• D. will go

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

went

The given sentence narrates an event that has already happened 'felt tired...got home' hence the answer will also be in the past tense.

Option B: 'Went' is a simple past tense verb. It states an action that has already happened. The other verbs 'felt' and 'got' are also simple past tense verbs and so this verb 'went' is appropriate.

Hence option B is correct.

Option A: 'Has gone' is in the present perfect tense. It states an action that has just completed or happened. But, the sentence narrates past events.

Option C: 'Is going' is in present continuous tense, but the sentence is in the past.

Option D: 'Will go' states a future action whereas the sentence is in the past.

Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
