Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.

I ___ a new bicycle last week.

• A. bought
• B. have bought
• C. had bought
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A bought

A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical centre of the predicate in a sentence. Option A)bought is correct as simple past tense is used to indicate an action which was completed in the past.

The other options are wrong as ' last week' indicates the use of simple past tense, not present perfect or past perfect tenses. Option D is incorrect because the correct answer has already been chosen.
