Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
We ___________ to London last Monday.

• A. can drive
• B. will drive
• C. drove
• D. had driven

Answer 1

The correct option is C drove

The words "last Monday" suggest that the action has taken place in the past. It indicates simple past tense.

Options C and D: 'Drove' expresses a simple past action.

'Had driven' is used when two past actions have taken place, one after another. It indicates the past perfect tense.

In the given sentence, only one action has happened, 'to drive to London', hence C is the correct option and D is wrong.

Option A: 'Can drive' indicates the ability to drive. It does not narrate a past action, that took place "last Monday". Hence Option A is incorrect.

Option B: 'Will drive' expresses the future tense, an action that is yet to happen. It is irrelevant here and hence B is incorrect.
