Read what Sharon says about a typical working day:

Sharon: I usually get up at 7 o'clock and have a big breakfast. I walk to work, which takes me about half an hour. I start work at 8:45. I never have lunch. I finish work at 5 o'clock. I 'm always tired when I get home. I usually cook a meal in the evening. I don't usually go out. I go to bed at about 11 o' clock. I always sleep well.

________ out yesterday evening.

• A. She hasn't gone
• B. She didn't go
• C. She won't go
• D. She went

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

She didn't go

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.

Since, we are talking about some generalized past habits (day before/yesterday) and that too at a specific time (which is mentioned in the paragraph), we would be using simple past tense.

Option A is in the past perfect form

Option B is correct as it is in the simple past form

Option C is in future tense

Option D is past tense

Option B is correct
