Dear Chris,

Lot's of things have happened since I last wrote to you.

Suzanne / have / a baby _____

• A. Suzanne has had a baby.
• B. Suzzane had a baby.
  
• C. Suzzane is having a baby.
  
• D. Suzzane have had a baby.
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A Suzanne has had a baby.

The present perfect tense is used to describe something that happened in the past, but the exact time it happened is not important. It has a relationship with the present.

Have/has + past participle makes the present perfect.

In this sentence, it is already given that we would be using present perfect tense. Now since, the whole sentence is in the third person, we would be using "has" and not "have".

("have" is used in case of first and second person framed sentences.)

so the sentence comes as, "Suzanne has"

Now, for the past participle, it the form of a verb, typically ending in -ed in English, which is used in forming perfect and passive tenses and sometimes as an adjective. In this case the past becomes, "had"

The phrase becomes, "had a baby"

Thus, the whole sentence is "Suzanne has had a baby"

Option A is correct
