Question 1 Report

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes each of the following sentences.
She said that she heard Julie........
Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "sing." The sentence is in the past tense, and the verb "heard" is already in the past tense. Therefore, we need a past tense verb that agrees with the tense of the sentence. The word "sang" is also in the past tense, but it suggests a completed action in the past, whereas "heard" suggests an ongoing action in the past. The word "song" is a noun, and it doesn't fit the sentence. The word "sung" is the past participle of "sing" and it is used with auxiliary verbs to form the perfect tenses. Therefore, the correct option to complete the sentence is "sing," which is the simple past tense of "sing" and agrees with the tense of the sentence.
