Pick the correct form: He ____ the report by 5 pm tomorrow.

  1. Will have finished
  2. Finished it yesterday
  3. Finishes it on Mondays
  4. Is finishing it right now
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Will have finished

1. 'By 5 pm tomorrow' = before a future moment. 2. That needs Future Perfect. 3. Form: will have + past participle. 4. So 'will have finished' is correct. _Source: SSC Stenographer Study Material, Chapter on Tenses (jkchrome.com, Mistral OCR'd PDF), section on Future Perfect_

Pick the correct form: I ____ for this company for ten years now.

  1. Worked there a year ago
  2. Have been working
  3. Work there at the time
  4. Was working at one point
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Have been working

1. 'For ten years now' = a continuing period up to the present. 2. Present Perfect Continuous expresses this. 3. Form: have/has been + verb-ing. 4. Hence 'have been working' is correct. _Source: SSC Stenographer Study Material, Chapter on Tenses (jkchrome.com, Mistral OCR'd PDF), section on Present Perfect Continuous_

  2. Has heard at present time
  3. Had heard
  4. Will hear in the future
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Had heard

1. Reported speech in past needs Past Perfect for an earlier action. 2. Original: 'I have heard the song' becomes 'she had heard'. 3. Form: had + past participle. 4. So 'had heard' is correct. _Source: SSC Stenographer Study Material, Chapter on Tenses (jkchrome.com, Mistral OCR'd PDF), section on Past Perfect_
