Question

15. Choose the correct tense forms. I... for my bracelet since morning, but I ... it yet. a) have been looking, hadn't found b) Had been looking, don't find c) Am looking, hadn't found d) Have been looking, haven't found e) Am looking, didn't find

Answer 1

Ответ:

d) Have been looking, haven't found

Объяснение:

I have been looking for my bracelet since morning, but I haven't found it yet. Я с утра ищу свой браслет, но пока не нашла.

В первой половине предложения мы называем действие, которое началось в прошлом (утром) и длится до сих пор - это ситуация, требующая употребления Present Perfect Continuous,

а во второй половине мы говорим о результате, точнее, о его отсутствии к настоящему моменту - тут нужно использовать Present Perfect.

Answer 2

D) I've been looking for my bracelet since this morning, but I haven't found it yet

Answer 3

The correct answer is: d) Have been looking, haven't found

Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about an action that started in the past and is still ongoing in the present. This indicates the need for the present perfect continuous tense.

The present perfect continuous tense is formed using the auxiliary verb "have" in the present tense, followed by the auxiliary verb "been" and the present participle form of the main verb. In this case, the main verb is "look."

The first part of the sentence "I have been looking for my bracelet since morning" correctly uses the present perfect continuous tense to indicate the ongoing action of looking for the bracelet.

The second part of the sentence "but I haven't found it yet" uses the present perfect tense ("haven't found") to indicate that the action of finding the bracelet has not yet been completed.

Therefore, the correct answer is d) Have been looking, haven't found.
