Find a mistake in one of the fragments. Simon hasn't (1) finished (2) his test by the time (3) the bell rang (4). Выберите один из 4 вариантов ответа: 1) hasn't 2) by the time 3) rang 4) finished

Answer 1

Не hasn't finished, a hadn't finished

Тут предпрошедшее время (past perfect)

Ответ : ошибка в 1, не hasn't, a hadn't

Answer 2

The correct answer is "3) rang".

In English, the correct form of the verb "ring" in this context is "rang". The sentence is in the past simple tense, which is used to describe completed actions in the past. The auxiliary verb "hasn't" indicates that the action did not complete by a certain time in the past.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Simon hasn't finished his test by the time the bell rang."

The other options are incorrect because:

- "1) hasn't" is correct. It's the contraction of "has not", which is used to form the negative form of the verb "have". - "2) by the time" is correct. It's a prepositional phrase that indicates the time when the action did not complete. - "3) rang" is incorrect. The past simple form of "ring" should be "rang". - "4) finished" is correct. It's the main verb of the sentence, indicating the action that did not complete.
