The correct answer is D, because that is the only appropriate shift in tense. A isn't correct because present perfect tense (have raced) is used inappropriately, when it should have been past perfect. B is also incorrect because past perfect means that that action happened before the storm blew, which is not the case. C features future continuous tense, which is impossible due to shift in tense. Therefore, the answer is D, because there is an appropriate tense in that sentence, past simple.

What are the meanings of below given sentences
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

1. I have my car fixed.

- This is not the correct way to write this. It would make sense if it was "I am going to have my car fixed." However, the word "have" is present tense. That means you are currently having your car being fixed.

2. I had my car fixed.

- This is the correct way to write this. The word "had" is past tense. That means you already fixed your car.

Explanation:

Remember that "have" is a helping verb, and "had" is the past participle. "Have" is a present form while "had" is the past form.

<em />

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are various factors which imagines the different decisions and the situations.
