Select the sentence with no errors in verb tense.

English
1 answer:
tatyana61 [14]3 years ago
6 0

The correct sentence with appropriate usage of verbs is:

They had roamed the earth for more than a hundred million years before they became extinct.

The above sentence is correct because the sentence makes the appropriate usage of past perfect tense, past perfect tense refers to the actions which have begun in the past and finished in the past itself when another action happened.

It is formed by, <em>had + past form of the verb</em>

In the above sentence, the first action that <em>“they roamed the earth” </em>is finished by the second act of becoming extinct. Hence it uses two actions in the past therefore, it used the correct form of the verb tense.

Select all the words that form the independent clause in the sentence. The movie, which we watched yesterday, was hilarious.
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The words that form the independent clause in the sentence "The movie, which we watched yesterday, was hilarious." are: The movie was hilarious.

Explanation:

There are two types of clauses:

  • Independent clauses: they can stand on their own. That is to say, that they make sense when we read them. There is no need for extra information to understand the meaning.
  • Dependent clauses: they can not stand on their own. In other words, they depend on another clause, which gives the necessary information to understand the meaning of the dependant clause.

Both types of clauses consist mainly of a subject and a verb, they are separated by commas, or they have subordinating conjunction at the beginning of the clause.

In this case, the clause between commas (which we watched yesterday) is the dependant clause. I can not fully understand the meaning of it when reading only that clause since information is missing. The clause The movie was hilarious is the independent clause because it can stand on its own.
