Exercise 1:
Insert the verbs in their correct form (either present perfect or past perfect forms) into the following sentences.
For example, for the verb "tidy":
‘Last week, Mel …………. her room for hours.’
Answer: ‘Last week, Mel had tidied her room for hours.’
This uses the verb in its past perfect form.
For example, the verb " shine" becomes "has shone" in the present perfect form, and "had shone" in the past perfect form.
