​Select the option that has an error in the usage of the present perfect tense.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Ravi has complete his homework.

Error concept: Incorrect verb form in present perfect tense.

What is wrong: The verb “complete” is in the base form, but present perfect requires the past participle form.

Grammatical concept:

  • Present perfect tense structure: has/have + past participle.

Incorrectness of the concept in context: Using “has complete” instead of “has completed” makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.

How to correct: Replace “has complete” with “has completed.”

Correct phrase/ correction: has completed

Final sentence: Ravi has completed his homework.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
