Question

(1) I (reach) the school before the bell rang (A) Reached

(B) Have reached (C) Was reaching

(D) Had reached​

Answer 1

(D) Had reached- I had reached the school before the bell rang.

• The phrase ' had reached' which is used in the completion of the sentence is an example of a verb written using the past perfect tense.
• The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another action started in the past and in the case of this question it indicates that the action of reaching the school was completed before the bell rang.
• ' Reached ' is a verb that is written using the past simple tense and it does not show that one action happened before another in the past.
• The option ' have reached ' is the present perfect tense and it is used to talk about an action that happened at an unspecified time before now or that started in the past and continues in the present and so this will be the incorrect option.
• ' Was reaching ' is the past continuous tense and it is used to talk about an action that was in progress at a specific time in the past and so this is also the incorrect choice.
• Therefore the correct option is  (D) Had reached- I had reached the school before the bell rang.
