Explanation:

The given questions require us to fill the correct tense form of helping verbs in the blanks.

Tense:

Tense is that form of a verb that shows the time something happened, or  goes  to happen. There are three main tenses:

• Present tense: Used when things are true when the words are written or spoken.
• Past tense:  Used when things were true before the words were written or spoken.
• Future tense: Used when things will  be true after the words are written or spoken.

Helping Verbs:

Helping verbs are defined as verbs that help  the most  verb in a sentence by extending its meaning. They add detail to  the most  verb and are needed to complete the structure of a sentence.  they will  also clarify how time is conveyed in a sentence. As a result, helping verbs are  wont to  create the complicated progressive and perfect verb tenses.
