Question

Choose the correct statement: *
A) He sweared that he had not stolen the bag
B) He swore that he had not stolen the bag
C) He was swearing that he had not stolen the bag
D) He swears that he had not stolen the bag

Answer 1

Answer:

he swore that he had not stolen the bag

Explanation:

1) sweared is not a word

3)had cannot be used with continuous tenses in that way mentioned

4) the simple present cannot be used with past perfect

AND HENCE EVERY SENTENCE IS WRONG EXCEPT THE 2

Answer 2

He swore that he had not stolen the bag. (Option B)

• This sentence uses the past perfect tense, as seen by the phrases 'had not taken.'
• The past perfect, also called the past participle, is a verb tense that is used to express events that occurred in the past.
• Further, the given statement describes a previous time in which he claimed not to have stolen the bag.
• As a consequence, using the past perfect tense, the past form of tense should be used.
• Consequently, the sentence will be: He swore that he had not stolen the bag.
• Option B is the correct answer.
