Question

Complete the sentence with the correct form of the verb given in brackets :
All the servants and maids................. (has, take) a day off.

Answer 1

The answer is has taken.

Answer 2

Answer:

All the servants and maids have taken a day off.

Explanation:

In the given sentence the verbs ‘has’, and ‘take’ specify the tense of the sentence-present perfect. According to the subject verb agreement the auxiliary verb ‘has’ will have to agree with the subject. In the given sentence the subject is ‘all the servants and maids’.  

It is in the plural form. As a result the auxiliary verb ‘has’ will be used as ‘have’. Since in the perfect tense the main verb assumes the past participle form hence ‘take’ will change to ‘taken’.
