Tenses
The old man (B) lived here all his life.
Explanation:
- The two main aspects of tenses in English Grammer is the simple tense and the perfect tense.
- The simple tense is used only for the relating of a single time. It does not refer to a time period.
- It is thus also termed as the indefinite tense.
- The perfect tense on the other hand relates to two different time periods.
- If the two time periods related are the present and the immediate past then the present perfect tense is used.
- If the two time periods related are the present and the far off past then the past perfect tense is used.
- In the given context, the sentence beginning with the noun phrase , 'The old man' does not relate to two time periods. Hence the simple past tense is the most appropriate tense.
- The simple present tense is not used as the phrase 'all his life' implies the past.
- Thus the correct option is : The old man (B) lived here all his life.
