Answer 2

(ii) 'Have never heard' is the verb in the above-given sentence.

In the above solution, we see the usage of the past perfect tense.

• Tenses are words that signify or portray the time or tenure of an activity, event, or phenomenon.
• For example, It rained yesterday. Here, the word 'rained' is in the simple past tense.
• By this, we understand that the phenomenon or event that is being spoken about has already ended and thus, is in the past.

• When there is a usage of has/have/had, the sentence is said to be in the present/past/future perfect tense.

1. Has is used when a statement is in the present perfect tense. It is used when the subject that it is used with is singular, or when pronouns like he/she/it are used.
2. Have is used when a statement is in the present perfect tense. It is used when the subject that it is used with is plural, or when pronouns like they/you/we/I are used.
3. Had is used in a statement that is in past perfect tense irrespective of the singularity or plurality of the subject.
