Explanation:
To fill in the blanks with appropriate options :
Mr. Sinha (a) has been teaching in this school since 1986. Before he (b) came here, he (c) had been living in Delhi. Now, he lives in a nearby township and (d) comes to school every day by train.
(a) With 'since', present perfect continuous tense is used. Hence, "has been teaching" is the correct answer.
(b) Simple past tense is used to express events or things that took place long time ago in past. "Came" is the past tense of come, which tells that Mr. Sinha came to Delhi long time back.
(c) "Had been living" is in past perfect continuous tense. Past perfect continuous tense is used to express an action or an event of past that took place for long till another action happened.
(d) Simple present tense is used to express an action that takes place regularly. Therefore, "comes" is the correct form of verb to express that Mr. Sinha travels by train regularly to attend the school.
