b. The bus ........(leave) already.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. They have not gone out yet.

b. The bus had left already.

Explanation:

'Have' is used when the sentence is about the present tense, while 'had' is used in the past. 'Had' is used as the past tense of 'has' and 'have'. The first sentence is in the present tense because it talks about the thing which has not happened in the past. 'Have' is used with the plural nouns or pronouns. Since the pronoun here is 'they', therefore 'have' has been used in the sentence. The second sentence talks about the thing which has already happened, therefore 'had' has been used here.
