Give the correct verb form: He asked if anyone _____ his glasses.

Ahad seen

Bseen

Csaw

Dhave seen

Answer:

A. had seen

Read Explanation:

  • Had seen: This form is the past perfect tense, which is appropriate in this context because it indicates that the action of seeing the glasses happened before the time of asking (കാരണം ചോദിക്കുന്ന സമയത്തിന് മുമ്പാണ് കണ്ണട കാണുന്ന പ്രവർത്തനം നടന്നതെന്ന് ഇത് സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു). 
  • Seen: This is the past participle, but it cannot stand alone without an auxiliary verb in this context.
  • Saw: This is the simple past tense, which is not appropriate because the sentence structure requires the past perfect to indicate an action completed before another past action.
  • Have seen: This is the present perfect tense, which is not appropriate because the asking happened in the past.
