Question

We ____________________ for swimming lessons last year. Choose the word that fits the blank meaningfully

• A. have to go
• B. had to go
• C. has to go
• D. had to gone

Hint:

Modal-like expressions of obligation/necessity: - Present: have to / has to + base verb (e.g., "I have to study," "She has to leave.") - Past: had to + base verb (e.g., "We had to wait.") - Future: will have to + base verb (e.g., "You will have to finish it.") The phrase "last year" clearly signals the need for a past tense construction.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The phrase "last year" indicates that the action took place in the past.
We need a verb form that expresses past obligation or necessity.
- (1) have to go: Present tense obligation ("We have to go now/regularly").
- (2) had to go: Past tense obligation ("We had to go yesterday/last year").
This fits the context of "last year.
" - (3) has to go: Present tense obligation, singular third person ("He/She/It has to go").
Does not agree with "We".
- (4) had to gone: Incorrect verb form.
After "had to", the base form of the verb ("go") is required, not the past participle ("gone").
The correct sentence is "We had to go for swimming lessons last year.
" This indicates a past necessity or requirement to attend swimming lessons.
This matches option (2).
