Welcome back — been a while! Let's pick up where you left off. Here are the answers to the questions: 1. The correct option is A. "It is raining now. It has been since midnight." "Is raining" uses the present continuous for an action happening now. "Has been" uses the present perfect continuous (implied "raining") for an action that started in the past and continues to the present, indicated by "since midnight". 2. The correct option is A. "Mark became a pilot. He has been one for ten years." "Became" indicates a past action of becoming a pilot. "Has been" uses the present perfect to describe a state that started in the past and continues for a duration ("for ten years"). 3. The correct option is C. "Tom has been looking for a job since he left school." "Since" is used to indicate the starting point of an action that continues up to the present. 4. The correct option is A. "The house is very dirty. They haven't cleaned it for ages." "For" is used to indicate a duration of time. 5. The correct option is B. "He told me his name but I have forgotten it." The present perfect tense "I have" requires the past participle of the verb "forget," which is "forgotten." 6. The correct option is B. "It is 10 o'clock and Tom hasn't got up yet." "Yet" is used in negative sentences and questions with the present perfect to refer to something that is expected to happen but has not happened up to the present moment. 7. The correct option is B. "He has been away for two years." "Away" is an adverb or adjective used with "has been" to describe a state of absence over a period of time. Send me the next one 📸
