question

Complete the sentence with the present perfect form of the verb.

Judith iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibring me a beautiful bouquet of daisies.

key idea

The perfect tense usually describes completed actions. It tells about something that has, had, or will have happened. To form the perfect tense, use a form of the helping verb to have with the past participle of the main verb. For most verbs, the past participle is the same as the past-tense form.

The present perfect tense tells about something that has happened or has started already. It uses a present-tense form of the helping verb to have (has or have).

The airplane has arrived at the gate already.

John and Erica have played the violin for five years.

The past perfect tense tells about something that had happened before something else. It uses the past-tense form of the helping verb to have (had).

We had finished dinner by the time Tim arrived.

The future perfect tense tells about something that will have happened by a certain point in the future. It uses the future-tense form of the helping verb to have (will have).

The race will have started by noon tomorrow.

solution

The sentence should be completed in the present perfect tense.

The subject is Judith, so use the helping verb has with the past participle of the main verb, bring.

Judith has brought me a beautiful bouquet of daisies.
