Answer 2

Norman B. HAS STUDIED algebra.

Present perfect tense is formed by joining "has" or "have" to the past participle of a verb.

The past participle of the verb study is studied; add "has" for singular subject to the past participle "studied" to make it a past perfect tense "has studied".

Present perfect tense is used to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now.
