Question

XV. Write the correct past simple or present perfect form of the verb in brackets. 1. My uncle was well known in this town. He (play) for the local team until 2022.​

Answer 1

My uncle played for the local team until 2022.

Step-by-step explanation:

The past simple form

The past simple form is used to refer to actions that happened in the past and are now completed.

It usually takes the form of the verb + ed, or for irregular verbs, a different form.

The present perfect form

The present perfect form is used to describe actions that have happened in the past but still have some relevance in the present.

It is formed using the auxiliary verb ‘have’ + the past participle of the verb.

• In this case, the correct form of the verb is 'played', in the past simple tense.

• This is because the action of playing for the local team has already been completed and is no longer relevant in the present.
