Which sentence uses Standard English?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. I did my homework before dinner.
- Step 1: Standard English uses the correct past tense form 'did'.
- Step 2: 'I did my homework' is correct; 'done' needs an auxiliary like 'have'.
Answer
I did my homework before dinner.
Why not the others: I done my homework before dinner.: 'Done' needs an auxiliary verb such as 'have'. I does my homework before dinner.: 'Does' does not match the subject I or the past time. I doing my homework before dinner.: 'Doing' needs 'was' to be complete.
