Which sentence uses the past simple correctly?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Last summer we visited our cousins in the north of the country.
- Step 1: 'Last summer' tells us the action is finished and in the past. Step 2. A finished past action takes the past simple form 'visited'. Answer: Last summer we visited our cousins. Why not the others: the other verbs are present forms, which clash with 'last summer'.
