Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to
choose the correct form of the auxiliary verb "have" or "has" for each sentence. This involves understanding subject-verb agreement in the
present perfect tense, which uses:
-
have with plural subjects and "I", "we", "you"
-
has with singular subjects (he, she, it, a person)
---
✔ Let’s go through each sentence:
---
1. He ___ never forgotten his bag.
- Subject: *He* → singular
- Correct:
has
✔ Answer: has
---
2. I ___ read this story.
- Subject: *I* → always takes
have
✔ Answer: have
---
3. My friends ___ come to the party.
- Subject: *My friends* → plural
✔ Answer: have
---
4. Ravi ___ a letter to his father.
- Subject: *Ravi* → singular (he)
- But wait! The sentence seems incomplete — it should be something like: *"Ravi ___ written a letter..."*
But as written: *"Ravi ___ a letter..."* — this is not grammatically complete unless we assume it's missing a past participle.
But based on context, likely intended:
→ *"Ravi ___ written a letter to his father."*
Then: *Ravi* → singular →
has
✔ Answer: has
---
5. The manager ___ arrived at the right time.
- Subject: *The manager* → singular
✔ Answer: has
---
6. You ___ won the first prize.
- Subject: *You* → always takes
have
✔ Answer: have
---
7. Kala ___ given a new pen.
- Subject: *Kala* → singular (person)
- So:
has
✔ Answer: has
> Note: The sentence should probably be *"Kala has been given a new pen."* (passive), but assuming active voice is intended, it may be missing the object. However, based on structure,
has is correct.

8. We ___ eaten all the chocolates.
- Subject: *We* → plural
✔ Answer: have
---
9. They ___ dressed in yellow colour.
- Subject: *They* → plural
- But again, the verb is missing – likely should be *"They ___ been dressed..."* or *"They ___ worn..."*
Assuming it's meant to be present perfect: *"They have been dressed..."* or *"They have worn..."*
So, even though the sentence is awkward,
"have" is needed for plural subject.
✔ Answer: have
---
10. Rahul and Ravi ___ not found the dog yet.
- Subject: *Rahul and Ravi* → two people → plural
✔ Answer: have
---
