11. He’s still on his way here.
👉 This one doesn't have a cue, but likely wants a paraphrase. Possible options:
-
He hasn’t arrived yet.
-
He is coming, but not here yet.
-
He is en route.
But if we follow the pattern of the others, perhaps they want a
present perfect form:
He has not arrived yet.
Or simply:
He is still traveling here.
However, without a cue, the best paraphrase might be:
He hasn’t arrived yet.
