Complete the sentence using the Present Perfect or Past Simple tense, without using short forms: Where's Pete? I (not see) him for ages.
Ответ:
Let's analyze the sentence and determine the correct tense. The sentence "Where's Pete? I (not see) him for ages" indicates that the speaker hasn't seen Pete for a long time (ages). The phrase "for ages" typically refers to a period of time that extends up to the present moment. Therefore, the Present Perfect tense is more appropriate here.
To form the Present Perfect negative, we use "have not" + past participle. The past participle of "see" is "seen". So, the correct completion of the sentence is:
Where's Pete? I have not seen him for ages.
Ответ:
"I have not seen him for ages."
Перевод:
"Где Пит? Я не видел его целую вечность."
