Kites . . . . . . . . last year also.
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Definition:
The sentence refers to an action that took place in the past, as indicated by "last year." In simple past tense, the correct structure is Subject + past tense verb. The verb "fly" changes to "flew" in the past tense. Correct Answer:
The correct option is Option A: flew. Explanation:
- The verb "flew" is the simple past tense of "fly."
- Since "last year" clearly indicates a completed action in the past, the simple past tense is the correct choice.
- The correct sentence is: Kites flew last year also.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
- Option B: did fly → Incorrect because "did fly" is only used for emphasis or in negative/interrogative sentences (e.g., "Did kites fly last year?"). In a normal past statement, we use "flew" instead.
- Option C: flying → Incorrect because "flying" is a present participle and requires an auxiliary verb (e.g., "were flying").
- Option D: were flown → Incorrect because "were flown" is in the passive voice, meaning someone/something made the kites fly. The sentence does not suggest a passive structure.
Final Answer: Option A: flew.
