Choose the correct option to complete the sentence:

Yesterday he ______ to drop his uncle off at the railway station.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1: went -> Simple past tense is used with specific past time markers like "yesterday."

Option 2: has gone -> Present perfect tense cannot be used with "yesterday" as it refers to an indefinite past time.

Option 3: is going -> Present continuous tense refers to current or future actions, not past events.

Option 4: had been going -> Past perfect continuous suggests an ongoing action before another past event, which doesn't fit this context.


Hence, Option 1: went -> The word "yesterday" is a definite past time marker that requires the simple past tense to describe a completed action in the past -> correct
