EnglishVerbs, Tenses & Agreement
Put in a correct Participle in the blank space: Mary ______, we were freed from anxiety.
- a.Having arrived
- b.Rolling
- c.Tattered
- d.Being arrived
Answer: (A) Having arrived
'Having arrived' is a perfect participle indicating a completed action. The sentence means: once Mary had arrived (a completed event), we were freed from anxiety. 'Being arrived' is grammatically incorrect in English; 'arrive' is an intransitive verb and does not take a passive participle form.
