EnglishVerbs, Tenses & Agreement
Select the correct answer to fill in the blank: I am sure I ______ him before.
- a.have met
- b.met
- c.had met
- d.will meet
Answer: (C) had met
The sentence implies an action completed before some other past point of reference (implicit in "before"), which calls for the past perfect "had met" rather than the present perfect "have met" or simple past "met".
