Example Question #4 : Verb Tense In Spanish
Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
Cuando llegaron ayer, tú ya __________.
Possible Answers:
había comido
has comido
habrías comido
comiste
habías comido
Correct answer:
habías comido
Explanation:
The first part of the sentence, "when they arrived yesterday," is in the preterite; the next clause that has the word "ya," "already," in it, implies the next action had occurred before the first one; therefore we need the past perfect tense, which in the 2nd person singular would be, habías comido.
