MAH-CET 2026 — English PYQ

Correct Answer: (c) He has done the work

Detailed Explanation

The sentence is written in the Present Perfect Tense. The standard grammatical structure for a positive sentence in the present perfect tense is:

$$\text{Subject}+\text{has/have}+{\text{V}}_3\text{ (Past Participle form of the verb)}+\text{Object}$$

• Subject: "He" (Third-person singular)

• Helping Verb: Singular subjects require has, while plural subjects (and I/You) require have.

• Main Verb: The three forms of the verb 'do' are:

  • Base Form ($V_1$): do

  • Past Simple ($V_2$): did

  • Past Participle ($V_3$): done

Putting it together perfectly matches option (c): "He has done the work".
