I have not saw / your sister since she / came to this city.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → I have not saw
The error in the sentence "I have not saw your sister since she came to this city" lies in the use of "saw." In English, the past participle of "see" is "seen," not "saw." The correct form is "I have not seen your sister since she came to this city."
Here's a breakdown of the corrected sentence:
- "I have not seen" is the correct past participle form of "see" when used with the present perfect tense.
- "your sister" is the object of the verb "seen."
- "since she came to this city" is a dependent clause that provides additional information about when the action occurred.
By using the correct past participle form, the sentence becomes grammatically accurate and conveys the intended meaning that the speaker has not seen the sister since she arrived in the city.
