[amp_mcq option1=”had began” option2=”had begun” option3=”would begin” option4=”No improvement” correct=”option4″]
The correct answer is D. No improvement.
The sentence “The film show began when we arrived in the hall” is in the simple past tense. This is the correct tense to use because it describes a completed action. The film show had already started by the time the speaker arrived.
The other options are incorrect because they use different tenses. Option A, “had began,” is in the past perfect tense. This tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another action in the past. In this sentence, there is no other action in the past that the film show was completed before. Option B, “had begun,” is also in the past perfect tense. This tense is also used to describe an action that was completed before a certain point in time in the past. In this sentence, there is no certain point in time in the past that the film show was completed before. Option C, “would begin,” is in the future tense. This tense is used to describe an action that will happen in the future. In this sentence, the film show has already started, so it cannot be described as something that will happen in the future.
