Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word. She ____learn to read until she was 86. A. Didn’t B. Doesn’t C. Isn’t D. Don’t

The correct answer is “didn’t”.

The sentence is in the past tense, so we need to use a past tense verb. “Doesn’t” is the present tense form of the verb

“to do”, so it is not correct. “Isn’t” is the present tense form of the verb “to be”, and “don’t” is the present tense form of the verb “to do”. Neither of these verbs make sense in the context of the sentence.

“Didn’t” is the past tense form of the verb “to do”, and it is the most appropriate word to use in this sentence. The sentence is about a woman who did not learn to read until she was 86 years old. The past tense verb “didn’t” indicates that this event happened in the past.

Here are some other examples of how the word “didn’t” can

be used:

• I didn’t go to the store.
• She didn’t see the movie.
• We didn’t eat dinner.
