This watch was given to me by my grandfather.

My grandfather gave me this watch.
My grandfather gives me this watch.
My grandfather had given this watch to me.
My grandfather has given this watch to me.

The correct answer is: A. My grandfather gave me this watch.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the tense of the sentence “This watch was given to me by my grandfather.”

  • Option B, “My grandfather gives me this watch,” is in the present tense. However, the sentence “This watch was given to me by my grandfather” is in the past tense. This suggests that the grandfather gave the watch to the speaker at some point in the past, and is not currently giving it to them.
  • Option C, “My grandfather had given this watch to me,” is in the past perfect tense. This tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another action in the past. However, the sentence “This watch was given to me by my grandfather” does not describe two actions in the past. It simply describes one action that happened at some point in the past.
  • Option D, “My grandfather has given this watch to me,” is in the present perfect tense. This tense is used to describe an action that started in the past and continues into the present. However, the sentence “This watch was given to me by my grandfather” does not describe an action that started in the past and continues into the present. It simply describes one action that happened at some point in the past.

Therefore, the correct answer is: A. My grandfather gave me this watch.
