Rewrite these sentences in the past tense with have (have is underlined)

Corrie moves from London to Belfast......

DD has drawn a blank and so have I!

[Pantone363]

Corrie has moved from London to Belfast?....

Is that right?

[dementedpixie]

I can't really think what else you could write

[INeedNewShoes]

They must mean using the past tense of the verb 'to have'. Only possible explanation I think?

You would think they would be able to write clear instructions for homework!

[knittedslippersx2]

Corrie will have to move from London to Belfast. ?

[LIZS]

Corrie had moved ...

[holmessweetholmes]

Yes, 'has moved' is correct. 'Will have to move' is not in the past tense. (I'm a languages teacher , if that helps .)

[BaronessEllaSaturday]

Corrie has moved from London to Belfast was my immediate thought too.

[elpth]

What about
Corrie and her family have moved from London to Belfast?
Or is that cheating?
It looks like a mistake to me.

[MirandaGoshawk]

I would put 'Corrie moved from...'

Why complicate things?

[WombatStewForTea]

Sounds like she's meant to be doing the present perfect tense? But its worded really badly! Is she is Y3 or Y4?

This might help. ..

[Sleepybeanbump]

Corrie has moved....

Don't understand what the confusion is. What else could it be?

[Pantone363]

I think it's that have is underlined, it makes it read like have should be in there somewhere!

[Ricardian]

As Miranda says, what's wrong wth "Corrie moved from London to Belfast"?

[elpth]

Hence add in "and her family" or "and Bob" to make it plural and problem solved!

[Ricardian]

Ah, I see, it's a contorted question. In which case is "has moved", but that's not quite the past tense.

[WombatStewForTea]

Yes Ricardian as I said before it is badly worded.
It is referring to something that has happened in the past and continues to the present.

Corrie had moved from ...

[holmessweetholmes]

I don't understand what is wrong with the question . It is asking you to re-write the sentence in the past tense using the verb 'to have'. And that's exactly what you are doing by saying 'Corrie has moved...'.

The reason they underline 'have' is to make it clear that you are supposed to use the form of the past tense which uses 'have' - i.e. 'Corrie HAS moved' rather than 'Corrie moved'.

Ricardian - it certainly is the past tense! Or rather it is A past tense, since there aare several types of past tense.

[dementedpixie]

That's not what it says though and implies you need to use 'have' in the sentence. The question should be written the way you have worded it, not the way it was worded originally

[holmessweetholmes]

Yes - I suppose when I read the question, I assumed /realised it meant generally the verb 'have' rather than the actual word 'have' iyswim.

[mrz]

The homework makes the assumption that the reader will know that a question about the past tense is referring to the verb. It could/should be clearer.

Aaron finds his computer game....

Aaron FOUND his computer game or Aaron has found his computer game

[mrz]

Has is the present tense of the verb have

[mrz]

Aaron had found
Ruby had given
