[#405] Kites . . . . . . . . last year also.
Correct Answer
(A) flew
Explanation
Solution: Definition: The sentence refers to an action that took place in the past, as indicated by "last year." In simple past tense, the correct structure is Subject + past tense verb . The verb "fly" changes to "flew" in the past tense. Correct Answer: The correct option is Option A: flew . Explanation: - The verb "flew" is the simple past tense of "fly." - Since "last year" clearly indicates a completed action in the past, the simple past tense is the correct choice. - The correct sentence is: Kites flew last year also. Why Other Options Are Incorrect: - Option B: did fly → Incorrect because "did fly" is only used for emphasis or in negative/interrogative sentences (e.g., "Did kites fly last year?"). In a normal past statement, we use "flew" instead. - Option C: flying → Incorrect because "flying" is a present participle and requires an auxiliary verb (e.g., "were flying"). - Option D: were flown → Incorrect because "were flown" is in the passive voice, meaning someone/something made the kites fly. The sentence does not suggest a passive structure. Final Answer: Option A: flew .
