    Question

    Identify the correct tense form of the highlighted part in the given sentence.
    I had finished writing the letter when he arrived.

    A.

    Past Perfect Continuous

    B.

    Simple Past

    C.

    Present Perfect

    D.

    Past Perfect

    Correct option is D


    Correct tense: (d) Past Perfect
    Meaning (in detail):
    • Past Perfect is used to show that one action was completed before another past action.
    • Hindi: भूतकाल की दो घटनाओं में जो पहले पूरी हो जाए, उसके लिए Past Perfect
    Identification:
    • “had finished” = had + V³ → Past Perfect.
    • “arrived” is simple past; the finishing happened before arrival.
    Grammatical rule (English):
    • Past Perfect = had + V³ (earlier past action)
    व्याकरणिक नियम (Hindi):
    • Past Perfect की रचना: had + V³; दो past actions में पहले वाली क्रिया के लिए उपयोग।
    Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
