    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to improve the bold part of the sentence.
    I have visited Delhi last year.

    A.

    had visited

    B.

    visited

    C.

    was visiting

    D.

    did visit

    Correct option is B

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) visited.
    Explanation: A definite past time marker like last year requires the Simple Past tense. Present Perfect ( have visited) is not used with specific past time adverbials (yesterday, in 2010, last week/year). Therefore, I visited Delhi last year is grammatically correct, concise, and idiomatic.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · Use Simple Past (V2) with completed actions at a definite time in the past: last year, yesterday, in 2005.
    · Do not use Present Perfect (have/has + V3) with a definite past time expression.
    · Example: I have met him yesterday.I met him yesterday.
    · Info booster: Present Perfect links past action to the present without a definite time ( I have visited Delhi many times). The moment you specify when, switch to Simple Past.
