Change 'Rina won the race' to 'Simple Present Tense, in the Interrogative form.'

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is (4): Does Rina win the race?

To convert a sentence into the simple present tense, interrogative form, we typically use the auxiliary verbs "Do" or "Does" at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the subject, and then the base form of the main verb. In this case, the original sentence "Rina won the race" is in the simple past tense. For a third-person singular subject like "Rina," we use "Does." The base form of "won" is "win." Therefore, "Does Rina win the race?" correctly applies these rules. This structure is fundamental for asking questions about habitual actions or general truths in the present.

The incorrect option is (1): Has Rina Won the race?
This option is in the present perfect tense (Has + past participle "Won") and not the simple present tense. It asks about an action completed in the past with a connection to the present, which is not what the question requires.

The incorrect option is (2): Will Rina win the race?
This option is in the simple future tense (Will + base form of the verb "win"). It asks about an action that will happen in the future, which is contrary to the instruction to use the simple present tense.

The incorrect option is (3): Does Rina wins the race?
While this option correctly uses "Does" for the interrogative simple present tense, the main verb "wins" is incorrectly conjugated. After "Do" or "Does," the main verb should always be in its base form (infinitive without "to"), not the third-person singular form ending in 's'.
