Choose the correct tense form : Look ! Here .......... the director of the drama.
Options:
- had come
- have come
- come
- comes
Right Answer: comes
The sentence begins with the adverb 'Here', which causes inversion, so the verb comes before the subject. The real subject is 'the director', a singular noun, and the sentence reports something happening at this very moment. The simple present tense with the singular inflection is used for such an immediate, vivid action, so the correct form is 'Here comes the director of the drama'. 'Come' is plural, while 'had come' and 'have come' are perfect tenses that do not suit an action taking place now. Hence 'comes' is right.This question is part of English Grammar - Tenses, which has 4 practice questions with answers.
