Question and options
Select the correct tense.
You __________ us a lot when we were in trouble.
You __________ us a lot when we were in trouble.
- helped
- has helped
- have helped
- will be helped
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - helped
'When we were in trouble' refers to a finished time in the past, so the simple past is needed: 'You helped us a lot when we were in trouble.' The present perfect ('have helped') does not go with a finished past time clause, 'has helped' also disagrees with 'you', and 'will be helped' is a future passive.
