Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

We start by identifying the verb form needed in the sentence: 'They _________ (build) a new cafeteria last month.' The phrase 'last month' signals a past time reference, so the verb should be in the past tense.
Since the subject 'They' is plural, we choose the simple past tense form for the base verb 'build'. The simple past of 'build' is 'built' (not 'builds' or 'building').
Using 'built' correctly completes the sentence as: 'They built a new cafeteria last month.' This indicates a completed action that occurred in the past.
Consideration of common alternatives helps reinforce why this is correct:
- 'build' would be present tense and inappropriate for a time marker like 'last month'.
- 'builds' is third-person singular present tense, which mismatches the plural subject 'They'.
- 'building' is the present participle/gerund form, which cannot function as the simple past verb in this context.
Therefore, the proper completion is 'built'.
