Hi Jake

Auxiliary (or Helping) verbs are used together with a main verb to show the verb’s tense or to form a negative or question. Auxiliary verbs are so called because they help to form the various tenses, moods, and voices of other verbs. The principal auxiliary verbs are HAVE, be, and do.

“HAS” is the third person singular present tense of the auxiliary verb “HAVE” while “HAD” is past participle and the third person singular past tense of the same auxiliary verb “HAVE” Both are transitive verbs, but “HAS” is used in sentences that talk about the present while “HAD” is used in sentences that talk about the past.

PRESENT PERFECT he/she/it HAS STARTED (third person singular)

PAST PERFECT I HAD STARTED

Hi Muhammad Here is the information to help you understand the differences between “shall” and ‘should”, and “will” and “would”. I used repetition and hope you will find explanations to suit your level. Best wishes. To understand the difference, we need to first understand what “modals” are and how they are used. Modals are helping verbs. A modal verb gives more information about the function of the main verb that it governs. A modal verb or a modal auxiliary verb is a verb that indicates modality- likelihood, ability, permission and obligations.

“Would rather” can be used to talk about preferences. It always compares two actions and shows preference for one over the other. With reference to self: I would rather visit my mother, than watch a movie If one person would prefer another person to do something, then ‘would rather’ is generally followed by a past tense. I would rather you phoned after 10 o’clock than phone before. - I'd prefer you to phone after 10 o’clock I’d rather you hadn’t phoned me at all than phone me at work. I’d rather you remained silent than speak! – I prefer that you didn’t speak at all! Thus the best option is: C) danced than sing (One person would prefer another person to do something, then ‘would rather’ is generally followed by a past tense) "I would rather you danced than sing means: I would rather you danced. I would rather you didn’t sing - I'd prefer you to dance than to sing
