Question
He _______ when we got there.a.would have already arrivedb.has already arrivedc.had already arrivedd.will already arrive
Solution
The correct answer is c. "had already arrived".
This is because the action of him arriving happened before another past action (we got there). In English, when we talk about an action that happened before another past action, we use the past perfect tense, which is formed with "had" + past participle of the verb. In this case, the past participle of "arrive" is "arrived", so the correct form is "had already arrived".
