The blanks of the short story must be filled using the verb in parentheses in their simple past, past continuous form, or present perfect form, as seen below.

The correct verb tenses

Each blank should be completed in the following manner:

  1. instructed
  2. took
  3. buying
  4. flew
  5. bitten
  6. demanded
  7. tried
  8. answered

We must use the simple past when the action started and finished at a specific time in the past. Number 1 is an example. The rich man "instructed" his servant in the past.

We must use the past continuous when an action starts in the past and lasts for a while. Number 3 is an example. The servant was "buying" apples for some time.

Finally, we must use the present perfect when an action started and finished at an unspecific time in the past. Number 5 is an example. The rich man asks who has "bitten" the apples because he does not know when that happened.
