Question

Which is correct grammar 'He has already come.' or 'He has already came.' ?

Answer 1

Hint: In the above question we have to study the given sentences, find out the tense of the sentence and then identify which of the given sentences is grammatically correct.

Complete answer:
We have to identify which of the sentences is correctly written in the present perfect tense.
Let us first understand some important points-
i) Tenses tell us about the state of an event/activity/person and about time. There are three main tenses: present, past and future. These tenses are further divided into 4 parts each. The 4 subparts are simple, perfect, continuous and perfect continuous.
ii) Verbs are action words. Verbs can be written in different tenses.
iii) ‘Has’ is a form of the verb. It is used with he,she, it i.e. the third person singular.
iv)‘Has’ is a changed form of ‘to have’. It is a present form of the verb.
v) Has behaved as an auxiliary verb when written in present perfect form.
vi) In a perfect tense, the third form of the verb is used.

1) Correct option - The sentence 'He has already come' is the correct option. The main verb ‘come’ is the third form of the verb. The sentence is given in the present perfect tense where the auxiliary verb ‘has’ is used which is grammatically correct as per point 5.

2) Incorrect option - The sentence ‘He has already came’ is the incorrect option because the main verb ‘come’ is given in the second form of the verb which is ‘came’. We use only the third form of the verb to form a perfect tense.

Note: Already is an adverb that is written between the auxiliary verb ‘has’ and the main verb ‘ come’. Adverbs are written after the auxiliary verbs when the ‘to have’ form of verbs are given as auxiliary verbs.
