Choose the option that best completes the gap
When his car tyre _______ on the way; he did not know what to do.
A. has burst
B. had burst
C. bursted
D. burst
Correct Answer:
Option D – burst
Explanation
When his car tyre burst on the way, he did not know what to do.
Although bursted is not a word in English, some writers erroneously use it as a past tense or past participle for burst. As mentioned above, burst is itself the past tense form of this verb, making bursted unnecessary and incorrect.
