Question number seven, the sentence here is, fortunately, he had not worked with anything poisonous or corrosive or the story may have a different ending.
00:10
And we'll notice that when you look at the answer choices, they're all messing with the verb tense.
00:16
Do i want to say may have, would have had, might have, or could have had? so the key with verb tense is always to go and track the other verbs in the sentence and see where you can make a match.
00:27
So the other verb in my sentence here is had not worked, this construction here, had not worked.
00:35
The key word here being had, as opposed to like have not worked or might not have worked or may not have worked, but had not worked.
00:44
As specific as that is.
00:46
So we're looking for the closest match to that that i can come to here in the answer choices.
00:52
I really want to keep the word had because that is a key element of the verb.
00:57
So i noticed that answer choices b and d also have that.
01:02
And i can feel comfortable narrowing myself down to that because may have and might have.
01:07
I don't know how you would tell the difference between those two.
01:12
I might have known that.
01:14
I may have known that.
01:15
They're really similar...
