Correct Answer:
A. He died a year ago
Correct answer: He died a year ago. A finished action with “ago” takes the simple past: “He died a year ago.”
Background: When a finished action is paired with a past time word like “ago”, the simple past tense is used.
- He was died a year ago: “Was died” is an incorrect passive form.
- He has died a year ago: The present perfect cannot be used with “ago”.
- He had died a year ago: The past perfect needs another past event as a reference.
Did you know? “Ago” cannot be used with the present perfect, so “has died a year ago” is wrong.
Memory trick: “Ago” → simple past.
