Discussion
A sentence has been given with a blank to be filled with an appropriate word. Choose the correct alternative. I ______ my TV repaired yesterday.
Answer: B
The sentence 'I ______ my TV repaired yesterday' is a causative construction, in which someone else did the work, so the speaker arranged for it. It takes have or had followed by the object and the past participle, and the time word yesterday needs the past tense, so the correct word is had. The words have and has are present tense and do not fit yesterday, and will have is future. The answer is had, option (B). In the same way, 'I had my hair cut' or 'I had the car serviced' use had with an object and a past participle, to say that someone else did the work.
