Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The sentence asks us to complete: They __________ in ghosts since they were children.
Option 1: 'has believe' – This is incorrect because with the subject 'they' a singular auxiliary 'has' is not used; plus the base verb 'believe' lacks the appropriate form for present perfect.
Option 2: 'have been believing' – This form uses present perfect continuous. While possible in some contexts, it is not the standard way to express a belief that began in the past and continues now; usually we use the simple present perfect for a state, not a continuous action, with the verb 'believe' describing a belief.
Option 3: 'have believed' – This is the correct form. 'They' (plural) take 'have' plus the past participle 'believed' to express an action/state that started in the past and continues to the present, which matches the phrase 'since they were children.'
Option 4: 'are believing' – This is the present continuous and would imply an ongoing action in the present moment, which is inappropriate for a belief that started in childhood and continues to the present; it does not convey the sense of duration stated by 'since they were children.'
