Answer 2

Before I share the answer. Tell me from your basic understanding. What is a principal part.

Answer 3

Do you know?

Answer 4

The principal parts of a verb are the four forms of the verb from which all forms of the verb can be made. In English the four principal parts are the present (or infinitive), the past tense, the past participle, and the present participle.

Answer 5

Well then, no?

The principal parts are a verb’s basic forms, from which its other forms can be created by inflection or conjugation. In English, there are three principal parts. These are the simple present indicative, the simple past indicative, and the past perfect indicative.

It is worth noting that lists or recitations of principal parts in English often omit the third principal part’s auxiliary verb, rendering it identically to its grammatically distinct participial form.

There are two kinds of verb in English, regular (or weak) and irregular (or strong). Regular verbs’ second and third principal parts are identical (with the exception that the third principal part takes the auxiliary verb “have”), e.g. play, played, (have) played. Irregular verbs’ second and/or third principal parts contain at least a stem vowel change, e.g. do, did, (have) done. - wikipeida

When he/she says, 'I have NEVER beaten' his grandfather, what does he speak in?

Answer 7

It seems past, but he still uses the term, have.

Answer 11

back, I think it maybe past participles, since it said in the first link

Present Present Participle Past Past past participle
come (is) coming came (have) come
fall (is) falling fell (have) fallen
go (is) going went (have) gone
graduate (is) graduating graduated (have) graduated
know (is) knowing knew (have) known
run (is) running ran (have) run
write (is) writing wrote (have) written


'Have' is usually is present, however, it says never and beaten, so the greater chance is D.
