| Dec 24, 2020 at 11:51 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | I'm close-voting; more basic questions should be asked on ELL. However (1) 'The car has been stolen' does not accept temporal markers such as 'last night', 'on Thursday', 'when we were in Elbonia'. Only 'was stolen last night' is acceptable here. (2) All three are acceptable here, though (a) is a sentence unlikely to be met with and (b) very unlikely. (c) (meaning the cup was full of butter when bought) is doubtless what your teacher sees as the (only) correct answer. | |
