<<Do we have to use the definite article "the" for each tense or not? >>

<<1.In the use of
the Present Simple.
I would use the here, yes.
2.
The Present Perfect Tense or Present Perfect Tense.
Either, as explained above.
3.Translate the following sentences into
the Past Unreal Conditional.
With the is better.
4.Complete the sentences using Past Simple or
the Past Simple.
Either. >>

the sounds better when the tense name comes after a preposition.

<<Check the following sentences,please:
A: Why didn't you prepare anything yesterday?
OK.
B: Because I
didn't know they
will would come.
(Sequence of tenses. did - would)
If I had known that they would come, I would have prepared everything.
OK.
- If they had told me they would come, I would have prepared everything.
OK.

<<1. This program is on
the air
everyday every day except on Sundays.>>
<<Which one is correct?
1. Why
I couldn't get in touch with you yesterday?
2. Why couldn't I get in touch with you yesterday?
>>
Only the second. You have to invert subject and verb for a question unless the subject is being questioned.(
Which came first? or
Who did that?)

In the future it would be more convenient if you made separate posts
for each of your questions instead of putting so many different ones
all in one post.
