A.reads sai vì đây là thời hiện tại hoàn thành.
He has read this book since Monday

Thank for your answer ! However Why don't we choose "C.since" ? In my opinion, If we replace "Since" by "on" . We have a correct sentence too ! In another hand, If the ques sentence is:" He read this book since Monday " or "He has reads this book since Monday" your opinion is correct ! Can you explain more for me ?

If you replace "since" by "on"
He reads this book on Monday
Form of verb is not correct. So, that's an incorrect answer.
With this kind of exercise, it's usually incorrect at grammar. Therefore, when you correct it, do not change the meaning of sentence.
Good luck !

Thank you ! you said that the form of the verb is not correct. However I am sure it's right.

If we used the present simple tense, the form is: S (He) + V(reads) + O(this book) + preposition of time( on monday). Can you explain more ?

[lehoangel]

Ordinary, if today is Monday, we said: He reads this book today. When you said on Monday, I think it will be past simple or future simple tense :D
"He reads this book since Monday” <~ So Monday is in past, right?

That's only my opinion!

He read this book since Monday is right. That means he's read it on Monday but he still reading it. I dont know how to explain this :( but I think this is a present perfect tense.

Present perfect tense is S + have/has + V(past participle). So the sentence from before is He reads this book since Monday is wrong.

S + have/has + V(past participle)
He has read this book since Monday.

I dont know if this is right because I'm pretty bad at grammar too, I dont know how to explain grammar :hihi: This is just my opinion, I cant really explain much. Hopefully this help you a little bit :)

Choose the incorrect word.
A.reads

C.since
D.monday

thank all
the wrong word is reads
the correct answer: he has been reading this book since monday

[Mua Sao Bang]

I will say

He reads this book every Monday.

Hey, don't say that it doesn't make sense. At least, we need a context ( misspelling?).

We can use present perfect or simple present. However, I think present perfect is the best. I guess every body like to use P.P in this sentence.

first, the wrong word (I think) is reads, of course. You can't say on monday because the tense must be past simple(action in the past), or future tense.It's just my thought. Please forgive if it is wrong
