Read what Sharon says about a typical working day: Sharon: I usually get up at 7 o'clock and have a big breakfast. I walk to work, which takes me about half an hour. I start work at 8:45. I never have lunch. I finish work at 5 o'clock. I'm always tired when I get home. I usually cook a meal in the evening. I don't usually go out. I go to bed at about 11 o' clock. I always sleep well. Yesterday was a typical working day for Sharon. Report her activity by using the appropriate tense:_______ at 5 o'clock.

The correct answer is C. She finished work.

The question is about Sharon's activity yesterday, which is a past event. Therefore, we should use the simple past tense to report her activity. The simple past tense is used to talk about events that happened in the past and are now finished.

The other options are incorrect because they do not use the simple past tense. Option A, She will finish work, is in the future tense. Option B, She has finished work, is in the present perfect tense. Option D, She is finishing work, is in the present continuous tense.

Here is a summary of the simple past tense:

• Form: Subject + verb + (-ed)
• Use: To talk about events that happened in the past and are now finished.
• Examples:
• I went to the store yesterday.
• She ate dinner at 7 o'clock.
• We played basketball last weekend.
