Choose from the options lettered A – E, the most appropriate form of the verb (using the recent past) to complete the following sentences. As-tu fini tes devoirs? Je.

  1. finirai mes devoirs.
  2. vais finir mes devoirs.
  3. veUx finir mes devoirs.
  4. viens de finir mes devoirs ✓
Explanation

The question asks: “Have you finished your homework?” The reply uses the recent past, which is formed with venir (present) + de + infinitive.

“Je viens de finir mes devoirs” means “I have just finished my homework.”

“Finirai” is future (I will finish), “vais finir” is the near future (I am going to finish), and “veux finir” means “want to finish”. None of these is the recent past.
