Sorry, Hermione and Farid
1. "...he had fallen
down..." or "...he fell
down..." should be the right one. "...has fell
..." is wrong because the auxiliary verb "has" comes with a past participle (=fallen
). Then, using "has" instead of "had" is inappropriate because the sentences are in past form (indication: the use of past verbs "rode", "was entering", and "didn't suffer"). To me, the best answer is "fell
down". We don't really need to use the past perfect tense (=had fallen
) unless we want to stress that one event/action happened before the other. e.g. "He had fallen
down before I could grab
him." or "When I arrived
, everybody had gone
to sleep."
3. It's the similar case to that of No. 1. Using "has" instead of "had" is also inappropriate because the sentences are in past form (indication: the use of past verbs "fired" and "kept"). So, the right one should be "had
been reminded"
5. "was very starving" sounds unusual. Some adjectives cannot/should not be combined with adverbs of degree like "very" and "so". These adjectives (such as "starving", "perfect", "excellent", "superb", etc.) are called non-gradable adjectives. "Starving" itself means "very hungry"; therefore, we don't say "very starving". Just say "I was starving".
@shinichi, nice.. but it would be better if you could gives explanation in Indonesian, so the other members will be understood.
