Hey there!

  • The word "verb" simply means 'description of an action, assert, or event that is made into the main purpose of your predicate in your judgement'
  • Now that we have the definition of the word verb we can answer your question
  • "Has" is past tense but it is THIRD person present
  • "Have" is when you own something

Answer: HAS

BECAUSE "I SAW last night"

Note: usually people read the sentence to themselves until it makes easier sense to them or use context clues in the sentence to answer the particular question(s)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
