  2. We went to the movies last night.
  3. We should have gone to the movies last night.
  4. We have gone to the movies last night.

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: We went to the movies last night.

Explanation: Here, the sentence uses Past Perfect Tense (had gone), but the time marker last night requires Simple Past Tense. Rule: Use Simple Past with definite past time expressions (e.g., yesterday, last night, in 2005, etc.). A. We had had gone ❌ – grammatically incorrect (double past perfect). B. We went ✅ – correct because it matches the time reference last night. C. We should have gone ❌ – changes the meaning (suggests regret, not fact). D. We have gone ❌ – Present Perfect tense, cannot be used with a definite past time marker (last night).
