Answers
1. (2) Replace 'has took' with 'has taken'. After ‘has/ have’ ‘V3’ is used.
2. (1) After 'has/have' V3 comes hence replace ‘sign’ with ‘signed’. Also
remove ‘over’.
3. (2) Replace 'became' with 'become'. Has takes V3.
4. (2) After 'have' ‘V3’ form of verb is used. Thus replace 'beginning' with
'begun'.
5. (1) Change 'becoming' into 'become' because the sentence is in present
perfect tense where the structure is-
Sub + have/has + V3
