Could you please help me to write this sentence formally and correctly? Many thanks! Hi, I need to write a question for the two groups below, group 1 is simple past, and group 2 is present perfect. The examinees need to distinguish the time expression according to the its above sentence. (This is the context.) So can I write the question like this: ' Look at the two groups below, tick the right time expression according to the sentence above '? Is this sentence right?

"Each question shows the beginning of a sentence followed by a list of possible endings. Mark the phrase which best completes the sentence." (I chose the word "mark" in order to sidestep any questions about U.S. versus British usage, and to avoid an ambiguity in the expression "check the phrase.")
