difference between "was to do" and "was to have done"
My exercise:
Charlie...a speech at the end of the last term, but he didn't.
A. Was to have given
B. Is to give
C. Was to give
D. Was to be given
The answer is A. But i can't distinguish what is the difference between A and C. I think that both of the answers mean: something was planned to be done in the past but you didn't do it

wow, that is a very picky question. my first response would be C, but I guess proper grammar is different than everyday. I think Annaise's answer's good though

In the past tense, the word "give" is expressed in two ways: "have given" and "gave". You can say C, but only if you add something like the word "supposed", so it would read "Charlie was supposed to give ...." so a verb is in the past tense to match the rest of the sentence.
