'D'because there's no past tense for cost. 'A' is wrong because the modal verb 'must' should be before 'have cost'. 'B' & 'C' are completely wrong. 9 Likes |

chukxie:young man, "costed" exist. Though the answer in this case is D(cost) costed usage: simple past tense and past participle of cost We costed the project at $1,000,000. (simple past tense) We've costed the project at £1,000,000. (past participle) |

Boring. Nothing else makes sense besides 'cost' Perhaps a little more research to get really puzzling questions so that you can actually get clicks on that link. |
| Re: This Grammar Question Will Throw You Off Balance by ObservantFellow: 7:49am On Feb 17, 2018 |
chukxie:Depends on the usage. Cost as a verb has a past tense. But in his example, cost is a noun. |
| Re: This Grammar Question Will Throw You Off Balance by chukxie(m): 11:19am On Feb 17, 2018 |
ObservantFellow:I know what you mean. However in the question you posited, the verb 'cost' (price)has no past tense form. In a sentence like this : The new building is not yet fully costed. The 'costed' (costs, costed, costing)here means calculated expenses. |
| Re: This Grammar Question Will Throw You Off Balance by Omowiseonelove(m): 11:20am On Feb 17, 2018 |
All of the above |

femi4:Old man!I know what you mean. However in the question posited by the Op, the verb 'cost' (price)has no past tense form. In a sentence like this : The new building is not yet fully costed. The 'costed' (costs, costed, costing)here means calculated expenses. |

Is this the question throwing u off balance? Our educational system sha... |
| Re: This Grammar Question Will Throw You Off Balance by Afolearning(op): 11:53am On Feb 17, 2018 |
HELLO EVERYONE, THE CORRECT ANSWER IS 'COSTED'. THIS MEANS THE ESTIMATE OF THE EDIFICE. THE WORD COSTED ACTUALLY EXISTS, AND IT IS USED TO MEAN 'ESTIMATE'. When the past and past participle of cost remains the same, it means a specified amount, which must be stated, but the question above, no specified fee is mentioned in the question. So Chuxie and Observantfellow, both of you are wrong. |
| Re: This Grammar Question Will Throw You Off Balance by femi4: 12:19pm On Feb 17, 2018 |
chukxie:Ode! I already said that the answer is "cost". I m only against you saying that " Costed" does not exist Your initial post below: "'D'because there's no past tense for cost. |
| Re: This Grammar Question Will Throw You Off Balance by femi4: 12:28pm On Feb 17, 2018*. Modified: 5:26am On Feb 18, 2018 |
Afolearning:The building is already in place, so "Costed" is wrong "Costed" is appropriate when referring to the estimated amount of money to be spend 1 Like 1 Share

femi4:Thanks for the name calling. Back at you. I'm rubber, you're glue. Whatever name you throw at me bounces on me and sticks on you. Have a nice day. |
| Re: This Grammar Question Will Throw You Off Balance by ObservantFellow: 2:26pm On Feb 17, 2018 |
Consider the usage of cost and costed and revisit your answer. And Estimate is one of those words that could also be a noun or a verb, depending on the context.
