Hi,

'Who' is a relative pronoun that refers to the unknown driver -they want to find out (the driver ) who drove ....

I have filled the test and have a question

The police want to find out who drove the red car into the shop window.
I think it will be
"The police want to find out who droves the red car into the shop window".
If am not right , please explain me why , thank you

Hi,

The final 's' is used in the present simple (third person singular) - he drives but there is no 's' in the past simple for both singular and plural subject - he drove.
