How can you complete the gaps in the sentences? Home, only the third novel the American author Marilynne Robinson ...................(publish) in 28 years, .............................(win) the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2009.
Even though it .....(be) over three years since they .......(move) to İstanbul, thet can�t still get used to living there. Thanks in advance.

The first one is "had published" and "won". jfaruajo is correct on the second one: "has been" and "moved", although the rest should be "they still can �t get used to living there", rather than "can �t still". Bruce |

As I see it, "has" would work just a s well as "had"--it depends on from which point in time we are talking (the present or 2009).
Note: Having checked her bio, I now see that "had" is the right answer (she published her first book in 1980). |
