1. Explanation:

   Once when Gandhiji was in South Africa, a white policemen kicked him with the boots. He fell down with a thud and lost a couple of teeth. Getting up, he enquired,” Sir, how are your boots? I hope nothing has happened to them.”

   • The given paragraph is in past form, so past tense is applied.
   • Here, only in one case, perfect tense is being used (had/have/has), that too, present perfect.
   • This is because during the dialogue, the action is being done in present.
   • Some punctuations have been corrected and added as well.
   • Teeth is a plural form.
   • How “are” your boots, as “boots” word is plural [tex].[/tex]
