The three principal parts of that verb are
come
came
come.
Remember the first principal part is used with the present and future tenses.
The second principal part is used with the past tense.
The third principal part is used with the "perfect" tenses... with the "helping verbs" have,has or had
To fill in the blanks with the correct tense of the verb, we need to determine which tense is appropriate in this context. Let's analyze the sentence:
"The guests have ----," said Mother (COME).
Here, Mother is referring to an action that has already taken place. Since Mother is using the word "have," we can conclude that the action must be in the past participle form.
In this case, the correct tense to fill in the blank is "come." So, the sentence would be:
"The guests have come," said Mother.
