Correct Answer: played badminton, are you good?


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

After "seen", the base form of the verb should be used as see is a verb of perception. Using "played" (past tense) is incorrect in this context as the speaker is trying to convey that he has not seen the player while playing.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "It'd be really cool if you got on the team; I've never seen you play badminton; are you good?"
