Hi all!
I am translating a text adventure, and I've met a problem
>eat tablet
No tablets have left in the pack.
What should it be:
1. No tablets have left in the pack
2. No tablets left in the pack
3. No tablets are left in the pack
Which variants are correct, and what are other ways to say that?
Numbers 2 and 3 are probably ok, while number one is said to be wrong. Why?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you.
«No tablets have left the pack» is very fun, but not correct even if to consider the tablets living forms: «No tablets have left the pack» = «They are all in there»...
