  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

    _____ they rented it before you called?

    Solution

    In the given sentence, the word 'rented' indicates that the tense of the sentence is past tense. Also, 'rented' is an incomplete verb and requires an auxiliary to complete it. Thus, the answer must be an auxiliary verb in its past tense.

    Option A is incorrect. 'How' is an interrogative pronoun and not an auxiliary verb. Thus, it cannot be the answer.
    Option B is incorrect. 'Who' is an interrogative pronoun and not an auxiliary verb. Thus, it cannot be the answer.
    Option C is incorrect. 'Did' is an auxiliary verb in the past tense but, it makes the tense of the sentence simple past. According to the rules of usage, in simple past tense, if the auxiliary is in the past tense then the main verb has to be in its present form. Thus, using 'did' will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
    Option D is correct. 'Had' is an auxiliary in the past tense. It makes the tense of the sentence past perfect. According the rules of usage, in the perfect tenses the main verb has to be in its past participle form. Thus, it justifies the presence of the word 'rented'. Therefore, it is the correct answer.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with the correct person of the verb:

    I _______ to the teacher.

    Solution

    The person and number of the verb is always the same as that of the subject of the sentence.

    Option B is correct. The subject "I" is first person singular. Thus, it requires a first person singular verb, namely, "speak".
    Option A is incorrect since "speaks" is not first person. It is third person.
    Option C is incorrect as "speaking" is incomplete. It should be "am speaking".
    Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in B.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.

    Are you _______? Or is the book _______?

    Solution

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.

    The advisor has not yet returned the student lists, but when ____ they will be put on the bulletin board.

    Solution

    In the given sentence, there is a conjunction 'but' and the second clause does not contain a verb. Therefore, the answer must contain a verb. Further, the second clause also does not contain a subject. Thus, the answer must also include a subject that matches the subject in the first sentence, that is, the answer must contain pronoun that matches with 'the advisor' which must be a third person singular pronoun. Also, since the tense of the first clause is present tense, the answer must also be in the present tense and since, the action in both the clauses is the same, the verb must be a form of the verb 'do'

    Option A is incorrect. In 'he will', 'will' is in the simple future tense, and hence, is incorrect. Further, 'will' is also not a form of 'do'.
    Option B is incorrect. In 'they do', although 'do' is present, 'they' is a third person plural pronoun. Thus, it is incorrect
    Option C is correct. 'he does' contains a third person pronoun 'he'. Further, the verb 'does' is the simple present form of 'do' for third person singular pronouns. Thus, it is the correct answer.
    Option D is incorrect. 'they are' contains a third person plural pronoun 'they', making it incorrect. Further, the verb 'are' is also not a form the verb 'do'. Thus, it is incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Name the part of speech of the underlined word in the following sentence:

    Muslims fast in the month of Ramzan.

    Solution

    In the above sentence, the underline word needs to be identified. Fast means to eat little or no food for a period of time, especially for religious or health reasons Muslims fast during Ramadan. During Ramadan they fast from dawn to sunset. From this explanation we can understand that the word is a verb. 

    Option B is correct.

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

    She is _____ to school by her mother every morning.

    Solution

    The given sentence is in passive voice which is formed with verb 'be' and the past participle of the verb. Past participle of the verb (take) is taken thus option B is correct. Thus, sentence would become - She is taken to school by her mother every morning. 

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks with a suitable verb.

    It _____ very cheap.

    Solution
    Option B is the correct answer. Since it is a third person singular number pronoun, the following verb will be in the singular. The personal first person pronoun am is incorrect here. Has indicates belonging, which isn't stated here. Thus, options A,C and D are all incorrect. 

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb:

    She _______ coffee to tea.

    Solution

    The person and number of the verb is always the same as that of the subject of the sentence. 

    option A is correct. "She" is third person singular and thus requires the third person singular verb "prefers". Thus, A is correct.
    Option B is incorrect since "prefer" is plural and not singular.
    Option C is incorrect since "preferring" is incomplete. It should be "is preferring".
    Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in A.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with a suitable word:

    He enjoys ______ on exotic holidays.

    Solution
    In grammar, some verbs are followed by the gerund form of an another verb. One such verb is "enjoy".
    A verb is converted to it's gerund form by adding "-ing" to the base form of the verb.

    Therefore, the gerund form of the verb "go", is "going".

    Thus, the correct complete sentence is:
    He enjoys  GOING  on exotic holidays.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

    She _____ French and English, so she has got a good job.

    Solution
    It is clear from the sentence that the answer must be a verb. The answer is a verb the subject does in the present but isn't currently doing and thus, it must be in simple present tense. Also, in accordance with the subject-verb concord, a verb following a third person singular pronoun must end in 's'.
    Option A is incorrect. It is a verb in simple present tense but it does not have 's' at its end and thus it cannot follow a third person singular pronoun.
    Option B is correct. It is a verb in simple present tense. It also has the required 's' at its end and so it can accompany a third person singular pronoun. 
    Option C is incorrect. 'Speaking' is in present continuous tense and not in simple present tense. In this case, 'speaking' is also an incomplete verb. Thus, it cannot be the answer.
    Option D is incorrect. It is a verb in present continuous tense and not in simple present tense. Thus, it is incorrect.
  • Question 11
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with the correct person of the verb:

    I _______ for a run every morning.

    Solution

    The person and number of the verb is always the same as that of the subject of the sentence.

    Option A is correct. The subject "I" is first person singular. Thus, it requires a first person singular verb, namely, "go".
    Option B is incorrect since "goes" is not first person. It is third person.
    Option C is incorrect as "going" is incomplete. It should be "am going".
    Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in A.
  • Question 12
    1 / -0

    In the following question, choose the correct option to fill the blank:

    _________ of the students were making a lot of noise.

    Solution

    Anyone, Somebody, and Nobody' are considered singular but 'Many' is plural. The helping verb is 'were' which is plural in number. Therefore, the correct option to fill in the blank (complying with the number of the verb) is C: Many. 

  • Question 13
    1 / -0

    What are the verbs that form their past and past participle tense in a different way than adding an 'ed'?

    Solution

    Regular verbs form the past and past participle tense with the addition of -ed at the end of the base form of the verb. Hence, option A, 'regular verbs' is incorrect.

    The infinitive is the base of a verb, often followed by 'to'. It does not form a past participle tense. Therefore, option C is incorrect.

    Option D, will also be incorrect as gerund is that form of the verb which ends in -ing, but plays the role of a noun. It is not used to form the past participle tense.

    The correct option is option B as the past and past participle form of an irregular verb is not formed with the addition of -ed at the end of the base form of the verb.

    Solution
