  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
    Hardly _______ I________ the phone down when it started ringing again.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb.
    He said that he ______ for a walk this evening.
    Solution
    Here, 'would go' in simple future tense is correct because it is used as the past form of will when reporting what somebody has said or thought. Here, 'he' said that he 'would go' for a walk in future (evening). 
    'Will' is     used for showing that somebody is willing to do something or is used for asking somebody to do something. Example: Will you get up from that chair?
    'Has been going' in present perfect continuous tense is used to indicate an action that started st some point in the past and may or may not be complete.
    'Is' is used to indicate an action that is going on at the time of speaking.
    Example: The child id going to the school. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Change the sentence with the correct form of future tense of the verb given in the bracket.

    Tomorrow, my mother _________ (take) us to the movies.
    Solution
    The event that is being talked about, has not happened yet. It will take place in the future. When talking about future events that are certain or represent a fact, we us Simple Future Tense. 

    Simple Future Tense is usually of the form - 
    Subject + "will" + verb

    Here the verb is "take". Thus, the right form would be - 
    Subject + "will take"
    Thus, Option D is correct. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb given in bracket.
    If you go to school late, the teacher            (punish) you.
    Solution
    This is an example of a likely situation, and likely situations fall in the category of First Conditionals. In first conditionals, we use simple present tense in the 'If clause/ conditional clause' and simple future tense in the 'result clause/main clause'. So, the correct answer is A.  
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Complete the statement by using the correct form of the verb given in brackets.
    At the end of January next year, my father _______ (retire).
    Solution
    The statement mentions a specific time in the future when a particular event is likely to happen. So, the correct tense of the verb is the SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE. Hence, it will take the form: will + base form of the verb.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb.
    He ______ while hiding the jewels.
    Solution
    'He' was the receiver of the action and not the doer, so the verb 'caught' has to be in the passive form. If a sentence has the word 'while', the shorter action is written in the simple past tense and the longer action, during which the other action occurred, is written in the past continuous tense. So, the correct answer will be in the simple past tense passive form, i.e 'was caught'. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    [passage-header]Given below is a part of an article prepared for a school magazine. Assume that you're the editor of the magazine, and you have to correct the errors:
    [/passage-header]I was trying to climb a tree when my foot slips 
    and I fell and fainted. My friends would not see 
    me breathing and thought I had dead. They all ran 
    away and left me. Meanwhile, I regain consciousness 
    and found that I could not move nothing. I could 
    not get up to cry for help. I was having a terrible 
    headache and the pain in the back was awful. At last 
    I can see someone coming: it was my Uncle! 
    I have never was so happy to see anyone as I was 
    on see dear Uncle Tagore.

    ...view full instructions

    ... away and left me. Meanwhile, I regain consciousness ...
    Solution
    'Found' in the next sentence represents simple past tense therefore 'regain' should also take the simple past form which is regained. Therefore regain will be replaced by regained.
    Option A is the correct answer,

    "Ran' in the previous sentence also represents simple past tense, therefore left should also be in the simple past form that is left itself. It is correct.

    'Consciousness' is a noun and expresses the state of being aware, however 'conscious' is an adjective and means being awake or alert. Consciousness is correctly used in the sentence.

    'Or' is used to link alternatives. But in the sentence 'ran away' and 'left me' are to be taken jointly and not as alternatives. Therefore and is correctly used in the sentence.

    Options B, C, D are therefore incorrect. Option A is the correct answer. 
     
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb.
    We _____ at the news of her defeat yesterday.
    Solution
    Here, 'were surprised' in simple past tense is correct because it is used to indicate an action that has already been completed. Here, the news of defeat has already come (an event that happened in past). Thus, 'were surprised' is correct. 
    'Is surprised' in simple present tense is incorrect because it is used to indicate a future event on a designated date as a part of the plan. Example: He is surprised at the course of events that were unfolding.
    'Have been surprised' in present perfect continuous tense is incorrect because it is used to indicate an action that started at some point in the past and may or may not be complete. 
    Example: The candidates have been surprised at the election results.
    'Surprised' does not fit in the sentence. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill the blank with the correct form of the verb given in brackets.
    If you study hard, you ______ (get) good grades in exams.
    Solution
    The sentence contains 'if' which shows that it is a conditional sentence. The situation described in the sentence is a likely or possible one, so the sentence is in the first conditional. For first conditional sentences, the 'if clause' is written in the present tense while the main clause is written as 'will + base form of verb.'   
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct future tense form of the verb given in the bracket.
    We don't think our teacher _____ (meet) us again.
    Solution
    The word 'again' suggests that the sentence is in the future tense. 
    Option B is the correct form of the verb here, and it represents a simple future tense.
    In option A 'be' is missing in 'will be meeting' therefore it isn't the right form of future continuous tense.
    Options C and D does not make the sentence meaningful.
    Thus option B is the right answer.
