Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Read the given sentence and find if the underlined verb form is correct or not. Correct it if wrong:
    My grandparents have got married in London.
    Solution
    Option B Is the correct statement becaue ‘have got’ means they have gotten married recently or in the present, while the grandparents were obviously married in the past, hence it is correct to say that ‘they got married in London’.
    Option C is incorrect because ‘had got’ married is used as the past simple participle of ‘have’ and so is incorrect, the correct way of using “had” would be, ‘grandparents had been married in London.’
    Option A is incorrect because the verb form is incorrect. 
    Option D is incorrect because ‘have’ is used with the other verbs to form the present perfect, it is correct to use ‘have’ if the statement meant that the grandparents have been married since.... 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:

    Aristotle has been a Greek philosopher. 
    Solution
    Option A: 'Has been' is in the present perfect tense. It indicates an action that began in the past and has just completed in the present.
    The Greek philosopher belongs to history now. Hence he cannot complete the action till present 'to be a Greek philosopher'. So, the underlined part has an error and option A is incorrect.
    Option B: 'Was' is in simple past tense. It explains an action that happened in the past. It agrees to the given sentence that states history: 'Aristotle' was a Greek philosopher.
    Hence option B is correct.
    Option C: 'Had been' is in past perfect tense. It states an action that completed in the past, before another action took place. Here, there is no other action that took place. Hence this tense is not suitable.
    Option D: 'Have been' is in present tense, where 'have' is the plural form of 'has'. The given sentence does not indicate a present event.
    Hence options C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Correct the underlined part of the sentence, if necessary:

    Diane hasn't been at work yesterday.
    Solution
    Option D: The underlined part 'hasn't been' is in present perfect tense.
    The present perfect tense expresses an action that just happened, and not a past action 'yesterday'. Hence the underlined part is an error and needs to be corrected. Thus option D is wrong.
    Option C: 'Wasn't' indicates a past action that happened in the past: 'yesterday'.
    It agrees to the given sentence and forms a complete meaning. Hence option C is correct.
    Option A: 'Didn't be' is grammatically incorrect. 'Be' does not follow 'do'. 'Do' refers to an action whereas 'be' refers to an existence. Both don't go together. Hence A is wrong.
    Option B: 'Hadn't been' is in past perfect tense. It expresses an action that completed in the past, before another action happened in the past. The given sentence does not match this scenario.
    Hence option B is wrong.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:

    Where have you been born?
    Solution
    Option A: The underlined part 'have you been born' is in present perfect tense.
    It expresses an action that began in the past and has just completed in the present. 'Born' means 'to take birth into this world' and the person cannot have just been born. Just born babies are not asked where they have been born.
    Hence the underlined part has an error and option A is incorrect.
    Option B: 'Were you born' is in simple past tense and expresses an action that happened in the past. The person's birth was an event in the past.
    Hence option B is correct.
    Options C and D: 'Have you born' and 'did you born' are both grammatically incorrect.
    'Born' is a passive verb, because one can experience the action 'to be born', and not perform the action against an object (active voice).
    On the contrary, the verb forms 'have born' and 'did born' are in active voice. They are incorrect because the main verb 'born' is passive.
    Hence options C and D are wrong. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Correct the underlined part, if necessary:
    When has this book been published?
    Solution
    Option D: 'Has this book been' is in the present perfect tense. It indicates an action that began in the past and completed in the present.
    The question asks when the action took place, hence the action did not complete at that time. So, it's not in the present perfect tense and the underlined part is an error: option D is incorrect.
    Option B: 'Was this book' is in the simple past tense and expresses an action that happened in the past. It is relevant to the given sentence (that asks when the action happened).
    Hence option B is correct.
    Option A: 'Had this book been' is in the past perfect tense. It states an action that completed in the past, before another action happened in the past. The given sentence does not present the same scenario. Hence this option is wrong.
    Option C: 'Will this book have been' is in the future perfect tense. It presents a completed action in the future. It is most often used with a time expression.
    The given sentence does not contain a time expression, hence it does not state a completed action.
    Hence option C is correct.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Correct the underlined part, if necessary:

    Have you seen the news on television last night ? 
    Solution
    Option D: The given sentence indicates an action that happened in the past: 'last night'. Hence the sentence will be in past tense.
    'Have you seen' is in the present perfect tense, that states an action just completed. It does not agree with the past 'last night'. Hence the underlined part has an error and option D is wrong.
    Option B: 'Did you see' is in simple past tense. It states an action that happened in the past 'last night'. Hence this verb form is most appropriate, B is correct.
    Option A: 'Had you seen' is in the past perfect tense. It states an action that completed in the past, before another action took place (in the past). The given sentence has only one action, hence it isn't relevant.
    Option C: 'Do you see' is in simple present tense and does not state a past action.
    Hence options A and C are incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks:
    I'm going out now. If anybody ________ (phone) while I _______ (be) out, can you take a message?
    Solution
    Option D Ian the correct answer because the statement is being said in the present, although the situation is the past tense, but since the statement is in present tense, it is correct to say ‘phones’ while I ‘am’ out. ‘Am’ is the first person singular form of ‘be’. 
    Option A is incorrect because the statement is being made in the present, so the situation being explained or told about should also be spoken about in the present tense. 
    Option B is incorrect because ‘phoned’ is the past tense. While the statement is in the present tense. 
    Option C Is incorrect because ‘is phoning’ means a current action, but the speaker talks about a situation that might occur in the future. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Correct the underlined part, if necessary:

    I've bought a new car last week. 
    Solution
    Option A: The action took place in the past 'last week'. Hence the correct verb form must be in the simple past tense.
    The underlined verb form 'I have bought' states the present perfect action: an action that has just completed in the present.
    But the action has already happened in the past 'last week'.
    Hence the sentence has an error and option A is incorrect.

    Option C: 'I bought' is in simple past tense. It states an action that happened in the past: 'last week'.
    Hence option C is correct.
    Option B: 'I'd buy' is a conditional sentence 'would' is a conditional verb. It states a hypothetical sentence. But here the action has already happened in the past.
    Hence this option is incorrect.
    Option D: 'I'll buy' is in future tense, whereas the sentence is in past.
    Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Correct the underlined part of the sentence, if necessary:

    Where have you been last evening?
    Solution
    Option B: 'Have you been' is in present perfect tense. It indicates an action that began in the past and completed in the present.
    We do not mention a specific time when we use the present perfect tense. Since the time is already mentioned here 'last evening', and the underlined part is 'have you been', it is the latter that must be changed.
    Hence the sentence has an error and option B is incorrect.
    Option D: 'Were' in 'were you' is in simple past tense. It agrees with the sentence in tense: 'last evening' refers to the day before, an event in the past. Hence option D is correct.
    Option A: 'Did you be' is grammatically incorrect. The word 'be' cannot follow the verb 'do' in standard English.
    Option C: 'Will you be' is in future tense. It states an action that is yet to happen.
    The given sentence states an action that has already happened.
    Hence options A and C are incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose appropriate form of verb to complete the sentence:
    George ____ (not/be) very well last week.
    Solution
    Simple past tense is used to indicate an action that happened/occurred sometime in the past. The given sentence gives information about the state of George in last week, i.e. past. The syntax of the simple past tense is : verb in the second form. Helping verb acts as the main verb if there is no main verb in the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' 'wasn't'.
    The other three options are in the present tense. So, they are incorrect.
