Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose most appropriate option to fill in the blank:

Mr Clark ________ (work) in a bank for 15 years. Then he gave it up.

A
have worked

B
had worked

C
is working

D
worked

Solution

Option A: 'Have worked' is in present perfect tense.
'Have' in 'have worked' is a plural verb whereas the subject 'Mr. Clark' is singular. Hence the subject-verb do not agree in number.
Option B: 'Had worked' is in past perfect tense. It states an action that completed in the past, before another action happened (in the past).
It does not agree to the given sentence in meaning.
Option C: 'Is working' is in present continuous tense. It states an action that is continuing in the present. But the given sentence states a past action 'Then he gave it up'. Hence the sentence is not in present tense.
Hence options A, B and C are wrong.
Option D: 'Worked' is in simple past tense and states an action that happened in the past. It agrees to the given sentence that also is in simple past tense 'gave up'.
Hence option D is correct.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:

I __________ (not / go) to see them because I was very busy elsewhere.

A
hadn't gone

B
haven't gone

C
didn't go

D
don't go

Solution

The given sentence is in past tense, as suggested by these words 'was busy'.
Options B and D: 'Haven't gone' and 'don't go' are in present perfect tense and simple present tense, respectively. They are not suitable here since the sentence is in past tense.
Hence options B and D are incorrect.
Option A: 'Hadn't gone' is in past perfect tense. It states a completed action in the past, before another action took place in the past. The given sentence does not mention two simultaneous actions, hence this tense is not suitable and option A is correct.

Option C: 'Didn't go' is in simple past tense. It states an action that happened in the past. It agrees with the given sentence, referring to a past action in the negative.
Hence option C is correct.
Question 3
1 / -0

Make a sentence from the words in brackets using the appropriate tense:

The month of October is going on and you are talking about Ann's earning of last year.
____________________ (Ann / not / earn / so much / last year)

A
Ann has not been earning so much last year.

B
Ann don't earn so much last year.

C
Ann didn't earn so much last year.

D
Ann had not earned so much last year.

Solution

Option C: 'Didn't earn' is in the simple past tense. It states an action that happened (or didn't happen) in the past (last year).
The sentence is meaningful and hence option C is correct.
Option A: 'Has not been earning' states a present continuous action, whereas the action happened 'last year'.
Option B: 'Don't earn' is in simple present tense whereas the action happened in the past: 'last year'.
Option D: 'Had not earned' states a past perfect action. This tense expresses an action that completed in the past, before another action took place.
The sentence does not agree with the past perfect tense, as it has only one past action.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Select appropriate option to fill in the blank:

If I ________ his number, I would phone him. (know)

A
knew

B
know

C
has known

D
has been knowing

Solution

Option A:
The given sentence is a Type 2 conditional.
It states a hypothetical condition 'If I (know) his number' and its probable result 'I would phone him'. In this type, the if-clause is in simple past tense, and the main clause is in present conditional tense 'would phone'.
From the options, 'knew' is a simple past tense verb.
Hence the verb is the most appropriate one and option A is correct.
Options B, C and D: 'Know' is a simple present tense verb, 'has known' is in present perfect tense and 'has been knowing' is in present perfect continuous tense.
The if-clause of a Type 2 conditional sentence is in the simple past tense, and it's set. It cannot be replaced with any other tense.
Hence these options are incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Choose the verb in the correct form:

___________ (you/go) to the cinema last night?' 'Yes, but it ____________ (be) a mistake. The film __________ (be) awful.'

A
Have you gone, has been, has been

B
Did you go, was, was

C
Have you gone, have been, have been

D
Do you go, is, is

Solution

The phrase 'last night' tells that the action and the actions following it happened in the past.

Option B: 'Did' and 'was' are simple past tense verbs that state actions that happened in the past 'last night'. They agree with the given sentence: 'did you go...?', 'it was a mistake to go' and 'the film was awful'.
Hence, option B is correct.
Option A: 'Have you gone' and 'has been' are in the present perfect tense. They state actions that have just happened. But the actions happened in the past 'last night'.
Option C: Similarly, 'have been' and 'have you gone' are in the present perfect tense. 'Have' is a plural verb and does not agree with the singular pronoun 'it'.
Option D: 'Do you go' and 'is' are in the simple present tense. They state a habit or routine. The given sentence does not mention any habit.
Hence, options A, C, and D are incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Your friend wants to know about yesterday's telecast of her favourite TV show.
Select suitable option as your reply:

A
I don't watch TV yesterday.

B
I haven't watched TV yesterday.

C
I hadn't watched TV yesterday.

D
I didn't watch TV yesterday.

Solution

Simple past tense is used to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past. Here some action which has not taken place yesterday is mentioned. The syntax of simple past tense in negation is: did not + verb in the first form. Therefore, the correct option is: I didn't watch TV yesterday.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most suitable option:
A: Is your father at home?
B: No, I'm afraid he ____1____ (go) out.
A: When exactly ____2____ (he/go) out?
B: About ten minutes ago.

A
__1__ - went
__2__ - does he go

B
__1__ - has gone
__2__ - did he go

C
__1__ - had gone
__2__ - has he went

D
__1__ - went
__2__ - have he gone

Solution

Option B: 'Has gone' is in present perfect tense, which states an action that just happened, or very recently happened. It is relevant to the given sentence, the father recently went out of the house.
'Did he go' is in simple past tense and states an action that emphasizes on time 'when exactly'. 'Did' before a verb lays emphasis on the action.
Hence option B is correct.

Option A: 'Went' is in simple past tense that states an action that happened in the past. But the action 'go out' happened recently and the father is still out. The action is still on, hence thew present perfect is preferable.
'Does he go' is in simple present and states a daily habit.
The given sentence asks about a specific past event, not a present one.

Option C: 'Had gone' states a completed action in the past. But the action is still taking place. 'Has he went' is grammatically incorrect. 'Went' is a past tense verb but the present perfect is made with the past participle 'gone': 'has he gone'.

Option D: 'Have' in 'have he gone' is a plural verb. It does not agree with the singular pronoun 'he'.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill appropriate form of verb from the bracket:
When I _______ (get) home last night, I ______ (be) very tired and I ______ (go) straight to bed.

A
'll get ..... will be ... 'll go

B
have got ..... was ....... have gone

C
got ... was ... went

D
am got ..... was ... am gone

Solution

Simple past tense is used to indicate action which happened / occurred sometime in the past The given sentence gives past information of the narrator. The syntax of simple past tense is: verb in the second form. Therefore the correct option is: got ...... was ....... went
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill appropriate form of the verb:
It's only natural that parents ______ (worry) about their children

A
worried

B
are worrying

C
worry

D
have worried

Solution

Option C is the correct answe because ‘to worry’ means to think about unpleasant things that might bring problems which is correct to say because parents do worry about their children, and as the statement is being made in general in the present, it is correct.
Option A is incorrect because ‘worried’ is in the past tense, but the parents did not worry only in the past.
Option D is incorrect because same explanation as for option A.
Option B is incorrect because ‘are worrying’ means that the parents are only worrying in the present, current moment, which doesn’t mean that they always worry which is incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose suitable option to fill in the blank: (Use present perfect tense)
Excuse me, ____ you ____ (get) a pen I could borrow?

A
have you got

B
do you got

C
did you get

D
had you got

Solution

Option A is the correct answer because ‘have’ means to possess something, which is correct to use here, as the speaker asks if he’s got a pen( possesses a pen).
Option B is incorrect because ‘do you got’ a pen makes incorrect use of language, it would be correct if the option was ‘do you have a pen I can borrow’.
Option C is incorrect because ‘did you get’ is in the past tense while the statement is being made in the present tense.
Option D is incorrect because ‘had you got’ a pen is in the past tense while the question is being asked in the present tense.
