Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill appropriate form of verb:
    Isn't it typical of Ron that he _____ (leave) without saying goodbye to anybody and when the party is still going on?
    Solution
    The given sentence states an action in the present tense: 'isn't' and 'still going on'.
    The action 'to leave' has just happened, hence the person comments on that action.
    Option C: 'Has left' is in present perfect tense and states an action just completed. It is relevant to the given sentence and hence C is correct.
    Option A: 'Leave' is the base verb and does not express the tense here.
    Option B: 'Left' is a simple past tense verb whereas the sentence is in present.
    Option D: 'Is leaving' is a continuous action, but the person commented as the action has already completed.
    Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using an appropriate option:

    Sorry I'm late. The car _____ (break) down on my way here.
    Solution
    The first sentence states a present situation 'I am late'.
    The next sentence gives the reason behind being late.
    The reason has already happened, hence the current situation 'I am late'.
    ('I'm' is a contraction of 'I am.)
    Hence the sentence will be in past tense.
    Option B: 'Broke' is a simple past tense verb and states an action already happened. Hence option B is correct.
    Option A: 'Break' is the base verb and does not state what tense it is.
    Option C: 'Has broken' is in present perfect tense and states that an action that has just happened. But, the action in the sentence has already happened.
    Option D: 'Will break' is in future tense and states an action yet to happen.
    The action in the sentence has already happened.
    Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence using appropriate option:
    We couldn't visit the museum. We ________________. (enough time)
    Solution
    The first sentence is in simple past tense. It states an action 'couldn't visit' in the past moment. 'Could' is a past tense modal verb. The second sentence 'not enough time' is the reason behind the first 'couldn't visit the museum'.
    Hence the second sentence will also be in past tense.
    Option C: 'Didn't have' is in simple past tense and states an action that happened in the past. It's the most appropriate option, expressing the past tense. Hence option C is correct.
    Option A: 'Don't have' expresses the simple present tense, as opposed to the past action here 'couldn't'.
    Option B: 'Hadn't have is not a correct phrase. 'Had' in 'had not' is a past tense verb and 'have' refers to the present.
    ('Haven't had' is correct since 'have' expresses the present perfect, along with the past participle 'had')
    Option D: We use the past participle 'had' after 'haven't' to express the present perfect tense. But the present tense verb 'have' is not used as a main verb in a perfect tense.
    The first 'have' is an auxiliary and the second 'have' is the main verb.
    Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Select the verb into the most suitable form:
    Jim was on his hands and knees on the floor. He _______ (look) for his contact lens.
    Solution
    The sentence describes an action that was continuing in the past 'looking for contact lenses'. Hence the sentence will be in past continuous tense.
    Option D: 'Was looking' is in past continuous tense and describes an action continuing as the speaker narrated the past event. It completes the sentence in form and meaning. Hence option D is correct.
    Option A: 'Looked' is a simple past tense verb and describes a past action.
    It isn't suitable because it doesn't sound quite right, as a continuation of the first sentence. As a result, both actions sound unrelated and the meaning is incomplete.
    Option B: 'Has been looking' is in the present perfect continuous tense. It describes an action at present.
    Option C: 'Has looked' is in the present perfect tense and describes a present action.
    They do not describe the past action appropriately, hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks using the most appropriate form of verb:
    _____________ a bicycle when you were a child?
    Solution
    The given sentence is in past tense, as the clause "when you were a child" suggests.
    Option B: 'Did you have' is in simple past tense and asks if the person 'had a bicycle'.
    (When we use the verb 'did', it already refers to the past tense. Hence it is followed by a present tense verb 'have' and not a past tense verb.)
    So, option B is correct.
    Option A: 'Do you have' refers to the simple present tense- a habit or general truth. It does not refer to the past.
    Option C: 'Were you having' states a continuous action in the past. The action 'to own' or 'to have' is complete within itself and is not in continuous tense.
    Option D: 'Had you have' is incorrect. 'Had' as an auxiliary refers to the past whereas the main verb 'have' is a simple present tense.
    Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Put the verb in the correct form:

    You're always tired. If you ________ to bed so late every night, you wouldn't be tired all the time. (not/go)
    Solution
    Option B:
    The given sentence is a Type 2 conditional.
    It states a hypothetical condition 'If you (didn't go) to bed so late' and its probable result 'you wouldn't be tired all the time'. In this type, the if-clause is in simple past tense, and the main clause is in present conditional tense 'wouldn't be tired'.
    From the options, 'didn't go' is a simple past tense verb.
    Hence the verb is the most appropriate one and option B is correct.
    Options B, C and D: 'Hadn't gone' is in past perfect tense, 'hasn't gone' is in present perfect tense and 'didn't gone' is not a correct verb phrase. 'Did' in 'didn't gone' is already in past tense, hence the verb that follows is a base verb 'go'.
    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 7
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence using appropriate option:
    He couldn't find his way to our house. (a map) _______
    Solution
    The first sentence is in simple past tense. It states an action 'couldn't find' in the past moment. 'Could' is a past tense modal verb. The second sentence 'no map' is the reason behind the first 'couldn't find his way'.
    Hence the second sentence will also be in past tense.
    Option B: 'Didn't have' is in simple past tense and states an action that happened in the past. It's the most appropriate option, expressing the past tense. Hence option B is correct.
    Option A: 'Don't have' expresses the simple present tense, as opposed to the past action here 'couldn't'.
    Option C: 'Hadn't have is not a correct phrase. 'Had' in 'had not' is a past tense verb and 'have' refers to the present.
    ('Haven't had' is correct since 'have' expresses the present perfect, along with the past participle 'had')
    Option D: We use the past participle 'had' after 'haven't' to express the present perfect tense. But the present tense verb 'have' is not used as a main verb in a perfect tense.
    The first 'have' is an auxiliary and the second 'have' is the main verb.
    Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill appropriate form of verb:

    I felt very tired when I got home, so I _______ (go) straight to bed.
    Solution
    The given sentence narrates an event that has already happened 'felt tired...got home' hence the answer will also be in the past tense.
    Option B: 'Went' is a simple past tense verb. It states an action that has already happened. The other verbs 'felt' and 'got' are also simple past tense verbs and so this verb 'went' is appropriate.
    Hence option B is correct.
    Option A: 'Has gone' is in the present perfect tense. It states an action that has just completed or happened. But, the sentence narrates past events.
    Option C: 'Is going' is in present continuous tense, but the sentence is in the past.
    Option D: 'Will go' states a future action whereas the sentence is in the past.
    Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using appropriate option:
    While I was on holiday, my camera ______ (disappear) from my hotel room.
    Solution
    The word 'while' refers to two actions that happened simultaneously. Hence both will be in past tense.
    Option C: 'Disappeared' is a simple past tense verb that states an action that happened in the past 'while I was on holiday'. Hence option C is correct.
    Option A: 'Has disappeared' is in present perfect tense and states an action that just happened. It does not agree with the sentence which is set back in time.
    Option B: 'Had disappeared' states an action that completed in the past, before another past action took place. The sentence does not present actions one after another, but two at the same time.
    Option D: 'Disappears' is a simple present tense and states a daily habit or a present action while it's happening. The sentence though, is in past tense.
    Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Select appropriate option to fill in the blank:
    Why ________ (Sue/resign) from her job? Didn't she enjoy it?
    Solution
    Option C: 'Did Sue resign' is in simple past tense. It relates to the given sentence 'didn't'. ('Didn't' is a contraction of 'did not'.)
    Hence option C is correct.
    Option A: 'Sue resigned' is not in interrogative form. It presents a statement, not a question. In interrogative form, the verb (auxiliary/helping verb 'did') comes before the subject 'Sue'.
    Option B: 'Does Sue resign' is in simple present tense and states a daily habit or routine. But the actions have already happened: 'didn't'.
    Option D: 'Has Sue resigned' is in present perfect tense and states an action just happened in the present.
    The sentence, though, has already happened in the past.
    Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
