Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose appropriate option to fill in the blank:
I was born in London but I ___________ (grow) up in the north of England.

A
have grew

B
grew

C
am growing

D
had grown

Solution

Option B: 'Grew' is a past tense verb and states an action that took place in the past. It is relevant to the given sentence that describes the past. Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'Have' in 'have grew' expresses the present perfect tense. But 'have' and 'grew' do not function together. The syntax is: have + past participle 'grown', whereas 'grew' is a simple past tense verb (that is, it states a simple past tense action without the use of any helping verbs).
Option C: 'Am growing' is in present continuous tense and states a continuous action in the present. But, the given sentence is set back in time.
Option D: 'Had grown' is in past perfect tense. It states an action that completed in the past, before another action took place. It does not relate to the situation presented in the given sentence.
Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable form of verb:
Water _____ (cover) most of the Earth's surface.

A
covers

B
has covered

C
is covering

D
had covered

Solution

Option A is the correct answer because ‘cobers’ Means that the water hides/ shelters most of the earths surface, which is true considering that it is a generic statement that has been true in the past, is true in the present and in the future. Hence, it is correct to say ‘covers’.
Option B is incorrect because that means water has only covered the surface in the past and doesn’t cover anymore.
Option C is incorrect because ‘is covering’ means that the water is covering the statement now, in the present only, and might not cover it later.
Option D is incorrect because same explanation as option B.
Question 3
1 / -0

Choose suitable option to fill in the blank:
When you wrote the exam, ___________ time to answer all the questions?

A
do you have

B
did you have

C
have you had

D
had you had

Solution

The given sentence is in past tense, as the clause "when you wrote" suggests.
Option B: 'Did you have' is in simple past tense and asks if the person 'had time'.
(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: 'Have you had' is in the present perfect tense and states an action that just happened in the present. But the action has already happened in the past.
Option D: 'Had you had' is in past perfect tense. It states an action that completed in the past, before another action happened.
But here the actions don't happen one after the other. The first action 'when you wrote' states a past time and the second sentence asks about that past time.
Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
Question 4
1 / -0

(Five Years ago) Carol: I don't like cheese.
(Now) Carol: I eat lots of cheese now.

Compare what Carol said five years ago and what she says today:
Now write sentences about how Carol has changed.
Use used to / didn't use to / never used to in the first part of your sentence and appropriate form of verb in the second part of the sentence:
.............................. but ..........................

A
She used to like cheese but she has eaten lots of cheese now.

B
She didn't like cheese but she eats so much of cheese now.

C
She never used to like cheese but she eats lots of cheese now.

D
She use to like cheese but she is eating lots of cheese now.

Solution

Option B is the correct answer because ‘she did not like cheese in the past as per her statement’, but she eats a lot of cheese now, hence it is correct.
Option A is incorrect because Carol says she did not like cheese in the past, while option means that she used to like cheese.
Option C is incorrect because Five years ago Carol said she did not like cheese, that does not mean she “never” liked cheese, hence it is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because same explanation as option A.
Question 5
1 / -0

Choose a suitable option to fill in the blank:
'It started to rain while I was walking home.'
'Did it? ______________ an umbrella?'

A
Have you had

B
Did you have

C
Will you have

D
Were you having

Solution

The given sentence is in past tense, as the clauses "it started to rain" and "while I was walking home" suggests.
Option B: 'Did you have' is in simple past tense and asks if the person 'had an umbrella'.
(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: 'Have you had' is in present perfect tense and states an action just completed. But, the action has happened in the past.
Option C: 'Will you have' is in future tense whereas the sentence asks about a past action.
Option D: '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.
Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
Question 6
1 / -0

(Five Years ago) Carol: I'm very lazy.
(Now) Carol: I work hard these days.

Compare what Carol said five years ago and what she says today:
Now write a sentence about how Carol has changed.
Use used to / didn't use to / never used to in the first part of your sentence and appropriate form of verb ('work hard') in the second part of the sentence:
___________ but __________

A
She didn't use to be very lazy but she is working very hard these days.

B
She never used to be very lazy but she is working very hard these days.

C
She used to be very lazy but she works very hard these days.

D
She use to be very lazy but she has worked very hard these days.

Solution

Option C is the correct answer because ‘used to’ is used when something that used to occur in the past is being spoken about, here, her laziness.
The second part of the statement is ‘she works very hard these days’ and that is correct because ‘works’ is used to define something that is being carried out in the present, hence works very hard these days is correct.
Option A is incorrect because ‘did not use to be lazy’means That she was not lazy in the past which is incorrect.
Option B is incorrect because ‘she never used to be lazy’ is incoreectvas Carol’s first statement says she used to be lazy.
Option D is incorrect because ‘worked’ very hard these days is incorrect , as worked is the past tense, while statement is about present tense.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose verb in the correct form, present simple or past simple, active or passive:
Ron's parents ___________ (die) when he was very young. He and his sister __________ (bring) up by their grandparents.

A
were died ............. brought

B
died ........... brought

C
died ............ were brought

D
were died ........... were brought

Solution

Simple past tense is used to indicate the action / event which happened in the past . Here the same is indicated. The syntax for simple past tense in active voice is: verb in the second form. The syntax for simple past tense in passive voice is: was / were +verb in the third form. Active voice is used when the doer is more important than the action. Passive voice is used when the action is more important than the doer. The doer is more important in the first sentence, therefore active voice is used. The action is more important in the second sentence, therefore the passive voice is used. Therefore the correct option is : died ............. were brought
Question 8
1 / -0

Choose a suitable option to fill in the blank:
I need a stamp for this letter.
__________ one?

A
Did you have

B
Do you have

C
Have you had

D
Had you had

Solution

Option B is the correct answe because ‘Do’ is used to ask a question pertaining to something that’s needed, and ‘do’ is used in the present tense, hence it is correct.
Option A is incorrect because ‘Did you have’ means the question is in the past tense, but the statement states that he needs it in the present, hence it is incorrect.
Option C is incorrect because ‘have you had’, have is used as a continuation of the past tense( note ‘had’), which means that the question is in the past tense, but the statement states that he needs it in the present, hence it is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect bacause ‘had you had’ had the same explanation as option C.
Question 9
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with an auxiliary verb:
I like hot weather but Ann _____.

A
don't

B
doesn't

C
shouldn't

D
haven't

Solution

Option B is the correct answe because ‘does’ is used as a singular third person form of ‘do’, hence it is correct here to say that Ann does not like it.
Option C is incorrect because ‘should not’ means she is ‘obliged not to’ which is incorrect as liking the weather or not is her choice.
Option A is incorrect because ‘do not’ is the first person singular form of ‘do’ that means it is used when talking about yourself, so it would be correct if the statement was, ‘ I do not like the weather’.
Option D is incorrect because ‘have’ means to possess and so doesn’t relate to this statement.
Question 10
1 / -0

Select suitable option:
The police ___________ to interview two men about the robbery last week.

A
wants

B
want

C
is wanting

D
was wanting

Solution

There is a common confusion whether 'police' is singular or plural. It really depends on the context of the sentence. When 'police' is a common noun, it's considered to be plural, since 'police' refers to the cops. When it is used as a proper noun, such as 'The London Police', it is a specific team. So, it's considered as a collective noun, and is hence, singular. Also, when it is specified that it is only one 'police officer', then it is singular.
In the given sentence, 'police' is used as a common noun, hence it is plural.
The verb must agree with the subject in terms of person and number. If the subject is singular, so is the verb. The same goes for a plural subject.
Option B: 'Want' is a plural verb. It agrees with the plural subject 'police'. Hence B is the correct option.
Option A: 'Wants' is a singular verb and does not agree with the subject here. Hence A is incorrect.
Options C and D: 'Is wanting' is grammatically incorrect.
'Wanting' is not used as a verb, it's used as an adjective (present participle that modifies nouns) or a gerund. Hence, it cannot form a verb phrase.
'Wanting' does not form the required tense. Hence these options are incorrect.
