  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose appropriate verb forms to fill in the blanks:
    I saw an accident last night. Somebody __________ (call) an ambulance but nobody ___________ (injure) so the ambulance __________ (not/need).
    Solution
    The given sentence narrates an incident that happened in the past "last night".
    Option B: 'Called', 'was injured' and 'wasn't needed' are all in simple past tense. They express actions that happened in the past, hence option B is correct.
    Option A: 'Had called' is in past perfect tense.
    'Injured' is a past tense verb in active voice. The subject 'nobody' experiences the action 'was injured' so the clause 'but nobody...' is in passive voice.
    'Not needed' is incomplete. Without a helping verb like 'was', it does not express any tense nor does it form a complete sentence.
    Option C: 'Had called' expresses the past perfect. It states an action that completed in the past, before another action took place in the past. The given sentence does not present that tense.
    Option D: 'Injured' is an active voice verb.
    Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable form of the verb:
    I ___ (not / like) flying.
    Solution
    Simple present tense is used to indicate habit. Here habit (not like) is indicated. The syntax of simple present tense is: do/does not + verb in the first form  (do is used with plural subjects); (does is used with singular subjects). (I/You are exceptional cases and in spite of being  singular subjects, take the verbs of plural subjects). Therefore the correct option is: don't like
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks using appropriate forms of the verbs:
    Where __________(these photographs/take)? In London? ___________(you/take) them?
    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 action is more important in the first sentence, therefore the passive voice is used. The doer is more important in the second sentence therefore active voice is used. Therefore the correct option is : were these photographs taken ............. did you take
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with an appropriate option:
    George couldn't help me. He _________ to ask Kate.
    Solution
    'Say' means 'to utter something'.
    The given sentence is in past tense, as the word 'couldn't' suggests.
    ('Could' in 'couldn't' is the past form of 'can'.)
    Option B: 'Said' is the past form of 'say'. It's a past tense verb that refers to an action that has already happened. Hence it relates to the sentence and option B is correct.
    Option A: 'Says' is a simple present tense verb and states an action that is happening at the very moment. But, the action has already happened.
    Option C: 'Is saying' is in present continuous tense and states a continuous action happening in the present. It is irrelevant to the past tense sentence here.
    Option D: 'Has said' is in present perfect tense and states an action that just happened.
    But, the sentence states a past action.
    Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence.  
    Why not _______ the meeting for Monday morning?
    Solution
    Option A is the correct answer because ‘ to  schedule’ means to lay a time table of the events that are to take place, so the speaker means to say that they should lay the time table(schedule) and place the meeting in the morning on Monday. 
    Option B is incorrect because ‘why not’ is asked a s a question to suggest that  they should schedule it to Monday morning, as a strong point of suggestion. It would be correct if the statement was “What about scheduling the meeting...” 
    option C is incorrect because a question that involves ‘you’ needs to include a form of ‘be’ like ‘do’ in it, so it would be correct if ‘ why do not you schedule the meeting...”
    Option D is incorrect bacause why not do you schedule the meeting has the words arranged in the wrong order, as the correct order should be “why do not you schedule” as the second person singular form of ‘be’ that is ‘do’ is followed by ‘not’
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence using an appropriate auxiliary verb:
    'Are you and Chris coming to the party?' 'I ______ but Chris ______ .
    Solution
    Option C is the correct answe because ‘am’ is used as the first person singular of ‘be’,( talking about yourself) and ‘is’ is used as the third person singular of ‘be’( talking about someone else)., so it is correct here because the speaker says he is going to the pastry, but Chris is not. 
    Option A and B are both incorrect because ‘was’ is the past tense of is but the statement is made in the present tense. 
    Option D is incorrect because the question is asked in the present, whether they are going to the party in the present, so the answer should be in the present as well. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence with an auxiliary verb:
    'Is Colin here?' 
    'He ______ five minutes ago but I think he's gone home now.'
    Solution
    The given sentence is in past tense, as the words 'five minutes ago' suggests.
    Option B: 'Was' answers the question 'Is' in the positive.
    'Was' is the past form of 'is', and relates to the given sentence.
    Also, 'was' is an elliptical sentence. Such a sentence omits words that have been mentioned before. In the answer, 'here' has been omitted: 'He was here five minutes ago'.
    The auxiliary verb is most appropriate as it is in past tense. Hence option B is correct.
    Option A: 'Is' is in the present tense and does not relate to the words 'five minutes ago'.
    Option C: 'Isn't' is also in the present tense. It is in the negative and does not agree with the contrast 'but he's gone home now'.
    Option D: Similarly, 'wasn't' is also in the negative and does not complete the sentence in meaning, because 'he's gone home now', so it means 'he was here before'.
    Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence with an auxiliary verb:
    I wasn't tired but my friends _________.
    Solution
    The verb 'was' refers to past tense. The given sentence states two actions that are parallel in meaning.
    I wasn't tired but my friends were tired. 'But' presents a contrast between these two actions 'I wasn't tired' but 'my friends were tired'.
    (Also, 'but my friends ...' is an elliptical sentence, because the verb 'tired' is missing. A word can be omitted or implied if it has been mentioned before. The word 'tired' has been mentioned before and is hence omitted.)
    Option B: 'Were' s the plural form of 'was'. The subject and verb must agree with one another in number. So when the subject 'I' is singular, the verb is singular 'was' and when the subject 'friends' is plural, the verb 'were' is also plural. This verb forms a complete meaningful sentence and hence option B is correct.
    Option A: 'Do' refers to an action. But the verb 'tired' is a state of being, not an action. Also, it is not consistent with the former part of the sentence 'was tired'.
    Option C: 'Could' refers to possibility.
    Option D: 'Should' refers to suggestion or obligation.
    The sentence does not express any of these moods (possibility or obligation).
    Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Select suitable form of the verb to complete the sentence:
    The government always _______ to increase taxes.
    Solution
    Option A is the correct answer bacause ‘to want’ mea Sri wishes for a particular thing or a plan for action, and the government always wishes to increase the taxes so it is correct, as it doesn’t specify a particular tense because it is generic. 
    Option B is incorrect because ‘wanted’ means past tense but the government still wants to increase the taxes. 
    Option C is incorrect because ‘is wanting’ means the government only wishes for tax increment in the present,which is incorrect because that statement doesn’t specify a period of time. 
    Option D is incorrect because ‘has wnated’ Is the past tense while the statement is in the present tense.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct form of future tense of the verb given in the bracket.

    If you study hard you _______ (get) a first class.
    Solution

    A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical centre of the predicate in a sentence. Option A)will get is correct as the simple future tense is used to indicate an action  in the future. The other options are wrong as no other tense can be used here. The correct answer is A)will get.
