  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Read the sentence to find out possible substitution for for the underlined part:
    I am not sure why she is wanting to see him.
    Solution
    Option A is the correct answer because "wants" is the third person present of "want" which means to have a desire to want or do something.
    Option B is incorrect because "is she wanting" is always supposed to be followed by a "to", as in. why is she wanting to see him".
    Option C is incorrect because "she want" is incorrect as it is not a verb.
     
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate answer from the options given below: 
    The police ___________ me on my way home yesterday.
    Solution

    The tense of a sentence denotes a time, whether it is the time now (present), time then (past) or the time to come (future). The verb of a sentence has most to do with the tense. In the given sentence, we need to fill in a word that determines the correct tense. The action took place in the past "yesterday", hence a verb in the past tense is required. 'Stopped' is in the simple past tense, referring to an action that was completed in the past "yesterday", hence option D is correct. 'Was stop' is grammatically incorrect, 'was' is in the past continuous tense 'was stopping' whereas 'stop' is in the present tense, 'I often stop her from taking hasty decisions as she's impulsive' hence option A is incorrect. 'Stopping' is in the present continuous tense, whereas the action took place in the past, yesterday, hence option B is incorrect. 'Stops' is in the present tense, used in the third person point of view, 'she always stops me from taking the wrong decision', whereas the sentence is in the past tense, hence option C is incorrect.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Which of the following sentence(s) is not in the simple present tense:
    Solution
    The tense of a sentence denotes a time, whether it is the time now (present), time then (past) or the time to come (future). The verb of a sentence has most to do with the tense. The simple present tense describes an action that takes place on a daily basis, like a routine or habit, it also refers to a general truth, like 'ice is cold'. In options A and B, a habit and custom are mentioned, respectively, "catch the bus", "rains every afternoon", hence they are in the simple present tense. Since we have to choose an option that is not in this tense form, options A and B are incorrect. A simple present tense can also refer to a future event that is a fixed date, like in option D, "starts on the 27th", it's in the simple present tense, hence option D is also incorrect. Option C is in the simple past tense, describing an action that completed in the past "watched television". Since it isn't in the simple present tense, option C is correct.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Identify the function(s) of the simple future tense?
    Solution
    The tense of a sentence denotes a time, whether it is the time now (present), time then (past) or the time to come (future). The verb of a sentence has most to do with the tense. The simple future tense refers to an action that is yet to happen in the future, like a spontaneous decision, example, 'I will go tomorrow itself to solve this issue', hence option C is correct. The simple present tense expresses a general truth, in other words, a fact, example, 'Sugar is sweet', hence option A is incorrect. An ongoing activity is the function of the present continuous tense, example, 'I am driving to school right now', it does not refer to the simple future tense, hence option B is incorrect. The present perfect tense refers to an action that has been completed in the past 'I have finished my work', hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Identify the sentence(s) that is not in the simple future tense from the given options:
    Solution
    The tense of a sentence denotes a time, whether it is the time now (present), time then (past) or the time to come (future). The verb of a sentence has most to do with the tense. The simple future tense refers to an action that is yet to take place, in the future. The verb in the future tense is often preceded by 'will', or in some cases 'shall'. In option A, 'shall' refers to a future action that will take place, ('shall' is used in the first person point of view 'I'), hence option A is in the simple future tense. Similarly, options B and C are in the simple future tense, in B it's mentioned "you will do", and in C, "He will carry", 'will' is used to refer to the future, hence these are all in the future tense. In option D, "should have studied" is in the past perfect tense, referring to an action that was ought to be done in the past. It is not in the simple future tense, and we need to choose the option not in this tense, hence option D is correct and options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Identify the function(s) of the simple future tense?
    Solution
    The tense of a sentence denotes a time, whether it is the time now (present), time then (past) or the time to come (future). The verb of a sentence has most to do with the tense. The simple future tense refers to an action that is about to take place, or will take place in the time to come, it predicts a future event, for example, 'I will go to school tomorrow', hence option A is correct. Option C is the function of the simple present tense, it refers to a general truth or a habit or routine, for example, 'I go to school everyday', hence option B is incorrect. Option C is the function of the present continuous tense, it refers to an action that is going on at the moment, 'I am going to school', hence option C is incorrect. Option D is the function of the present perfect tense, it refers to an action that began in the past and completed close to the present time, 'I have reached school', hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    When is the simple present tense used?
    Solution
    The tense of a sentence denotes a time, whether it is the time now (present), time then (past) or the time to come (future). The verb of a sentence has most to do with the tense. A sentence in the Simple Present Tense describes a general truth, or an action that takes place regularly, like a habit or routine, I travel by bus to school, where 'travel' is in the simple present tense. It's mentioned in option A that it refers to a habit, hence option A is correct. Option B describes the present continuous tense, which can describe a changing situation, or an ever-changing situation, like in 'global warming is increasing by the minute'. Similarly, the present continuous tense describes temporary plans, as in 'I am working on my phone till my laptop gets repaired'. It does not refer to a routine, or a general truth. These situations are in the continuous form, and not the simple present tense, hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

    I __________ a lot of money yesterday. I __________ an expensive watch. 

    Solution
    The tense of a sentence denotes a time, whether it is the time now (present), time then (past) or the time to come (future). The verb of a sentence has most to do with the tense. In the given sentence, we need to fill in a word that determines the correct tense. The given sentence is in the past, we know that as it's mentioned "yesterday", and the second sentence is in relation to the first hence both are in the same tense. 'Spent/bought' are both in the simple past tense, which refers to the action(s) that were completed in the past. The speaker completed the action of spending money and buying a watch in the past itself, hence option B is correct. 'Spend/buy' are both in the present tense, whereas the sentence took place in the past, hence option A is incorrect. In option C, 'spent' is correct, but 'buy' is incorrect, as it's in the present tense, hence option C is incorrect. In option D, 'bought' is correct, but 'was spent' isn't, it's in the passive voice, whereas the given sentences are in the active voice. 'Was spent' in the passive form goes like this 'A lot of money was spent yesterday', not being the case here, hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that is NOT in the simple present tense:
    Solution
    The tense of a sentence denotes a time, whether it is the time now (present), time then (past) or the time to come (future). The verb of a sentence has most to do with the tense. The simple present tense describes an action that takes place on a daily basis, like a habit or custom. It also refers to a general truth, a fact, as is seen in options A, B and C, which are all facts. We have to choose an option that is not in the simple present tense, whereas these are, hence options A, B and C are incorrect. Option D is in the simple past tense, 'drank' is the past participle of the verb 'drink', hence option D is correct.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate answer from the options given below: 
    The new Iron Man movie wasn't very good. I _____________ it very much.
    Solution

    The tense of a sentence denotes a time, whether it is the time now (present), time then (past) or the time to come (future). The verb of a sentence has most to do with the tense. In the given sentence, we need to fill in a word that determines the correct tense. When a sentence is in the negative, the main verb itself doesn't change its form, but a negative word 'not' precedes the main verb and follows the first helping verb, the verb now consists of two or more words, where the other verb/s are called the helping verb/s, did not go, did not see, has not written, etc. The given sentences are in the negative, the movie wasn't good, hence the speaker did not enjoy it. The speaker refers to an action that completed in the past, hence a verb in the simple past tense is required. 'Did not enjoy', contracted as 'didn't enjoy' is in the past tense, 'did' is the helping verb that refers to a time in the past, hence option B is correct. 'Enjoyed' is also in the simple past tense, but it's in the affirmative, whereas the sentence is in the negative, hence option A is incorrect. 'Didn't enjoyed' is grammatically incorrect, 'did' is already performing the function of a helping verb by referring to the past tense, hence option C is incorrect. 'Wasn't enjoy' is also grammatically incorrect, 'wasn't' is used in the past continuous tense 'wasn't enjoying', whereas the sentence is in the simple past tense, hence option D is incorrect.
