Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Identify the tense used in the following sentence:
They had listened to him speak.

A
Simple Past

B
Past Perfect

C
Past Perfect Continuous

D
Present Perfect

Solution

Option B is the correct answer because in the sentence we find the structure of the past perfect tense, i.e., had+ past participle of the verb (listened).
Option A is incorrect because of the presence of 'had', which is used in the past perfect forms.
Option C is incorrect because for the sentence to be in the past perfect continuous tense, the verb has to be in the -ing form.
Option D is incorrect simply because the sentence is not in the present tense in any way.
Question 2
1 / -0

Identify the tense used in the following sentence:
He cried.

A
Simple Present

B
Simple Past

C
Simple Future

D
Past Perfect

Solution

The verb in the given sentence is "cried".
Option B: 'Cried' is the Simple Past Tense form of the verb 'to cry'.
It states an action that happened in the past. Hence option B is correct.
Option A: The simple present form of the verb 'to cry' is 'cries', as opposed to the given verb.
Option C: The simple future tense refers to an action that is yet to happen, i.e., 'will cry'. But, it isn't the same as the given verb.
Option D: The verb form used for past perfect tense is: had + base verb, which is 'had cried'. However, this isn't the form in the sentence.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Identify the tense used in the following sentence:
They have been reading the newspaper.

A
Simple Present

B
Present Perfect

C
Present Continuous

D
Present Perfect Continuous

Solution

Option D: The verb form 'have been reading' expresses the present perfect continuous tense, as it refers to an action that began in the past and is still continuing during the present. Also, it follows the verb structure of the Present Perfect continuous tense:
have been + present participle (reading)
Hence option D is correct.
Option A: Simple present tense refers to a daily habit, or a universal truth. It is of the form: base verb (walk, talk, plays, etc.). The action here is not a habit.
Option B: Present perfect tense indicates an action that began in the past and has just completed. But the action here has not completed.
Option C: Present continuous tense indicates an action continuing in the present, but does not indicate that it began in the past.
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the correct word or phrase that completes the sentence correctly.
I first ____ Mr. Mohan in 1981.

A
am meeting

B
had met

C
met

D
meet

Solution

Option C, 'met' is the correct answer because the year 1981 is already mentioned in the sentence thus showing that it is about something that has already happened. The simple past tense also emphasizes that the action is finished.
Option A is incorrect because it is in the present continuous tense, option B is incorrect because 'had met' is in the past perfect tense which is used to show that something happened before another action in the past and option D is incorrect because 'meet' is the simple present tense form of the verb.
Question 5
1 / -0

Choose the correct word or phrase that completes the sentence correctly.
He cannot meet the classes today because he ____.

A
is ill

B
have illness

C
had been sick

D
will be ill

Solution

Since the sentence is in the simple present tense, option A, 'is ill' is the correct answer. Also, the adjective 'ill' correctly modifies the pronoun 'he'.
Option B is grammatically incorrect because in the phrase 'he have illness', the pronoun 'he' should be followed by the verb 'has'.
Options C and D are incorrect because they are not in the simple present tense form.
Question 6
1 / -0

Identify the tense used in the following sentence:
You had been telling me about the car accident.

A
Past Perfect

B
Past Perfect Continuous

C
Present Perfect

D
Present Perfect Continuous

Solution

Had been + ing form of the verb is the structure of a sentence in the past perfect continuous tense. As the sentence adheres to this structure, option B is the correct answer.
The structure of past perfect tense is had+ past participle of the verb. As the sentence is not in accordance with this structure option A is incorrect.
Options C and D are definitely incorrect because they are in the present tense form in any way.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the correct form of the verb to fill in the following blank:
Ramayana, an ancient Indian epic poem, _________ by Valmiki.

A
are written

B
was written

C
will be written

D
was been written

Solution

Option B: Ramayana is an ancient epic, which was written a very long time ago. The tense of the given sentence will be in the past, since the action 'to write' was done in the past.
'Was written' is in simple past tense (passive voice). It indicates an action that completed in the past, just like the action in the given sentence.
Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'Are written' is in the simple present tense. It indicates that an action is taking place at the moment. However, this isn't true for the sentence. Hence A is incorrect.
Option C: 'Will be written' means that Ramayana is going to be written, in the future, by Valmiki. This is factually incorrect as it's already been written in the past. Hence option C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Was been written' is grammatically incorrect. It's either 'was written' or 'was being written', 'been' is not used with 'was'.
Question 8
1 / -0

Which of the options given below may suitably replace the phrase printed in bold to make it grammatically correct? If the sentence requires no correction, mark (d) as the answer.

When ice and water existed together on the same volume, the temperature remains constant.

A
exist together in

B
will exist together on

C
had existed together in

D
No correction required

Solution

Option A is the correct answer because according to the statement about ice abswater, such a fact is stated in the present tense in general, hence it is correct to say that when they ‘exist together in’ the same volume, as the substances can occur “in” a particular state of matter, and not “on”.
Option B is incorrect because the statement is meant to be in the present, while the option is in the future tense.
Option C Ian incorrect because it is past tense while statement is a fact and so should be in present.
Question 9
1 / -0

Identify the tense used in the following sentence:

I will represent him in court.

A
Simple Present

B
Simple Future

C
Simple Past

D
Future Continuous

Solution

Choice B is correct as the word 'will' in the sentence denotes the future tense. Choice A is incorrect as simple present means 'what is happening at thatpoint of time.' Choice C is incorrect as it means 'what has happened in the past' and Choice D is incorrect as it means the verb 'represent' will be written as 'be representing'. The correct answer is B.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with a suitable choice of verbs:
_______ your parents _______ in Delhi?

A
Did / lived

B
Do / lived

C
Did / live

D
Were / lived

Solution

The simple past tense is used to indicate or describe something that happened or existed in the past. It can be used to refer or describe an action that has been completed and there is no time mentioned. However, in interrogative sentences, the only difference between a question in the present tense and a question in the past tense is the change in the auxiliary verb. So, the base form of the verb remains the same and the auxiliary becomes the past "did". Hence, C is correct.
A, B and C are incorrect as the main verb in a question remains the same. Hence, the use of "lived"renders them incorrect.
