Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the correct alternative of the verb given in brackets.
Don't bring her unless she _____ (promise) to behave herself.

A
promised

B
will promise

C
promises

D
has promised

Solution

Verbs are used in the present tense to express actions in the present. Sometimes, they are also used to express habits or repeated actions or general truths or fixed arrangements. In this case, the present tense is to be used as "she promises to behave herself" means there is an agreement to behave herself. As the subject is a singular noun in the third person, the letter, 's' is added to the end of the verb to get its simple present tense. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
Option A is in simple past tense. Option B is in simple future tense. Option D is in the present perfect tense. Hence, these options are incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

CHOOSE THE BEST WORD OR PHRASE TO COMPLETE THE SENTENCE.

Neither of the two traffic lights _________ working.

A
is

B

Question 3
1 / -0

In the following sentence, fill in the blank with a verb in agreement with its subject.
No news _____ good news.

A
Is

B
Am

C
Are

D
Be

Solution

The word 'news' is singular in nature in spite of the 's' at the end of the word. Option D) be is incomplete without words like 'can' and so is the incorrect option.
Option C) are is incorrect because 'are' is used for plural subjects and news, as mentioned above, is singular. Option B) am is also incorrect because 'am' is used for people and mostly with the first person pronoun 'I' and it is not used for things like news, which is in the third person in the given statement. So, the most appropriate answer is option A) is, as it agrees with our singular subject 'news'.
Question 4

A
Are

B

1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the correct verb to complete the sentence:

The Arabian Nights ______ an exciting book. [Intermediate]

A
are

B
is

C
has

D
have

Solution

The subject of this sentence is 'the Arabian Nights' which is the name of a book; it is a singular subject and so the verb will also be singular i.e 'is'.
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the correct word(s) that correctly completes the sentence.
Where ______ your spectacles? [Advanced]

A
is

B
are

have

Solution

A plural form of subject always takes a plural verb and a singular form of subject always takes a singular verb.
In the given sentence spectacles would require a plural verb.
Therefore, option B is correct as it contains plural verb.
Whereas option A contains singular verb; option C and D contain present perfect verb which is followed by a past participle. Hence these three options are incorrect.

There are some words that end with -s. They look plural, but take a singular verb, for example athletics, economics, physics, measles, news and etc.
Option A is correct because it contains singular verb.
Whereas, option B contains plural verb which is incorrect and option C and D contain the present perfect verb which is generally followed by past participle verb. Therefore option C and D are also correct.

A
is

Solution

Verbs must agree with their subjects in number and person.
There are some words that end with -s. They look plural, but take a singular verb, for example athletics, economics, physics, measles,Mathematics, news and etc.
Option A is correct because it contains singular verb.
Whereas, option B contains plural verb which is incorrect and option C and D contain the present perfect verb which is generally followed by past participle verb. Therefore option C and D are also correct.
Question 10
1 / -0

Complete the following dialogue by choosing the correct form of the verb in the present tense:
Kamal: The jacket ______ too long.

A
is seeming

B
seem

C
seems

D
have seemed

Solution

When a subject is singular, the adjoining verb should be singular and when the subject is plural, the verb should also be plural. This agreement between the subject and the verb is called the subject-verb agreement. In the given sentence, "The jacket" is the subject, it's singular, hence a singular verb should be used. The verbs that end with an s are singular, whereas plural verbs do not end with s. For example, 'The jackets do not seem very long', here 'the jackets' is plural and 'seem' is a plural verb, it does not end with an s. "The jacket" is singular, hence 'seems' is the correct answer, 'seems' is a singular verb, hence option C is correct, B is incorrect. 'Is seeming' is incorrect because 'seeming' is either a gerund or a participle in the present tense, it's a verb-form and not a verb, hence option A is incorrect. 'Have seemed' is in the past tense, it's a plural verb, 'have' is used when the subject is plural, but here "the jacket" is singular, hence it won't be used and option D is incorrect.
