Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the correct verb from the options given below:
Some members of the professors union _________ to go on strike.

A
want

B
wants

C
has wanted

D
wont

Solution

In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject-verb agreement. The rule states that only verbs with a third-person singular noun or pronoun (he, she, boat, courage) as a subject ever have an added "s" on the end. With plural nouns (but also the singular pronouns I and you) there is never an added "s" at the end of a verb.
This particular sentence is in the third person and is also in the plural form.
"want" is the correct answer
"wants" is wrong as "s" is not added for sentences in the third person and having a plural form.
"has wanted" is wrong as the sentence is in the past tense.
"wont" is a wrong word as the actual word should be "won't" or "would not".
Option A is correct.

Ten minutes ____ allowed to each speaker.

"Is" is a singular verb. It is the correct answer.
"were" and "are" are plural verbs. They are the wrong answers.
