  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of the verb to complete the sentence:
    Do you still ______ to the football club?
    Solution
    In order to select the correct form of the verb to complete the sentence, let's understand the subject-verb agreement. Subject and verb should agree with each other, i.e., if the subject is singular, the verb should also be in its singular form; and if the subject is plural, the verb should also be in its plural form. 
    NOTE: 'You' is considered to be a plural pronoun. 
    Option A - The word 'do' in the question explains to us that the question is framed in present tense. As explained above, the given subject in the question 'you' is a plural subject, hence we need a verb in its plural form (without 's/es'). 'Belongs' is a singular subject, hence, we can't use it here. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Belonging' is a verb in its participle form. However, the word 'still' explains that the question is in simple present tense, hence, we can't use 'belonging' here. Thus option B is incorrect.
    Option D - As the question is in framed in simple present tense, we can't use a verb in past tense. 'Belonged' is the past form of the verb 'belong'. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option C - As you is a plural subject, we need a verb that is in its plural form. A plural verb in present doesn't have 's/es'. Hence, we can use 'belong' here. 'Do you still belong to the football club?' is a correct formation. Thus option C is the correct answer.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of the verb given in the options:
    The boys in the room _______ revising for their test. [Basic]
    Solution
    In the given sentence, "The boys" is the subject.
    'Boys' is a plural noun, and is in the third person point of view.
    The verb that follows the subject must agree with it in terms of the person and number.
    Option B: 'Are' is a plural verb that refers to a noun/pronoun in the third person. It agrees to the plural, third person noun 'boys'.
    Hence B is correct.
    Option A: 'Is' is a singular verb, it refers to a singular noun.
    Option C: 'Am' refers to a singular, first person pronoun.
    Option D: 'Was' refers to a singular noun.
    They do not agree with the subject. Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Select the correct option that completes the sentence.
    If you oppose the accepted way of thinking, you __________.
    Solution
    In order to fill in the blank with the correct verb, let's understand the meanings of each option given.
    NOTE: The main clause is the definition of the verb in the second clause/subordinate clause. Looking at the definition, we understand that the verb is a word that is about thinking differently.
    Option A - 'Concur' means to have the same opinion, whereas the given sentence defines the verb as to have a different opinion than the others. Hence, option A is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Consent' means to allow to do something/permission or agreement to do something. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Confirm' means to establish the truth or correctness of something. Hence, option C is incorrect.

    'If you oppose the accepted way of thinking, you dissent.'
  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    If you give up certain demands to reach an agreement, you _______.
    Solution
    In order to fill in the blank with the correct verb, let's understand the meanings of each option given.
    NOTE: The main clause is the definition of the verb in the second clause/subordinate clause. Looking at the definition, we understand that the verb is a word that is about giving up on certain demands.
    Option A - 'Regret' means to feel sad or disappointed about something that has been done. Hence, option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Repent' means to feel sorry for someone's sin or to regret. Hence, option C is incorrect.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of the verb to complete the sentence:
    He often _______ for a ride on the weekend.
    Solution
    In order to select the correct form of the verb to complete the sentence, let's understand the subject-verb agreement. Subject and verb should agree with each other, i.e., if the subject is singular, the verb should also be in its singular form; and if the subject is plural, the verb should also be in its plural form. 
    Option A - The word 'often' in this sentence explains to us that it's a general statement. We use simple present tense to describe a person's routine or habit. Hence, we can't use 'going' as the verb is in the participle form. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'To' is used as an infinitive, adverb and preposition. 'To' is accompanied by a verb to make an infinitive verb. Here, we need a main verb and not an infinitive marker. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - The word 'often' in this sentence explains to us that it's a general statement. We use simple present tense to describe a person's routine or habit. 'Go' is used to express an action in simple present tense. However, the subject singular and hence we need a verb in its singular form as well. In present tense, the verb in singular form has 's/es' to match the singular subject; and the verb in the plural form does not have 's/es' to match the plural subject. Hence, 'go' is an incorrect word to use here. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option B - As explained above, we need the verb in its singular form and in present tense. Hence, 'goes' can be used here- 'He often goes for a ride on the weekend.' Thus option B is the correct answer.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Select the verb among the given options.
    Solution
    In order to select the verb from the given options, let's understand each words' meaning. 
    Option A - 'Nameless' means a person or a thing that has no name or has a name that is not known. It is an adjective and not a verb. Hence, option A is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Nominally' means the way a person or a thing is according to someone's supposition. It is an adverb and not a verb. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Nominal' means someone or something in name or thought only, or someone or something that exists in name only. It is an adjective and not a verb. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Nominate' means to suggest something or someone to be selected. 'Nominate' is an action, hence it is a verb. Thus option C is the correct answer.
    NOMINATE is the verb among the given options.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Identify the correct form of the verb to replace the underlined part of the sentence:
    Nowadays, internet is playing an important role in education. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    In order to replace the underlined part of the sentence with the correct form of the verb, we must understand the tense of sentence.
    The given sentence is a general statement as it explains us about a rule. The word 'nowadays' explains that the sentence is in present tense. Hence, we will replace the underlined sentence with simple present tense of the verb.
    Option A - 'Has played' is used to describe a completed action in the present, which is called 'present perfect tense.' As the sentence states a general fact, we must use the simple present tense. Hence, option A is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Play' is plural form of the verb which can be used with a plural subject in present tense. As the given subject in the sentence is a singular subject, we can't use a plural verb. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Has been playing' is present perfect continuous tense. 'Has been' explain us the action started in the past and the participle form of the verb (playing) explains us that the action is continuing. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Plays' is the third person form of the verb 'play', which agrees with the third person subject 'internet'. It is in simple present tense. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
    'Nowadays, internet plays an important role in education.'
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a verb that agrees with the subject and not with the complement:
    Shilpa or her brothers ________ to win the prize. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    In order to fill in the blank with the most appropriate helping verb, we must understand the 'subject and verb agreement'. A subject is a person, thing, or a concept, in a sentence. A sentence always describes of explains us about a person, thing or a concept and that is called 'subject' of the sentence. The rest of the sentence is a complement (which has the object in it). A subject and a verb should always agree in a sentence. If the subject is singular (example: Raj), the verb will also be singular (does). If the subject is plural (We), the verb will also be plural (do).
    As the given sentence asks us to fill in the blank with a verb that agrees with the subject and not with the complement, we will focus on the subject only.
    NOTE: When 'or' is used in a sentence, the subject becomes singular. But, if the second subject is plural, the verb will also be plural. In the given sentence, the second subject 'brothers' is a plural subject, hence the verb will be plural as well.
    Option A - 'is' is a singular subject. As we need a plural verb, we can't use 'is going' here. Hence, option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Will be going' is used to represent an action of going somewhere in future continuous tense. Here, the action is not 'going' it is 'win'. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Are' is a plural verb and can be used with a main verb. As 'are' is a helping verb, it can't be used with an infinitive with 'to'. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Are going' is a plural helping verb with a main verb in participle form. As the subject is plural, we can use a plural verb. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
    'Shilpa or her brothers are going to win the prize.'
