Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
I'm sure I ___ him at the party last night.

A

B
have seen

C
has seen

D

Solution

A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical centre of the predicate in a sentence. Option A)saw is correct as simple past tense is used to indicate an action that completed in the past ("last night").
Options B and C are incorrect because they are in the present perfect tense and not in the simple past tense as has been already mentioned. Option D is incorrect because the correct answer has already been chosen.

1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verb to complete the following sentence:

Thus he ______(make) others work.

A
makes

B
is making

C
had made

D
had been working

Solution

Option A is the correct answer because according to the statement, his influence makes the others to work, hence it is correct to say that he makes others work as it is in the simple present tense.
Option B is incorrect because ‘is making’ means that he is making them work only in the present, and not on a regular basis.
Option C and D are incorrect because they are in past tense while the statement is in the present tense.

A
follow

B
were following

C
had followed

D
followed

Solution

Option D is the correct answer because the statement is the simple past tense which is clear from the part that “they had collected” because they followed his example, hence it is the correct answer.
Option A is incorrect because it doesn’t include a verb.
Option B is incorrect because “were following” means that they were following the example only for that particular stipulated time which is incorrect.
Option C is incorrect because “has followed” means that it would not be a simple past tense, it would mean that they had followed his example only in the past.
Question 8
1 / -0

He ___ out five minutes ago.

A
has gone

B
had gone

C
went

D
none of these

Solution

Option C is correct: He went out five minutes ago.
Simple Past Tense is used with words denoting time taken to finish an action such as five minutes ago.
Question 9
1 / -0

Identify the tense used in the following sentence:
They are working on the project together.

A
Simple Present

B
Present Continuous

C
Simple Past

D
Past Continuous

Solution

The present continuous form of the verb "work" is "are working", this form is used in the sentence, so we know that the sentence is in present continuous tense. "Are working" means that the action is going on while the speaker is stating the action. Hence option B is correct. Option A is incorrect, because the sentence is not in simple present. The simple present form of the verb "work" remains the same, so the sentence in simple present would start like this "They work...". Option C is incorrect, the simple past form of 'work' is 'worked', and the sentence does not contain this form. Option D is incorrect, the past continuous form of 'work' is ' were working', whereas the sentence contains the present continuous form 'are working'.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
We ____ our breakfast half an hour ago.

A
finished

B
have finished

C
had finished

D
none of these

Solution

A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical centre of the predicate in a sentence. Option A)finished is correct as simple past tense is used to indicate an action completed in the past. The other options are wrong as ' an hour ago' indicates the use of simple past tense. The correct answer is A)finished.
