Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb given in the bracket.

    Have you ever ______ such a beautiful scene? (see)
    Solution
    'Seen' is the past participle of verb 'see' and the appropriate choice in the given sentence. 'Seen' is used as an expression of approval or agreement or when seeking confirmation of an utterance. 

    Other options mentioned are incorrect forms of verb, 'have' is already mentioned in the sentence, whereas present continuous and simple past forms  cannot be used in the given sentence. Therefore options B, C and D are incorrect.

    Option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using the correct form of the verb in the bracket:
    Seema's marriage outfit _______ (design) by the famous designer Ritu Beri.
    Solution
    Option A) design is wrong as there are no words preceding or succeeding the it that indicate the tense. Option D) is designing is grammatically incorrect in the given sentence. Option B) would have been designed is not correct as it is not past perfect continuous tense sentence.  So, the correct answer is C) was designed.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence with the correct forms of the verbs given in the brackets:
    After school, we _____ and ______ our parents about our English teacher. (go, tell)
    Solution
    Option A) went, will tell is incorrect because one word is in the past tense and the other in the future tense. Option B) going, have been told is grammatically incorrect as 'we going' is wrong.
    Option D) go, tell is also grammatically incorrect because 'we go' is wrong.
    So, the most appropriate answer is C) went, told for which the sentence becomes:
    After school, we went and told our parents about our English teacher.
    If the options had 'will go' and 'tell' the sentence would still have been correct.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct word/phrase.
    As soon as I arrived, we ______ our food - everyone had waited for me.
    Solution
    The given sentence talks about completing the order in the past, as can be inferred from the word 'arrived' which is in simple past form. 

    Past tense expresses an action or situation that was started and finished in the past. Most past tense verbs end in “-ed”. The irregular verbs have special past tense forms which must be memorized, like "left" is the past form of leave. For example – Last night, I finished my entire holidays homework.

    Option A is in past continuous form and cannot be used here as it expresses an action that started and continued irrespective of another action in the past.
    Option C is in past perfect form which is incorrect here as it is used to express actions that started and got completed before another action in the past.
    Option D is incorrect here as 'would' is used to express sentences in subjunctive mood.

    Option B is in simple past form and is the right choice here, as it indicates that an action (order) got completed in the past. Therefore Option B is the correct answer.


  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    In the sentence given below, one word has been omitted. Write the missing word along with the words that come before it and after it. 

    Pollution not a new problem.
    Solution
    From the given options, Option B) pollution will not is incorrect without the word 'be' following 'not'.
    Option C) pollution will not is not correct because the problem is 'new' and is in the present time.
    Option D) Pollution was not is grammatically incorrect because again the problem is new but 'was' indicates that the problem was in the past.
    So, the correct answer is A) pollution is not.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    ...view full instructions

    While mixing the mixture, milk ______ separately.
    Solution
    The sentence is in the form of a generalized statement and does not refer to any action/event in the past or future. Therefore the sentence should be in simple present form.

    Option B is in simple past form therefore incorrect.
    Option C is in simple future form therefore incorrect.
    Option D is in past perfect form therefore incorrect.

    Option A is in simple present form therefore is the right answer.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    The given statement has some error. From the given options, which is the correct way of writing the given sentence?
    I am having a car.
    Solution
    'Have' and 'having' can be quite confusing. The rule is when we talk about something we own or possess e.g. car, house etc or when we talk about something that has an uncertain duration e.g a cold, a headache etc, we use 'have'. When we talk about something that has a definite beginning, duration, and end, we use 'having'. For example, I am having a baby in November, I am having dinner, etc. 
    Here, the sentence talks about possessing a car. So, the correct verb to use is 'have'.
    The correct option is B) I have a car.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb given in the bracket.

    First he _____ (have) to fill in a form for a new cheque book, as all the cheques in the old book are used up.
    Solution
    The sentence has two parts. The second part i.e 'as all the cheques in the old book are used up' indicates a present situation. Therefore, we need to use the simple present tense form of the verb 'have' to maintain tense throughout.  So, the correct answer is option A) has. The other options are not in simple present tense and so cannot be used.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    The given statement has some error. From the given options, which is the correct way of writing the given sentence?

    He left for America next week.
    Solution
    The sentence is talking about something that will happen 'next week'.
    So, it is a simple future tense sentence. From the given options, option A) uses 'is leaving' for a future tense sentence which is not correct grammatically. Option C) is incorrect grammatically since it is in the 'present' continuous conditional tense and not in the future tense. Option D) uses 'was leaving' for a future event which is incorrect. So, the most appropriate answer is B) He will leave for America next week.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence with the correct form of the verb given in the brackets:
    I was teaching English when she _____ the classroom. (enter)
    Solution
    In this sentence, there are two events occurring: 'teaching' and 'entering the classroom'. In sentences such as this, the longer, ongoing event is given in the continuous tense. The shorter event that happens while the other event is still taking place is then given in the simple past tense.
    In the sentence given, 'I was teaching' is in the past continuous tense. So, the correct form of the verb to be used here is 'entered'.
    The correct answer is option A) entered (simple past tense).
