  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    The following sentence has not been edited. There is one error in the line. Choose the option that has the incorrect word and the correction against it.

    He moved through the row and sit on a chair.
    Solution
    The given sentence is in simple past form as can be inferred from the word 'moved'. Therefore the accompanying verb in the sentence 'sit' should also be in its simple past form which is 'sat'. Therefore options B, C and D are incorrect.

    Whereas other options are not in simple past form, therefore, are incorrect. Option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Pick the option that best corrects the following sentence:
    I am going to the office every day by bus.
    Solution
    The given sentence is grammatically incorrect because we use 'am going' when we are going somewhere in the present and not for an activity performed on a regular basis.
    From the options given, option A) is incorrect because 'were' is used for plural nouns/pronouns but here the pronoun is singular, 'I'. Option B) 'will have gone' is incorrect because it is in the future perfect tense. Options C and D are both correct. Option C has 'go to' which is the right tense (simple present) to use for habits or events that take place on a regular basis. Option D is not grammatically correct, it should be 'I have been going to the office. . .'. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of the verb given in the bracket that completes the sentence correctly:
    We _____ our lunch half an hour ago. (Finish)
    Solution
    The sentence has one event occurring i.e finishing lunch. So we cannot use the past perfect tense (this would require two events) which rules out options A and B. The event happened half an hour ago. So, it is in the simple past tense. Option D) have finished is in the present perfect tense so it is incorrect. Therefore, the best answer is option C) finished. Also, an important thing to notice is the adverb of past time (an hour ago) and when that is mentioned in the sentence, the verb is in the simple past tense.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb given in the brackets:
    He comes across some friends who _______ (inform) him about the ATM and E-Banking which will be introduced shortly.
    Solution
    The sentence clearly indicates a situation which is in the present tense. This is evident from the word 'comes' which is in the simple present tense.
    The sentence also talks about something that will happen shortly. Option A) should have informed is in the past tense and the word 'should' makes it obligatory which is incorrect in the given context. Option B) had informed is in the past perfect tense and is also incorrect. Option C) is in the simple past tense and is incorrect as well. So, the correct option is option D) as it is consistent the tense of verb 'comes' 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb given in the bracket.

    He ______ (think) this amount will be sufficient at the moment.
    Solution
    Option B is the correct answer because the person is thinking right now, in the present, that the amount is sufficient ,so thinks is correct.
    Option A and D are incorrect because 'was thinking' and 'thought' are past tense, while the statement is made in the present tense, note: 'at the moment'.
    Option C is incorrect because it is in future tense while the statement is made in the present.

  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that completes the sentence correctly:

    I ______ hard until I crack the MBA entrance examinations.
    Solution
    Here, 'will study' in simple future tense is correct because it is used to indicate an action that has not taken place as yet. Here, 'will study' is an action that has not taken place as yet. 
    'Am studying' in present continuous is incorrect because it implies an action going on at the time of speaking.
    'Was studying' in 
    past continuous is incorrect because it is used to indicate uncompleted action in the past (with or without time reference).
    Usage of 'study' in this sentence is grammatically incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best completes the sentence correctly:

    Now the sun _______.
    Solution
    When the word 'now' is used, it is clear that we are talking about a situation in the present. So, the answer should be in the present continuous tense, 'is shining'. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose from the options given below so as to complete the sentence correctly:

    I ______ on this project for months without success.
    Solution
    The sentence talks about an action that began in the past and is continuing in the present, as can be inferred from 'for months' in the sentence.

    Present perfect continuous tense describes an action that began in the past, continues in the present, and may continue into the future. This tense is formed by using “has/have been” and the present form of the verb (the verb form ending in “–ing”). For example - I have been living here for years.

    Option B is in the right form of present perfect continuous, therefore is correct.

    Option A and C do not convey the meaning of the sentence, whereas option  D is in past perfect form. Therefore options A, C, D are incorrect.

    Option B is the correct answer.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Pick the option that best fills in the blank in the given sentence to complete it logically and correctly.
    As soon as I _______ home, it started raining heavily.
    Solution
    We know the tense of the given sentence by the phrase "it started raining" which is in simple past tense, hence the phrase that fills the blank should also be in simple past tense. Option B is hence correct, as 'got' is in the simple past tense. Option A is incorrect because 'get' is in the present tense, and the sentence is in the past tense. Option C is incorrect because "will have gotten" is in the future perfect tense, whereas the sentence is in the past. Option D is incorrect because "had gotten" is in the past perfect tense, if we use this we'd have to change the phrase "it started" to "it had started", they both need to be of the same tense, 'as soon as' means that both the actions happened at the same time. So, both the tense verbs ('got' and 'started') must be in simple past tense.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that completes the sentence correctly.
    I _______  to my teacher now.
    Solution
    The sentence talks about an event that is happening in the present, as can be inferred from the word 'now'.

    Present continuous tense describes an ongoing action that is happening at the same time the statement is written. This tense is formed by using “am/is/are” with the verb form ending in “-ing”. For example - I am reading this book at the moment.

    'I is' is incorrect and 'I am' is correct axiomatically, that is its a rule and not a consequence. Therefore option C is incorrect.
    'Are' is not used with first person singular forms. Therefore option B is incorrect.
    'Talk' as a verb can only be used in sentences that are generalized or habitual. For Eg. I talk to my teacher everyday. They talk a lot. However 'talk' cannot be used in present continuous form, therefore option A is incorrect.

    Option B is in the correct form of present continuous therefore is correct.
