Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate verb.
    The names of the merit holders _______ next week
    Solution

    Simple future tense is used when an action is promised or thought to occur in the future. A simple future tense should have a "subject" + "shall/will" + "a verb" .....

    This sentence says that "Names of the merit holders ------ next week". Now this term "next week" signifies that the whole event is going to happen in the future.  So, for this answer we need to use a simple future tense. 
    Option "A"- Simple future tense
    Option "B"- Is announced is a simple present tense
    Option "C"- Have been announced: Present perfect continuous tense
    Option "D"- Was announced: Past perfect tense

    Since "will be announced" matches with the format of the simple future tense in the first parahgraph, option "A" will be the answer. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate verb.
    William ______ many great poems on nature.
    Solution

    The given sentence talks about the writing of a particular person. Since no word in the sentence indicates which time period we are talking about, we will have to go through the options and assess which one is right.


    Option A:  It is incorrect. Since the subject within the sentence is singular, the verb will have to contain the suffix "s". The given option is inconsistent with the given rule and hence it is incorrect.


    Option B:  It is incorrect. Since the subject within the sentence is singular, the auxiliary verb can only be "is" and not "are". The given option is inconsistent with the rule and thus, it is incorrect.


    Option C: It is correct. "Wrote" represents the past form of "Write" and past forms attached with the singular subject do not need any auxiliary verbs. Thus, "William wrote" is a meaningful sentence and indicates that "William used to write many great poems on nature". It is consistent with the rules of grammar and hence is correct.


    Option D:  It is incorrect. Since the subject within the sentence is singular the auxiliary verb can only be "has" and not "have". The given option is inconsistent with the rule and hence is incorrect.


  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate verb.
    Early to bed and early to rise ______ a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
    Solution
    Here, 'makes' in simple present tense is correct because the subject (man) is singular and with singular subject, usage of singular verb (makes) is correct. Thus, the usage of 'makes' is correct and usage of 'make' is incorrect.
    'Were making' in past continuous is is incorrect because it is used to indicate uncompleted action in the past (with or without time reference).
    'Are making' in present continuous     is incorrect because it implies an action going on at the time of speaking. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    In which tense is the following sentence written?
    "I write letters to my brother."
    Solution
    The main verb in the sentence is 'write' which is used in base form without any auxiliary verb. So, the tense of the sentence is Simple Present or Present Indefinite.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate verb.
    Reckless driving ______ many accidents.
    Solution

    The given sentence talks about a fact and since no word within the sentence indicates which time period we are talking about we will have to go through all the options and assess which one is right.


    Option A: it is correct. "Reckless driving causes many accidents" is a meaningful sentence. It represents a fact that when people drive recklessly it is the cause of accidents. The sentence is grammatically consistent and hence this option is correct.


    Option B: it is incorrect. "Reckless driving" is  a type of quality and qualities are treated as singular subjects. In case of singular subjects the verb ends in a suffix "s" this option is inconsistent with the rule and hence is incorrect.


    Option C: it is incorrect. As mentioned above, "Reckless driving" is a singular subject. Thus, the auxiliary verb will be "is". This option is inconsistent with the rule and hence is incorrect.


    Option D: it is incorrect. As mentioned above, "Reckless driving" is a singular subject. Thus, the auxiliary verb will be "has". This option is inconsistent with the rule and hence is incorrect.


  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Find the most suitable option to replace the verb in bold to retain the meaning of the sentence.

    We thinking we should deal with the problem carefully.
    Solution
    Option B is the correct answer because ‘think’ is used to believe something or have an opinion or an idea, as in this case, hence it is the correct replacement. 
    Option A is incorrect because ‘had thunk ‘ is incorrect and doesn’t exist. Had thought would be correct, yet it is not the correct replacement. 
    Option C is incorrect because ‘thinks’ is used when the statement is made by a single person, while ‘think’ is used when a group states. Hence, “she thinks she should deal with...” would be correct answer. 
    Option D is incorrect because will have thought signifies the future, but the problem should be solved in the present. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Find the most suitable option to replace the verb in bold to retain the meaning of the sentence:

    She never get up early in the morning.
    Solution
    The verb in bold 'get up' is incorrect because the verb 'get' is in the first or second person (I get, you get).
    The verb must agree with the subject in person and number. Since the subject 'she' is in the third person, its verb form must be 'gets', which is also in the third person.
    Hence, the correct form is 'gets up'. So, option C is correct.
    Option A: 'Is getting up' refers to a continuous action during the present whereas the word 'never' (not ever) refers to a daily habit in the negative. Option B: 'Had get up' is grammatically incorrect. 'Had' refers to the past time whereas 'get' refers to the present.
    Option D: 'Will have got up' refers to a completed action in the future, whereas the action here happens on a daily basis.
    Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Use the words in bracket to complete the given sentence.

    '_________ this week?' 'No, he's on holiday.' (Colin/work)
    Solution
    The present continuous tense is formed with the subject plus the present particle form (-ing) of the main verb and the present continuous tense of the verb to be: am, is, are. 
    In this particular sentence, we can understand that the question is based on something which may happen "this week". The present continuous tense is a grammatical tense that can be used to describe when an action happened, or may happen. So, we would be using present continuous tense for the given blank. 
    Now, in continuous tense, the verb always ends with an '-ing', thus this would eliminate option A and D. Since, it is the present, we would be using "Is" instead of "was"
    This makes, C the correct answer. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Complete the conversation using the appropriate option:

    'I don't know how to use this computer.' 'OK, _______ you.'
    Solution
    Simple Future Tense is used to express an action that will occur or happen in the future. The simple future tense refers to a time later than now, and expresses facts or certainty.
    The blank requires an a similar sort of verb as it describes something that is about happen in the future relative to the speaker. 
    The formula for the simple future is 
    will + [root form of verb]
    The other way to show it is:
    [am/is/are] + going to + [root form verb]
    Option C matches with the formula (in bold), where "teach" plays the role of the root  verb. 
    Option C is correct
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Find the most suitable option to replace the verb in bold to retain the meaning of the sentence.

    Here is coming my brother.
    Solution
    The simple present tense takes the present participle form of the verb and for singular subjects takes the suffix 's' and for plural subjects remains as it is. Thus, option A 'comes' is the correct answer as 'my brother' is a singular subject and the verb will take the form 'comes'.
    Option B is incorrect as 'come' will be used for plural subjects in simple present tense.
    Option C is incorrect as 'ing' form of the verbs are used for the continuous tenses. 
    Option D is incorrect as 'can come' indicates the ability of coming. Here, the sentence is not referring to the ability of the brother to come. Rather it is a declarative sentence which informs us that the brother has come. 
    Thus, option A is correct.
