  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    A friend has just come back from holiday. You ask him about it. Choose your question using following words.
    (the weather / fine?) 
    Solution
    The simple past (also called past simple, past indefinite) is a verb tense which is used to show that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past. The simple past is also frequently used to talk about past habits and generalizations. The simple past is formed using the verb + ed. Questions and negative forms in statements are made with did and did not. Many verbs, such as "have," take irregular forms in the simple past. The verb "be" is also irregular in the simple past. Unlike other irregular verbs, there are two simple past forms: "was" and "were.
    Since, we are talking about an action which has happened in the past, we will be using simple past tense. The verb in this case is "Be", so the simple past form is "was"
    Option B is correct
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Frame a suitable question using the given words:
    A friend has just come back from holiday. You ask him about it. Write your question.
    (what / do in the evenings?) 
    Solution
    The simple past (also called past simple, past indefinite) is a verb tense which is used to show that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past. We use the simple past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past, here, the action of doing something in the evenings. The simple past is formed using the verb + ed. In addition, there are many verbs with irregular past forms. Questions are made with 'did' and negative forms are made with 'did not'. Hence, Option D is correct.

    The rest of the options do not express this condition. They either mention actions that are happening in the present (Options A and C), or actions that are yet to happen in the near future (Option B).
    Hence these options are incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    A friend has just come back from holiday. You ask him about it. Write your question using the following words:
    (where/go?) 
    Solution
    The simple past (also called past simple, past indefinite) is a verb tense which is used to show that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past. We use the simple past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past, here, the action of going. The simple past is formed using the second form of the verb. In addition. Questions are made with 'did' and negative forms are made with 'did not'. Hence, Option B is correct.

    The rest of the options do not express this condition. They either mention actions that are happening or have happened in the present (options C and D), or use the incorrect verb form 'went' (option A). While framing a question in past, we introduce the word 'did' + base verb.
    Hence these options are incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Use appropriate verb forms to fill in the blanks :
    Jane ____ (wait) for me when I _____ (arrive).
    Solution
    The past continuous (also called past progressive) is a verb tense which is used to show that an ongoing past action was happening at a specific moment of interruption, or that two ongoing actions were happening at the same time. The past continuous is formed using was/were + present participle (root+ing). Now, for the 1st blank an ongoing past action has been shown thus it is an past continuous tense. The verb in this case would become "was waiting"
    The simple past (also called past simple, past indefinite) is a verb tense which is used to show that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past. The simple past is also frequently used to talk about past habits and generalizations. The simple past is formed using the verb + ed. Questions are made with did and negative forms are made with did not.
    Since, in the 2nd blank we are talking about an action which has happened in the past, we will be using simple past tense. The verb form is arrive, which means the simple past form "arrived"
    Option A is correct
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    As per the situation choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blank:
    (Sue has been in France for the last three weeks.)

    1 / -0

    Option B is correct
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Read about Colin. Choose the correct option as per the situation/timing asked further:

    Colin goes to work every day. He leaves home at 8 o'clock and arrives at work at about 8:45. He starts work immediately and continues until 12:30 when he has lunch (which takes about half an hour). He starts work again at 1:15 and goes home at exactly 4:30. Every day he follows the same routine and tomorrow will be no exception.

    __________________ at 4:45 tomorrow.
    Solution
    The future perfect is a verb tense used for actions that will be completed before some other point in the future. It is for talking about an action that will be completed between now and some point in the future. Here, the action of leaving from work will be completed before a specific point of time '4:45'. Hence, Option C is correct.
    The rest of the options do not express this condition. They do not adhere to the details in the passage:
    Option A mentions that he will leave' at 4:45 whereas it's mentioned that "goes home at exactly 4:30".
    Option B mentions that he'll be leaving 'for work' but the passage mentions "he leaves home at 8 o'clock".
    Option D mentions that 'he'll have arrived home at 4:45' but the passage does not indicate that.
    Hence these options are incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    I _____ a headache earlier but I feel fine now. (have)
    Solution
    The simple past (also called past simple, past indefinite) is a verb tense which is used to show that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past. The simple past is also frequently used to talk about past habits and generalizations. The simple past is formed using the verb + ed. Questions and negative forms in statements are made with did and did not. Many verbs, such as "have," take irregular forms in the simple past.
    Since, we are talking about an action which has happened in the past, we will be using simple past tense. In this case we have the "have" as an irregular verb thus the simple past form is "had".
    Option C is correct
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Frame a meaningful statement using the given words:
    (I/dinner/friends/last night/you come)
    Solution
    Option C is the correct answer because according to the given words, the statement to be made is in the past tense, hence, was having dinner is correct, and ‘came’ is the past tense of ‘come’ hence it is correct. 
    Option B and D are incorrect because come is in the present tense in those, while the question is in past tense 
    Option A is incorrect because I had dinner when you had come, is incorrect, it should be when you came.
