  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    "Do ____________ clubs?"
    "I go sometimes."
    Solution
    Option A: The phrase 'you do' refers to an action. But it's not followed by a word that indicates any action. 'Clubs' refers to places, whereas 'do' refers to an action. As a result, the sentence does not form a complete meaning: 'Do you do clubs?' Hence this option is incorrect.
    Option C: 'You usually go' is missing a word. The verb 'go' is often followed by a preposition 'to'. Prepositions connect a word or a noun to the rest of the sentence. In this sentence, 'clubs' must be connected using 'to', without which the meaning is left incomplete: 'Do you usually go (to) clubs?' Hence option C is wrong.
    Option D: 'You do go to' is a part of a declarative statement. We don't use this form in interrogatory statements. The given statement is interrogatory. Also, 'do' has already been used before. 'Do' begins a question whereas the phrase 'you do...' begins a declarative statement. Hence option D is incorrect.

    This leaves option B: 'You go to' completes the sentence in grammar as well as meaning. It's a part of an interrogatory statement: Do + subject (you) + verb (go) + preposition (to) + object (clubs). Hence option B is correct.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Identify the types of nouns present in the following sentence:
    She plucked some flowers from the garden.
    Solution
    Common nouns name general things, whereas proper nouns name specific individuals or things. For example, 'man' is a common noun whereas Thomas is a proper noun, a specific name for a particular man.
    Option A: 'Flowers' and 'garden' are both common nouns since they name general things. A flower names a part of a plant, and a garden is a place filled with flowers and plants or trees. Hence this option is the right one.
    Option B: 'She' is a pronoun and not a common noun. Pronouns replace nouns that have been mentioned earlier, to avoid repetition.
    Option C: Similarly, 'she' is not a proper noun, but a pronoun.
    Option D: Common nouns name general things whereas 'she' is a pronoun that refers to a particular person.
    Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Identify the types of nouns present in the following sentence:
    Tokyo is the most populous city in the world.
    Solution
    Common nouns include both abstract as well as concrete nouns. These nouns name things, whether abstract or concrete. By abstract we mean, something that can be sensed or felt, and not touched. They include emotions and states of being. Concrete nouns can be seen, felt, tasted, smelled and heard.
    Proper nouns name a specific person, place or animal, for e.g. Amy, America.
    Option A: In the given sentence, 'Tokyo' is the name of a particular city, hence it's a proper noun.
    The nouns 'city' and 'world' are both common because they're general names. ('Tokyo' makes a common noun like 'city' more specific.)
    Hence option A is correct.
    Options B, C and D: 'Tokyo' cannot be a common noun as it names a specific city.
    'City' and 'world' cannot be proper nouns because they're general names.
    Hence these options are incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    Choose the category of the noun in italics:

    A committee of seven was appointed.
    Solution
    Option B: Collective nouns refers to a group of things of the same type. For example, 'a swarm of bees', 'a pack of wolves', etc. Collective nouns refer to a group as a singular being.
    In the given sentence, the noun 'committee' refers to 'a group of people appointed for a special function'. Hence it's a collective noun and option B is correct.
    Option A: Abstract nouns refer to things that cannot be perceived through any of our senses (touch, see, taste, smell, hear). They are emotions or states of being. For example, 'happiness', intelligence', etc.
    The noun 'committee' is not abstract because it refers to a group.
    Option C: Uncountable nouns cannot be counted, because they refer to quantity or mass. For example, some milk, some apple juice, etc.
    The noun 'committee' can be counted as 'one committee', 'three committees', etc. It's not an uncountable noun.
    Hence options A and C are incorrect.
    Option D is wrong because the answer lies in B.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
    I saw a ______ of cows in the field

  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Identify the collective noun(s) from the following sentence:
    There was a fleet of ships in the sea.
    Solution
    Collective nouns name a group of similar things or beings and are counted as a singular entity. For example, when we say 'a group of people', we're referring to the group as a whole.
    Option B: 'Fleet' is a group of ships sailing together. It refers to a group and is singular. Hence it's a collective noun and option B is correct.
    Options A, C and D: 'Ships' is a common noun as it refers to a number of vehicles. Also, it's plural and does not refer to a group.
    'Sea' is a common noun that refers to a large water body. It does not refer to any group.
    Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Pick out the countable and uncountable nouns from the following sentence:
    We tried to join together the broken pieces.
    Solution
    Countable nouns refer to individual people, places or things and can be counted. They have both singular and plural forms, example, apple/apples. Uncountable nouns do not refer to individual objects and hence cannot be counted, like rice, flour. Uncountable nouns do not have a plural form. In the sentence, 'pieces' is countable as you can count the number of the broken pieces, hence option D is correct. Option A is incorrect because 'we' is not a noun, to begin with and 'pieces' is not an uncountable noun, it can be counted as two pieces, three pieces and so on. Option B is incorrect because pieces isn't an uncountable noun, as it can be counted. Option C is incorrect because even though 'pieces' is countable, 'we' is not a noun, it's a pronoun.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Identify the types of nouns present in the following sentence:
    The elephant is the biggest animal on land.
    Solution
    Common nouns name general things, whereas proper nouns name specific individuals or things. For example, 'man' is a common noun whereas Thomas is a proper noun, a specific name for a particular man. Proper nouns always begin with a capital letter.
    Option A: 'Elephant', 'animal' and 'land' are all common nouns since they name general things.
    An elephant is a type of animal and an 'animal' is a living being. 'Land' names a part of the earth's surface.
    Hence this option is the right one.

    Option B: 'Elephant' is a common noun and not a proper noun. It names a type of animal, but does not name a particular elephant.

    Option C: 'Animal' and 'land' are not proper nouns. Proper nouns name a specific individual or a place. A proper noun like 'Tommy' names a pet dog (an animal) and a name like 'India' names a particular country (a part of land).

    Option D: Proper nouns begin with capital letters 'E', 'A', and 'L' whereas these nouns begin with small letters 'e', 'a' and 'l'. (In any sentence or a phrase in a new line, the first letter of the first word is a capital.)
    Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Identify the types of nouns present in the following sentence:
    The teacher taught us the lessons.
    Solution
    Common nouns are words that name general people, places, things or ideas. Proper nouns name a specific person, place or thing. For example, teacher is a common noun and 'Miss Bernard' is a proper noun. Proper nouns begin with a capital letter whereas the first letter of a common noun is not capitalized. From the given options, Option D is correct because 'teacher' names a general person and 'lessons' names a general thing hence they're common nouns. Option A is incorrect because teacher is a common noun, but lessons is not a proper noun as it does not refer to a specific lesson. Option B is incorrect, these words refer to a general person and thing, hence they're not proper nouns. Option C is incorrect as 'teacher' is not a proper noun, it does not name a particular person.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Pick out the countable and uncountable nouns from the following sentence:
    There are four girls in the class.
    Solution
    Countable nouns refer to nouns that can be counted and they have a singular and plural form, like apple/apples. Uncountable nouns cannot be counted, and they don't have a plural form, like rice, flour, milk. From the given options, A is correct, as 'girls' and 'class' are countable, girls is the plural form of 'girl' and can be counted as four girls, as mentioned in the sentence. Class is a collective noun which can be counted as one class, two classes, and so on. Option B is incorrect because these words are not uncountable, they can be counted. Option C is incorrect because even though girls is countable, class is not an uncountable. It's a singular collective noun that can be counted as one class, two classes, and so on. Option D is incorrect because 'girls' is not an uncountable noun, it's a plural noun which can be counted, in the sentence itself it's mentioned "four girls" which gives the count of the number of girls: four.
