  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable auxiliary verb:
    Four children __________ playing in the playground.
    Solution
    Auxiliary verbs are helping verbs that add some meaning to the clauses in which they appear. They almost always(except in some cases) appear with the verb.
    The given sentence talks about four children and therefore the auxiliary verb that we need to use to fill in the blank must be in the plural form. Therefore, options A, B and D are incorrect as they are singular verbs used in different tenses and in first and second person participles. The correct answer is option C) 'were' and the complete sentence is: Four children were playing in the playground.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable verb from the options given below:
    His two sons ___ still very young.
    Solution
    The words, 'is' and 'are' are forms of the verb, 'to be'. To decide which of these to use, we have to look at the subject. If the subject is singular, 'is' has to be used. If it is Plural, 'are' has to be used. Here the subject is, 'His two sons'- which is in plural. Hence, the suitable verb is: are. Option B is correct and Option A is incorrect.
    Options C and D are incorrect as only option B is the correct answer.
