Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is not a regular verb?
    Solution
    'Work' is the base form of the verb, its past form is 'worked' and its past participle form is 'worked'. Work is a regular verb because its past and past participle form is formed with the addition of -ed at the end of the base form of the verb.
    Therefore, options B 'work' and option C 'worked' are incorrect, whereas, working is the continuous form of the verb 'work', therefore option A is incorrect.
    The correct option is option D, 'wrung' as it is the past participle form of the base verb 'wring'. It is an irregular verb as its past and past participle form is not formed with the addition of -ed at the end of the base form of the verb. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Correct the underlined modal verb if necessary:
    Barry said that he can not have done this without you. (ability)
    Solution
    Modal verbs help determine the mood of a sentence, to indicate obligation, permission, possibility and so on. The underlined modal verb "can" indicates ability, "Barry" did not have the ability to do "this" without the listener "you". But 'can' isn't the suitable option here as it's used in the present tense, whereas the action "have done" is in the past. 'Could' is a modal that indicates an ability in the past tense, hence option C is correct and A is wrong. 'May' and 'might' indicate possibility ('might' is used as the past tense of may); the sentence does not imply possibility but ability, hence options B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the suitable modal verb for this sentence:
    Do you believe he ___ swim so far across the river?
    Solution
    Modal verbs help determine the mood of a sentence, to indicate obligation, permission, possibility and so on. For the given sentence, 'can' is the most suitable option as it indicates ability; the person's ability is in question, to swim that far. Hence option B is correct. 'Could' is used in the past tense of 'can', when a sentence in the direct speech is transformed in the indirect speech; as this sentence is in direct speech, could isn't a suitable modal and option A is incorrect. 'May' indicates possibility or permission. In the sentence, a possibility or permission is not in question, but the ability of the person 'he' is, hence 'may' isn't the correct option. 'Might' is generally used as the past tense of 'may', the sentence neither requires 'may' nor is it in the indirect speech; hence options C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Identify the regular verb from the verb(s) given below:
    Solution
    'Cut' is the base form of verb, its past and past participle form is 'cut'. Cut is an irregular verb as its past and its past participle form is not formed with the addition of -ed at the end of the base form of the verb.
    Therefore, option B 'cut' is incorrect.
    Option B 'creep' and option D 'catch' are also incorrect as their past and past participle forms are crept, crept and caught, caught. Hence, they are irregular verbs.
    The correct option is option A, 'copy' as its past and past participle form is 'copied'. It's a regular verb because we've simply added an -ed to form the past and past participle form of the base verb 'copy'. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    What are the verbs that form their past and past participle tense in a different way than adding an 'ed'?
    Solution
    Regular verbs form the past and past participle tense with the addition of -ed at the end of the base form of the verb. Hence, option A, 'regular verbs' is incorrect.
    The infinitive is the base of a verb, often followed by 'to'. It does not form a past participle tense. Therefore, option C is incorrect.
    Option D, will also be incorrect as gerund is that form of the verb which ends in -ing, but plays the role of a noun. It is not used to form the past participle tense.
    The correct option is option B as the past and past participle form of an irregular verb is not formed with the addition of -ed at the end of the base form of the verb.   
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is not an irregular verb?
    Solution
    'Slay' is the base form of the verb, its past form is 'slew' and its past participle form is 'slain'. Slay is an irregular verb as its past and its past participle form is not formed with the addition of -ed at the end of the base form of the verb.
    Therefore, option A 'slay', option B 'slew' and option C 'slain' are incorrect.
    The correct option is option D, 'slip' as its past and past participle form is 'slipped'. It is not an irregular but a regular verb because we've simply added an -ed to form the past and past participle form of the base verb 'slip'. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Identify the regular verb from the verbs given below:
    Solution
    'Cling' is the base form of the verb, its past and past participle form is 'clung'. Cling is an irregular verb as its past and past participle form is not formed with the addition of -ed at the end of the base form of the verb.
    Therefore, option B 'cling' and option D 'clung' are incorrect.
    Option C  'cost' is also incorrect as its past and past participle form are 'cost' therefore it is an irregular verb.
    The correct option is option A, 'cursed' as it is the past and past participle form of the verb 'curse'. It's a regular verb because we've simply added an -ed to form the past and past participle form of the base verb 'curse'.  
  • Question 8

    Solution
    Choice B is correct as 'brunt' means impact of a specified action. Choice A is the simple present. Choice C is the past tense Choice D is the continuous form of the verb.

    Therefore, option C 'strung' and option D 'string' are incorrect.
    'Stride' is the base form of the verb, its past form is 'strode' and past participle form is 'stridden'. Hence the correct option is option B, 'stride'.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    The past simple form of the irregular verb 'choose' is:
    Solution
    'Choose' is the base form of the verb, since it is an irregular verb, its past form is 'chose' and past participle form is 'chosen'.
    Therefore, option A 'choose' and option B 'chosen' are incorrect, whereas choosing is the continuous form of the verb 'choose', therefore option C is incorrect.
    The correct option is option D, 'chose'.
