  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the past tense form of the verb:
    He _______ all the accusations. (deny)
    Solution
    Regular verbs are those whose past tense and past participles are formed by adding -ed to the end of the verb while in some cases, -d is added.
    Option A is correct. Usually, when the ending of the verb is of the form (consonant + y), "y" is changed to "i" and then -ed is added to the ending. Thus the past tense form of "deny" is "denied" where "y" is changed to "i" followed by the -ed ending. Going by this explanation, options B and C are incorrect. 
    Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in option A.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb:

    ______ the news on at five or six? [Basic]
    Solution
    The basic rule of subject-verb agreement is that a singular object takes a singular verb while a plural subject takes a plural verb. In this sense, the verb must always agree with the subject of a sentence.
    Option A is correct. "News" is not the plural of "new" (there is not plural of new since "new " is not a noun). "News" is a singular noun and thus, requires a singular verb, "is".
    Options B and C are incorrect as the verbs "are" and "aren't" are plural verbs and not singular.
    Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in A.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the past tense form of the verb:

    He _____ his face with a handkerchief. (dry)
    Solution
    Regular verbs are those whose past tense and past participles are formed by adding -ed to the end of the verb while in some cases, -d is added.
    Option C is correct. Usually, when the ending of the verb is of the form (consonant + y), "y" is changed to "i" and then -ed is added to the ending. Thus the past tense form of "try" is "tired" where "y" is changed to "i" followed by the -ed ending. Going by this explanation, options A and B are incorrect. 
    Option D is incorrect as "dry" is not past tense, but present tense.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:
    If you say something with additional emphasis, you _________.
    Solution
    In order to fill in the blank with the correct verb, let's understand the meanings of each option given.
    NOTE: The main clause is the definition of the verb in the second clause/subordinate clause. Looking at the definition, we understand that the verb is a word that is about 'saying something with additional emphasis'.
    Option A - 'Assure' means to tell something to someone positively to dispel any doubts. Hence, option A is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Declare' means to announce something. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Proclaim' means to announce something officially. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Affirm' means to state or say something in clearly or emphatically. It is the verb that is defined in the main clause of the given sentence. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
    'If you say something with additional emphasis, you affirm.'
  • Question 5

    Option C - 'Retainer' is a fee that is paid to secure someone's service, it also means a thing or person that holds something or someone in place. It is a noun and not a verb. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Retainable' is a person who can be retained (secured to give service or for other purposes). It is an adjective and not a verb. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option A - 'Retain' means to keep possession of someone or something. 'Retain' is an action, hence it is a verb. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
    RETAIN is the verb among the given options.

    Option C - 'Customarily' means the way in which one follows a custom. It also means 'usually'. It is an adverb and not a verb. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Customer' is a person who purchases goods or services. 'Customer' is a noun and not a verb. Hence, option D is incorrect.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of auxiliary verb from the given options.
    My father's wallet ___________ lost.
    Solution
    In order to fill in the blank with the correct auxiliary verb, let's understand what auxiliary verbs are. Auxiliary verbs are used to form tenses, moods and forms of other verbs. For example - I am a woman. Here, 'am' is an auxiliary verb as it indicates that the sentence is in simple present tense. 
    NOTE: 'Lost' indicates that the sentence is in simple past tense. 'Father' is the singular subject which requires the singular form of an auxiliary verb. 
    Option B - 'Were' is the plural form of the auxiliary verb used with a plural subject. As the subject in the given sentence is singular, we can't use 'were'. Hence, option A is incorrect. 
    Option C - 'Are' is the plural form of the verb which indicates present tense. As we need an auxiliary verb in past tense and in the singular form, we can't use 'are' here. Hence, option C is incorrect. 
    Option D - 'Do' is the plural form of the auxiliary verb, and it indicates the state of 'doing' something and not the state of being. Also, as it is in the present tense, we can't use 'do' here. Hence, option D is incorrect. 
    Option A - 'Was' is the singular form of the auxiliary verb used with a singular subject. It indicates the subject's state of being in the past tense. Hence, we can use 'was' here. Thus option A is the correct answer. 
    'My father's wallet was lost.'
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Select the verb among the given options.
    Solution
    In order to select the verb from the given options, let's understand each word's meaning. 
    Option A - 'Forcible' is an adjective used to describe a person who uses physical power or anything that is done by force. For example: Her forcible entry to the club was a crime. Hence, option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Forceful' is an adjective which is used for people or things that demand attention or actions. It also means to be strong and assertive. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Enforceable' is an adjective. It means a rule or a law that can be made to obey by people. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Enforce' means to make people obey, or to make people accept someone or something. 'Enforce' is an action, hence it is a verb. Thus option B is the correct answer.
    ENFORCE is the verb among the given options.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    If you give up certain demands to reach an agreement, you _______.
    Solution
    In order to fill in the blank with the correct verb, let's understand the meanings of each option given.
    NOTE: The main clause is the definition of the verb in the second clause/subordinate clause. Looking at the definition, we understand that the verb is a word that is about giving up on certain demands.
    Option A - 'Regret' means to feel sad or disappointed about something that has been done. Hence, option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Repent' means to feel sorry for someone's sin or to regret. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Lament' is a passionate expression of sadness or grief. Hence, option D is incorrect.

    NOTE: The main clause is the definition of the verb in the second clause/subordinate clause. Looking at the definition, we understand that the verb is a word that is about thinking differently.
    Option A - 'Concur' means to have the same opinion, whereas the given sentence defines the verb as to have a different opinion than the others. Hence, option A is incorrect.
