Verb Test - 56

A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical center of the predicate in a sentence.

An auxiliary verb is a verb which is used in the formation of tenses, moods, tones, etc.

Option E is correct as yet indicates the use of present perfect tense.

 The other options are wrong as no other tense can be used here.

The correct answer is E) hasn't finished

The first sentence is the question and the second is the answer. The answer says that the person has already been ‘tanned’ and so the action that caused ‘tanning’ has already happened. So, the question is about the action that has already happened recently. This makes the first sentence to be one of present perfect tense. The present perfect is made using the auxiliary verb 'have/ has' plus the 'past participle' of the main verb.. Hence, Option A is the correct answer as it uses past participle of the verb “be,” i.e. “been” as required by the present perfect tense of the sentence. The helping verb ‘have’ is already contained in the first sentence.
Option B cannot be used as it is not the past participle of the verb.
Options C and D cannot be used as they would make the sentence incorrect and meaningless.

In the given sentence, 'guaranteed' is an incomplete verb. Thus, the answer must be an auxiliary that completes the verb. Also, the sentence indicates that the company guarantees the computer and the answer must indicate the same.

The first sentence is the question and the second and third are the answers. The third sentence says that the person already ‘went this morning’ and so the action that ‘going’ has already happened. So, the second sentence, being related to the third sentence, is also about the action that has already happened recently. This makes the second sentence to be one of present perfect tense. The present perfect is made using the auxiliary verb 'have/ has' plus the 'past participle' of the main verb. Hence, Option C is the correct answer as it uses past participle of the verb “be,” i.e. “been” as required by the present perfect tense of the sentence. The helping verb ‘have’ is already contained in the first sentence as its short form ‘ve’ with ‘I.’.
Options B and D cannot be used as it is not the past participle of the verb.
Option A cannot be used as it would make the sentence grammatically incorrect.

In the given sentence, 'be' is an incomplete verb. Thus, it requires an auxiliary/modal to complete it. Thus, the answer is an auxiliary/modal verb. The sentence asks whether it is possible to go next week. Thus, the subject is asking someone, if they are able to go next week. Thus, the answer must demonstrate this ability to go.

In the sentence, the first clause indicates an event that happens in the present and the second clause indicates how the event in the first clause will affect the future. The second clause states that the subject will be late. Thus, we can say that the subject will be late if his/her car fails to start. From the above points we can conclude that the answer must be an auxiliary that is in the present tense and is negative.

The first sentence is the question and the second and third are the answers. The third sentence says that they have already gone to France and so the action that ‘going’ has already happened. So, the second sentence, being related to the third sentence, is also about the action that has already happened recently. This makes the second sentence to be one of present perfect tense. The present perfect is made using the auxiliary verb 'have/ has' plus the 'past participle' of the main verb. Hence, Option C is the correct answer as it uses past participle of the verb “be,” i.e. “been” as required by the present perfect tense of the sentence. The helping verb ‘have’ is already contained in the first sentence as its short form ‘ve’ with ‘We.’.
Options B and D cannot be used as it is not the past participle of the verb.
Option A cannot be used as it would make the sentence grammatically incorrect.

In the given sentence, needed is an incomplete verb. Thus, the answer must be an auxiliary verb that completes the verb 'needed'. Here, we can see that an event in the future is being discussed. We know that present tense can be used to talk about events of the future. Thus, the answer must be in the present tense.

If we see the second sentence, it uses the verb 'went' which is the past tense of 'go'. This suggests that the action has already happened and completed in past. So the second sentence uses verb of simple past tense. The simple past is a verb tense that is used to talk about things that happened or existed before now.

The second sentence is the answer to the question given in the first sentence. As both the sentence talking about the same topic, the tense of both would be same. Hence, the first sentence would also be in past tense.

So the blanks would require verbs of past tense, which is 'did go'. So, Option C is the correct answer as the sentence is talking about an action that has happened in the past and is using the verbs of simple past tense would be used. Option A cannot be used as 'went' cannot be used with 'did'. Options B and D cannot be used as the sentence is not in present perfect tense.

The second clause is missing a verb and thus, the answer must be a complete verb. Also, 'was' indicates that the tense of the sentence is past tense and so, the answer must also be in the past. Further, the sentence indicates that it was raining and so it is reasonable to assume that the children were not planning to go outside. Thus, the answer must be negative.
