Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable verb from the options given below:
    They _____ not want to go for a picnic on Sunday.
    Solution

    An auxiliary verb is a verb that is used along with another main verb to form tenses, negatives, and questions. Examples are: 'be', 'have' and 'do'. It usually comes before the main verb.  

    The auxiliary verb, 'have' is used to form perfect tenses or used with an infinitive to express an obligation (Example: I have to be there).  In the given sentence, the clause, 'They _____ not want to go' is in simple present tense form and not in the perfect tense. The main verb is 'want' and it is not in infinitive form. There is no mention of obligation either. Hence, the auxiliary verb, 'have' cannot be used. The words, 'have' and 'has' are forms of the auxiliary verb, 'have'. Hence, both options C and D are incorrect. 

    The auxiliary verb, 'do' is used to form negative of the simple present tense. In the given sentence, we see the word, 'not'. This indicates that the simple present tense of 'want to go' is getting converted to negative form. Hence, the correct answer is either 'do' or 'does'.

    If the subject is in the third person, singular form, the auxiliary verb, 'does' is used. Otherwise, 'do' is used. The subject, 'they' is in the third person, plural form.  Hence, option A is correct and option B is incorrect. 

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is an incorrect form of the regular verb 'spoil' ?
    Solution
    Choice C is correct as it is 3rd person present tense. Choice A is the adjective form Choice B  is wrong as it is the past form Choice D is the continuous form.  
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable verb from the options given below:
    Each one of you ______ to collect a few rupees.
    Solution

    The auxiliary verb, 'do' is used to form the negative and interrogative form of the simple present/ past tense. (Example: Do you know?) It is used to emphasize the affirmative nature of a statement. (Example: You do look weak). It is also used in the imperative to make a request more persuasive. (Example: Do be quiet). The given sentence does not fall under any of the above categories. Hence, the options A and B (which are forms of the auxiliary verb 'do') are incorrect. 

    The auxiliary verb, 'have' is sometimes used with the infinitive (to+main verb) to indicate an obligation. In the given sentence, we can see the infinitive usage (to collect). Hence, we know that the suitable form of the verb, 'have' should be used. 

    If the subject is in the third person singular form, the auxiliary verb, 'has' is used. In all other cases, 'have' is used. Here the subject is 'Each one of you'. The word, 'you' makes us wrongly think that the subject is in the second person. However, the phrase, 'each one of you' actually means 'every one of you' which means 'every person'. Hence, the subject is in the third person, singular form. Hence, 'have' cannot be used and 'has' is the suitable verb. Option C is incorrect and Option D is correct.  

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable verb from the options given below:
    ____ you drink milk everyday?

    Solution

    The auxiliary verb, 'have' is used to form perfect tenses or used with an infinitive to express an obligation (Example: I have to be there).  In the given sentence, the clause, 'They _____ not want to go' is in simple present tense form and not in the perfect tense. The main verb is 'drink' and it is not in infinitive form. There is no mention of obligation either. Hence, the auxiliary verb, 'have' cannot be used. The words, 'have' and 'has' are forms of the auxiliary verb, 'have'. Hence, both options C and D are incorrect. 

    The given sentence is an interrogative in the present tense. In such cases, the auxiliary verb, 'do' is used. Hence, the answer is either 'do' or 'does'. If the subject is in the third person, singular form, the auxiliary verb, 'does' is used. Otherwise, 'do' is used. Here the subject is 'you', is in the second person. Hence, option A is the correct answer and option B is incorrect. 

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the suitable modal verb for this sentence:
    Due to the Kranti Morcha, the road ___ be blocked today.
    Solution
    Modal verbs help determine the mood of a sentence, to indicate obligation, permission, possibility and so on. The given sentence mentions a "morcha", which would be the reason for a possible roadblock. 'May' indicates a possibility, hence it's the most suitable option. 'May' and 'can' both indicate possibility, but 'may' expresses a factual possibility whereas 'can' expresses theoretical possibility (factual possibility is based on factual information, like the morcha, and theoretical possibility is based on supposition or guesswork without any fact). Hence, option B is correct and A is incorrect. 'Could' and 'might' are both used as the past tense of 'can' and 'may', respectively, in indirect speech. Since the sentence is in direct speech, these options are not suitable; 'can' and 'could' both indicate theoretical possibility in this context and 'might' would be used in the indirect speech this way 'he said that due to the procession today the roads might be blocked'. Hence they're unsuitable and options C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Identify the regular verb from the following verbs:
    Solution
    'Grind' is the base form of the verb, its past and past participle form is 'ground'. Grind 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 'grind' and option B 'ground' are incorrect, whereas, grinding is the continuous form of the verb 'grind', therefore option C is incorrect.
    The correct option is option D, 'guard' as its past and past participle form is 'guarded'. It's a regular verb because we've simply added an -ed to form the past and past participle form of the base verb 'guard'.  
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Identify the regular verb from the verbs given below:
    Solution
    Choice D is correct as the past tense of beg is begged past participle is also 'begged continuous is 'begging' and simple present is 'begs' .So it is a regular verb.
     Choice A is wrong as simple present is 'bleed' continuous is bleeding past tense os bled and past particle is 'bled'. 
    Choice B is wrong as bear does not have an -ed ending or an -ing ending.
    Choice C is wrong as bet is the same in all forms. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    The Past Participle form of the irregular verb 'bind' is:
    Solution
    Choice B is correct  as the past particple of is bounded. Choice A is wrong as there is no word called 'binded' Choice C is wrong as -ing is the continuous form. Choice D is the present. . 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct auxiliary verb from the choices given.
    You ___________ to work in this branch. It is an order from the head office.
    Solution
    Of the two sentences given, the second one mentions, "It is an order...' This means that the first sentence expresses a command or an obligation. The subject is 'You' in second person singular form. 
    The auxiliary, 'be' followed by the infinitive ('to+verb') is used to denote a command.  The appropriate form of the auxiliary which can be used with the subject, 'you' is 'are'. 
    The auxiliary, 'have' is also used along with the infinitive ('to + verb') to indicate an obligation. The appropriate form of the auxiliary 'have' which can be used along with 'you' is 'have'. However, in the given options, 'have' is not given. Hence, the correct answer is 'are'. 'You are to work in this branch' communicates a grammatically correct command. Option A is correct 
    Options B, C and D are correct as 'had', 'do' and 'did' are not appropriate auxiliaries which can be used to denote a command. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    'Seen' is the past participle form of the irregular verb:
    Solution
    'Seek' is the base form of the verb, its past and past participle form is 'sought'.
    Therefore, option D 'seek' is incorrect.
    'See' is the base form of the verb and since it is an irregular verb its past form is 'saw' and its past participle form is 'seen'.
    Therefore, option B 'saw' is an incorrect option whereas, seeing is the continuous form of the verb 'see', therefore option C is incorrect.
    The correct option is option A.
