  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct auxiliary verb from the choices given.
    ________ you brush your teeth every morning?
    Solution
    The question mark at the end of the sentence indicates that it is an interrogative sentence. The verb 'brush' and the words, 'every morning' indicate that the sentence is in simple present tense. 
    The auxiliary, 'do' is used in an interrogative sentence along with simple present tenses of verbs. The appropriate form of 'do' which can be used with the subject, 'you' is 'do'. Hence, option C is correct.
    Option A: 'Are' can be used in an interrogative sentence when the verb is in present continuous tense. Eg: 'Are you brushing your teeth every morning'. However, it cannot be used when the verb is in simple present tense. Hence, this option is incorrect.
    Option B: 'Have' can be used in an interrogative when the verb in the simple past tense. Eg: 'Have you brushed your teeth today?". However, it cannot be used when the verb is in simple present tense. Hence, this option is incorrect.
    Option D: 'Was' is the past form of 'be' and cannot be used when the verb is in simple present tense. Hence, this option is incorrect.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable verb:
    Fortunately, the old car _______ not break down on the way.
    Solution
    The given sentence is a negative sentence in simple past tense. In such a sentence, the auxiliary 'did' is used. Hence, option B is the correct answer. 
    Option A: The auxiliary 'was' is used in continuous tense. It is used in passive voice. It is also used to indicate a plan/ arrangement/ command in past tense. The given sentence is in active voice and is not in continuous tense. There is no plan/ arrangement/ command in this sentence. Hence 'was' cannot be used. This option is incorrect.
    Option C: The auxiliary, 'had' is used in the formation of perfect tense and used with the infinitive to indicate an obligation in the past. However, this sentence is not in past perfect tense. Nor does it indicate any obligation. Hence, this option is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect as the auxiliary 'is' is in the present tense and not in past tense. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Identify the verb which will fill the blank suitably:

     Neither the deer nor the birds  ______ any food to eat.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Which is an incorrect form ot the irregular verb 'ride'?
    Solution
    'Ride' is the base form of the irregular verb, its past form is 'rode' and its past participle form is 'ridden'.
    Therefore, option A 'rode', option C 'ridden' and option D 'ride' are incorrect.
    The correct option is option B, 'rid' as it is different word from 'ride' and means 'to be free of'.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable auxiliary verb:
    His eye sight is weak. He ______ to wear glasses.
    Solution
    The given sentence is a sentence which expresses an obligation in the present tense. In such a sentence, the appropriate form of the auxiliary 'have' is used. As the subject 'he' is in the third person singular form, the appropriate form of the auxiliary is 'has'. Hence, option C is the correct answer. 

    Option A: The auxiliary 'had' is used to express an obligation in the past tense. Example: 'He had to wear glasses'. However, the use of the word, 'is' in the first sentence suggests that the sentence is in the present tense. So, the second sentence cannot be in past tense. Hence, this option is incorrect.
    Option B: The auxiliary, 'does' is used either (a) to form negative and interrogative sentences or (b) emphasise the affirmative nature of a sentence. Neither of these cases is applicable to the given sentence. Hence, option B is incorrect. 
    Option D: The use of the word, 'is' in the first sentence suggests that this sentence is in the present tense. So, the second sentence cannot be in past tense. However, the auxiliary 'was' is used in past tense. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    Identify the verb which will fill the blank suitably:

    The girl or her parents _______ required to come to the college.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct auxiliary verb from the choices given.
    How __________ I tell the future? It is always uncertain.
    Solution
    The two given sentences are linked. In the second sentence, the speaker says that future is always uncertain. Hence, in the first sentence, the speaker is possibly asking a question as to how one would be able to tell the future. The auxiliary, 'can' is usually used to express ability or capability. It fits in well with the context of the given two sentences. Hence, option C is correct. 
    Option A: The modal, 'should' is usually used to express duty or obligation. Eg: 'You should pray twice every day'. However, there is no obligation expressed in the two sentences. Hence, this option is incorrect.
    Option B: The auxiliary, 'is' is used in present continuous tense. Eg: 'He is telling me lies'. However, the verb, 'tell', which precedes the blank, is in simple present tense. Hence, this auxiliary is not applicable.
    Option D: The auxiliary 'has' is used in the formation of perfect tenses. It is used along with the past participle form of the verb. The past participle form of the verb, 'tell' is 'told'. However, the simple present tense form of the verb, i.e.'tell' is used. The auxiliary, 'has' is also used to express an obligation. Eg: ' She has to tell me the truth'. However, there is no obligation expressed in the two sentences. Hence, this option is incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct auxiliary verb from the choices given.
    Take care. This wall _________ about to collapse.
    Solution
    In the second sentence, the words, 'This wall' is the subject. The words, '___ about to collapse' is the predicate. The blank needs to be filled in by a main verb as there is no other verb in this sentence. The auxiliary 'is' is used in simple present tense and precedes an adjective/adjective phrase. The words, 'about to collapse' is an adjective phrase. The word 'is' also acts as a main verb. Hence, option B is the appropriate choice. 
    Option A: The auxiliary, 'will' is used to express pure future. Eg: 'The wall will collapse tomorrow'. It needs a main verb in future tense along with it to express meaning. 
    Option C: The auxiliary, 'can' is usually used to express ability or capability. However, the given sentence does not express the ability of the wall. It describes how the wall is. 
    Option D: The auxiliary 'does' is used to emphasise the affirmative nature of a statement. 
    The auxiliaries, 'will', 'can' and 'does' require another main verb along with them to convey any meaning. However, there is no other main verb in the sentence. The blank needs to be filed by a main verb. Hence, options A, C and D are incorrect choices. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct auxiliary verb from the choices given.
    Beauty and brain __________ not often go together.
    Solution
    Option A: The auxiliary, 'have' is used in the formation of perfect tenses. It is used along with the past participle form of the verb. The past participle form of the negative verb, 'not go' is 'not gone'. However, the simple present tense form of the verb, i.e.'not go' is used. The auxiliary, 'have' is sometimes also used to express an obligation. Eg: 'They have to go out today'. However, there is no obligation expressed in the two sentences. Hence, this option is incorrect.
    Option B: The auxiliary, 'are' is used along with the present continuous form of the verb. However, in the given sentence, the verb, 'not go' is in simple present tense. Hence, this option is incorrect.
    Option C: The auxiliary, 'do' is used to form the negative of the simple present tense of verb. The verb in the given sentence, 'not go' is the negative form of the verb in simple present tense. However, it is incomplete and can be completed using the auxiliary, 'do'. The complete verb is: 'Do not go'. Hence, this option is correct.
    Option D: The auxiliary, 'does' is used with the third person subject when it is singular. Eg: 'She does not go to the school'. However, the subject of the sentence, 'Beauty and brain' is in third person and is plural. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of the verb given in the options:
    The singer along with her music director and other musicians ________ going to Switzerland for shooting.
    Solution
    A word used to describe an action, state or occurrence which forms the main part of the predicate, in a sentence is a verb. In this sentence we would understand the usage of verbs. This is a sentence with third person as a subject and the sentence is in the future tense. When the sentence is in the third person, the verb used is singular. Option C and D are in plural forms. “Am” is a verb that is only used for first person. It is the wrong option as well.
    Option B is correct
