  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct future form of the verb from the given options.
    What ________ the life __________ like on Earth in $$2050$$?
    Solution
    Option A - 'Does, be' is used in the present tense. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Is, being' is used in the present continuous tense. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Will, to be' can't be used here. 'To be' means 'to exist'. However, we need a verb and not an infinitive. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Will, be' can be used to explain the subject's state of being in the simple future tense. Thus option B is the correct answer.
    'What will the life be like on Earth in 2050?'
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct simple past or past continuous form of the verb from the given options.
    My uncle, who lives in New York _________ me a T-shirt but it _________ of the wrong size.
    Solution
    NOTE: As the speaker already knows that the t-shirt is of the wrong size, we can understand that the action was completed in the past. Hence, we will use the simple past tense to fill in the blanks.
    Option A - 'Sent' is the past form of the verb 'send', but 'was being' is used to define the sentence in the past continuous tense. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Was being, was sending' are both used to define the sentence in the past continuous tense. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Was' is the past form of 'be verb'. However, 'was sending' is used to define the action in the past continuous tense. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Sent' is the past form of the verb 'send' and 'was' is the past form of the 'be verb'. As both the verbs represent the sentence in the simple past tense, we can use 'sent, was' here. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
    'My uncle, who lives in New York sent me a T-shirt but it was of the wrong size.'
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct present perfect or present perfect continuous form of the verb from the given options.
    Ankit and his family _______ in Europe for three weeks.
    Solution
    NOTE: As the given sentence explains the start time of the action, but not the end time, the verb will be in the present perfect continuous tense.
    Option B - Present perfect continuous tense requires 'been' to explain the continuation of the action from past till present. We can't use 'have travelling' as it is grammmatically incorrect. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Been travelling' is grammatically incorrect as without the auxiliary 'has/have'. Thus 'been travelling' can't describe the sentence in the present perfect continuous tense. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Had travelling' is grammatically incorrect as 'had' is used for past and not present. And, present perfect continuous tense requires 'has/have + been and the verb in the participle form.' Therefore, Option D is incorrect. 
    Option A - 'Have been travelling' is used to describe the action of the sentence in the present perfect continuous tense. Hence option A is the correct answer.
    'Ankit and his family have been travelling in Europe for three weeks.'
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct present perfect or present perfect continuous form of the verb from the given options.
    Steven Spielberg is a film director. He _______ a lot of famous films.
    Solution
    NOTE: As the given sentences are facts, we can understand that the sentences will have information that is true and complete. Hence, we will use the present perfect tense to fill in the blank.
    Option A - 'Is making' is used to describe the action in a sentence in the present continuous tense. As the director is not making films at the moment, we can't use 'is making' here. Thus option A is incorrect
    Option B - 'Made' is the past form of the verb 'make'. As the sentence is in the present perfect tense, we can't use 'made' here. Thus option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Has been making' is used to describe the sentence in the present perfect continuous tense. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - The subject of the sentence 'he' is third person singular and hence we can use the auxiliary 'has' which is in the singular form. As the present perfect tense requires the verb to be in the past participle form, 'made' is correct. Thus option D is the correct answer.
    'Steven Spielberg is a film director. He has made a lot of famous films.'
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct simple past or past continuous form of the verb from the given options.
    Rashmi _________ in the park when she _________ a wallet.
    Solution
    NOTE: As the sentence indicates time 'when', we can understand that - when an action was happening in the past, another action took place. Hence, we will use past continuous for the first clause and simple past for the second clause.
    Option A - 'Was walking, was finding' are both used to represent past continuous tense. As we need simple past tense for the second clause, we can't use 'was finding' here. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Walked, found' are both used to represent the sentence in the simple past tense. As we need the first clause to be in the past continuous tense, we can't use 'walked' here. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Was walking' explains that the action in the first action was continuing (past continuous tense) while the second happened. 'Found' explains that the action was completed (simple past tense). Thus option B is the correct answer.
    'Rashmi was walking in the park when she found a wallet.'
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct simple past or past continuous form of the verb from the given options.
    I __________ all the answers in today's test.
    Solution
    NOTE: The words 'today's test' explain that action is done already. Hence, we will fill in the blank with the simple past tense.
    Option A - 'Was knowing' is used to define the sentence in the past continuous tense. We use the past continuous tense to explain the continuation of the action in the past. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Did know' is grammatically incorrect here, as 'did' is used to emphasise the action. Here, the sentence wants the verb to be in the past form without an auxiliary or a helping verb. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Known' is the past participle form of the verb 'know'. As we need the past form, we can't use 'known' here. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Knew’ is the past form of 'know'. As the sentence requires the verb in simple past tense we can use ‘knew’ here. Hence option B is the correct answer.
    'I knew all the answers in today's test.'

    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    [passage-header]Read the passage and answer the question that follows:
    [/passage-header]Mama tiger and baby tiger ___[1]___ (be) out hunting in the jungle. They ___[2]___ (have) a very productive day, and ___[3]___ (now lie) down underneath a tree, sleeping off their meal and ____[4]____ (relax) in the warm afternoon sun.

    Fill in the blank using correct form of the verb given in the bracket [16]:
    Solution
    Option B: Blank no. 16 contains a quoted speech "Watch." This is spoken by the mama tiger. The verb in the blank should be a reporting verb, because the passage is directly quoting someone's speech, in the third person point of view.
    A reporting verb is generally in the past tense, and this passage is also a narration of something that has happened in the past.
    So, 'said' is the right answer.
    Hence option B is correct.
    Options A and C: 'Says' and 'say' both refer to the present tense, but the events have already happened, and are being narrator by the author of this passage. So options A and C are incorrect.
    Option D: 'Had said' refers to the past perfect tense. It is used when one action has completed before another begins. It does not agree to the given situation. Hence D is incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using appropriate tense forms from the options given.
    If Urvashi comes to me, I ___________ her.
    Solution
    The type 1 conditional is used to refer to the present or future where the situation is real. The type 1 conditional refers to a possible condition and its probable result. In these sentences the if clause is in the simple present(if Urvashi comes to me), and the main clause is in the simple future(I shall help her). Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
