Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Identify the incorrect sentence among the following:
    Solution
    “Did” is the past tense of “do” and is used in questions and negative statements. 
    Here, it is incorrect to say “did they sent me” because did is already in the past tense, but the question is being asked in the present tense, hence it would be correct to say, “did they send me any books”. 
    Hence option A is the correct answer. 
    The other three options are  correct sentences. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose the option which completes the following sentence:

    She said she ________ to me, but she never did.
    Solution
    The sentence talks about an action that was supposed to be done but did not happen. When we wish to say that we believed something would happen, we use the word 'would'. If we wish to say that we believe something will happen in the future, we use the word 'will'. In the given sentence, the person believed that the girl would write, but it didn't happen. Hence, the right answer is option C.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    [passage-header]Complete the paragraph given below by filling in the blank with the help of the options that follow:[/passage-header]The rapid changes that India (a) _____ over the last few decades have been welcomed by (b) _____. It is an enthusiasm which (c) _____.

    ...view full instructions

    Which of the following will correctly fill the blank at (a)?
    Solution
    The present perfect continuous tense is used to talk about how long something has been happening; something that stated in the past but continued to the present. Since we are talking about the changes that took place over the 'last few decades', it is only apt that the present perfect continuous tense is used. Hence option C is the correct answer.
    Options A, B and D are incorrect because they are not in the present perfect continuous tenses.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Read the following and frame meaningful questions:

    A friend of yours is saving money to go on holiday. You ask:
    (how long / save?) ..........
    (how much money / save?) ..........
    Solution
    'Is saving' implies that the person continues to save money till the present moment. Since the action of saving started in the past and continues to the present moment, we will use the present perfect continuous tense. The syntax for present perfect continuous tense is: has / have + been + verb (ing).

    When we wish to convey that an action happened at an unspecified time in the past, we use the present perfect tense. The syntax for present perfect tense is: has / have + verb in its third form. 

    Therefore, the correct option is:
    How long have you been saving?
    How much money have you saved?
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Read the situation and frame meaningful sentences using the words in brackets.

    When they left college, Mary and Sue started making films together. They still make films.

    (make / ten films together) They _____
    (make / films since they left college) _____
    Solution
    The first verb indicates an action that started and finished at a specific time in the past. Here, the action of 'making films' happened in the past. This is indicated using the simple past tense. The syntax of simple past tense is:
    Verb in the second form. 

    'They still make films' implies that they have made films before and continue to make films in the present. This is indicated using present perfect continuous tense. The syntax for present perfect continuous tense is: has/have been + verb (ing).

    Therefore, the correct answer is:
    They made ten films together.
    They have been making films since they left college.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    In which tense is the second form of the verb used?
    Solution
    The three basic forms of a verb are the base form, the past form, and the -ed form (past participle form). For e.g. sleep slept (sometimes, the second and third forms are the same verb 'slept', but they aren't used in the same way.)
    The past form of the verb, or the second form, expresses the simple past tense (also called the past indefinite tense).
    Hence, option A is correct.
    Options B and C: The past and present perfect tense both use the third form of the verb, the past participle: (had + 'verb+ed') and (has + 'verb+ed'). Hence these are not the correct options.
    Option D: The past continuous tense uses the present participle (verb form that ends in -ing) and not the simple past form. Hence D is incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is a correct sentence?
    Solution
    The verb 'reading' in these sentences is used as a noun, i.e as a gerund, because it acts like the object of the main verb 'like'. The verb 'like' must be in the present indefinite form as we are talking about a habitual activity. Hence, the right answer is 'You like reading books'. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Identify the tense used in the following sentence:

    I will be designing a new helicopter.
    Solution
    Choice B is correct as the verb 'design' has been written as 'will be designing'. Choice A is incorrect as then the verb will not be in -ing form. Choice C is incorrect as it shows the action would be completed or finished in the future. Choice D is incorrect as it will show that the action will continue up to a point in the future. Hence the correct answer is B.  
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using correct form of the verb:
    We _______ recently _______ to a new house.
    Solution
    The verb in the given sentence is 'shift'. The word, 'recently' indicates that the verb 'shift' has been completed in the recent past. The present perfect tense (has/ have + past participle form of the verb) is used to indicate activities in the immediate past. The past participle form of the verb is 'shifted'. Hence, 'have shifted' as given in option A is the correct answer.
    Option B is incorrect as 'are shifting' is in present continuous tense. It cannot be used along with the word, 'recently'. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
    Option C: The auxiliary, 'do' is used along with the simple present tense form of the verb in order to emphasise a statement. However, it cannot be used along with the verb in present continuous tense (shifting) or the word, 'recently'. Hence, option C is incorrect. 
    Option D: The verb, 'will shift' is in future tense. It cannot be used along with the word, 'recently'. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Identify the tense used in the following sentence:
    They will have worn their best dresses.
    Solution
    Here, 'will have worn' indicates Future Perfect. It is used to indicate an action that will be complete before another event takes place.
    Future Perfect Continuous (will have been wearing) is used to indicate an action that will have happened for some time and will not be complete yet at a certain point in the future. 
    Present Perfect (have worn) is used to indicate an action which started in the past and has continued up untill now. 
    Future Continuous (will be wearing) indicates what will be going on in the near future.
