  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks using the correct form of the verbs:
    My sister _______ already _______ the food.
    Solution
    The verb in the given sentence is 'cook'. The word, 'already' indicates that the verb 'cook' 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 'cooked'. Hence, 'has already cooked' is the correct choice of words. Option B is correct. 
    Option A: The words, 'is already cooking' is grammatically incorrect. This is because 'is cooking' is in present continuous tense. It cannot be used along with the word, 'already'. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
    Option C: The verb, 'was cooked' is in past tense and cannot be used along with the word, 'already'. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
    Option D: The auxiliary, 'did' 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 past tense (cooked) or with the word, 'recently'. Hence, option D is incorrect.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using correct form of the verb:
    ______ you ________ a newspaper everyday?
    Solution
    The word, 'everyday' in the sentence indicates that the activity mentioned n the sentence is a habitual activity. The simple present tense is used to denote a habitual activity. 
    Option A: The sentence, 'Are you reading a newspaper everyday?' is grammatically incorrect as it uses the present continuous form of the verb, 'read'. Present continuous tense is not used to express a habitual activity. It is used to describe an activity which is continuing at the time of speaking. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
    Option B: The phrase, 'Have you reading' is grammatically incorrect as the auxiliary 'have' needs to be used along with the word, 'been'. 'Have you been reading' is the correct usage and it is in present perfect continuous tense. As it is not in simple present tense, this option is incorrect. 
    Option C: The phrase, 'Do you read' is in simple present tense and can denote a habitual activity. Hence, this option is correct.
    Option D: The phrase, 'Were you reading' is in past continuous tense. It cannot denote a habitual activity which occurs everyday. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    What time does the tense in the following sentence express?

    Let's wait till he comes.
    Solution
    Options A and C: In the given sentence, the speaker suggests that 'they' should wait till 'he' comes. This means that, he has not yet come. This sounds like the future tense. The future tense refers to an action that is yet to happen. The person 'he' is yet to come. Hence option C is correct.
    Even though 'comes' is in simple present tense, the meaning changes because of the addition of the word 'till'. Often, a simple present verb is used to indicate a future action. For example, 'the train leaves at 6 o'clock'. Hence option A is incorrect.
    Option B: Since the action has not yet happened, it cannot be in the past. Thus option B is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in C.
  • Question 5

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the given sentence:
    The dolphin _________ when they _______ it.
    Solution
    The simple present tense is used to talk about a habitual action, like the regular feeding of the dolphin. The present tense of dance is "dances" and of feed in third person plural is "feed". Hence, Option D is correct.

    Option 'D' is correct. with 'Let' we always use a 'Bare infinitive' ( Infinitive without 'to' it means the first form of the verb). Example- Let him play. 
    Let me do this.
    Option 'A' is incorrect as the verb is in the fifth form, hence it cannot be used in the given sentence.
    Option 'B' is incorrect as it is in the past 
    Option 'C' is incorrect as 'was seeing' is the past continuous tense. Hence It does not fit in the given sentence.
