Answer:
Explanation:
To determine the correct answer, we need to identify the correct verb tense to use in the given sentence. The sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that started in the past and is still continuing in the present. In this case, the action is meeting someone interesting.
Now let's analyze the options:
- A: haven’t meet: This option is incorrect because it uses the present tense form "meet" instead of the past participle form "met" that should be used with "have" in the present perfect tense.
- B: will not meet: This option is incorrect because it uses the future tense "will not meet" instead of the present perfect tense that is required in the sentence.
- C: haven't met: This option is correct. It uses the present perfect tense with the correct form "haven't met" (have + past participle) to indicate that the speaker has not met anyone interesting since moving into the apartment.
- D: will not be meeting: This option is incorrect because it uses the future continuous tense "will not be meeting" instead of the present perfect tense that is needed in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is C: haven't met.
Sam can’t answer the door because he _________________ his hair.- a)is washing

Sam can’t answer the door because he _________________ his hair.
a)

b)

c)

d)

|
Shaurya Goel answered |
Sam can't answer the door because he is washing his hair.
We will use option (a) - is washing because the given sentence is in the present tense.
So, the word/words to be filled in the blank should be in the present tense as well.
Hence, Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:
The given sentence is talking about a duration of time that has passed and is still ongoing, which suggests the use of present perfect tense. This tense is used to describe an action that started in the past and continues in the present. The correct answer is option 'D', which is "have been living".
Present perfect tense:
The present perfect tense is formed by combining the present tense of the verb "to have" with the past participle of the main verb. It is used to describe an action that started in the past and continues in the present.
Example:
"I have been studying for two hours."
In the given sentence, the action being described is living on the island. The sentence is in present perfect tense because the action started in the past (two years ago) and is still ongoing (the person is still living on the island).
Breaking down the sentence:
"I ______________________ on this island for two years now."
- The blank space indicates that a verb is needed to complete the sentence.
- The sentence is talking about a duration of time that has passed and is still ongoing.
- The sentence is in the present perfect tense.
Options:
a) "had been living"
- This option is in past perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that was completed before another action in the past. It is not appropriate for the given sentence.
b) "was living"
- This option is in past continuous tense, which is used to describe an action that was ongoing in the past. It does not indicate that the action is still ongoing in the present.
c) "were living"
- This option is in past continuous tense, but it is incorrect because the subject is singular ("I"), so the correct verb form is "was living", not "were living".
d) "have been living"
- This option is in present perfect tense, which is appropriate for the given sentence as it describes an action that started in the past and is still ongoing in the present. This is the correct answer.
Final answer:
The correct answer is option 'D': "I have been living on this island for two years now."
The given sentence is talking about a duration of time that has passed and is still ongoing, which suggests the use of present perfect tense. This tense is used to describe an action that started in the past and continues in the present. The correct answer is option 'D', which is "have been living".

Gaurav Kumar answered |
Here, 'had been playing' in present perfect continuous is correct because it is used to indicate an action that started at some point in the past and may or may not be complete. Here, 'for two hours' indicates an action that started at some point in the past. 'Is playing' in present continuous is incorrect because it implies an action going on at the time of speaking. 'Had played' in past perfect is incorrect because it is used to indicate a completed action of the past that happened before another event took place. 'Has played' in present perfect is incorrect because it is used to indicate an action which started in the past and has continued up until now.

Madhavi kumar answered |
Explanation:
The two blanks in the sentence indicate that we need to use two different tenses to complete the sentence correctly.
The first blank requires the present perfect tense as it refers to an action that is habitually done in the past and may continue in the future. Paul usually eats his meals in the firm's canteen, which is a habitual action. Therefore, we use the present perfect tense.
The second blank requires the past continuous tense as it refers to an action that was ongoing in the past. Paul was going out with his sister, which is an action that was ongoing in the past. Therefore, we use the past continuous tense.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'A' - has, he is going/has gone.

Vikram Kapoor answered |
Sometimes, speakers use the present continuous tense to indicate that something will or will not happen in the near future, here, the action of coming this evening. The present continuous is formed using am/is/are + present participle (root verb+ing). Hence, Option A is correct.
The rest of the options either indicate that the action has already happened (Options C and D) or that the action will happen in distant and indefinite future (Option B), hence they're incorrect.

Sahana Basu answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option B) "had already left."
Context:
The sentence is describing an action that happened in the past. The speaker is talking about their arrival at the gym and what they found when they got there.
Past Perfect Tense:
The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that happened before another action in the past. In this case, the action of leaving the gym happened before the speaker arrived at the gym.
Past Perfect Tense Structure:
The past perfect tense is formed using the auxiliary verb "had" followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Analysis of Options:
a) "left" - This is the simple past tense, which does not indicate that the action happened before the speaker arrived. Incorrect.
b) "had already left" - This is the correct answer because it uses the past perfect tense to indicate that the action of leaving the gym had already happened before the speaker arrived. The use of "already" emphasizes that the action happened before a specific point in the past.
c) "had been leaving" - This is not grammatically correct. The past perfect continuous tense is not suitable in this context. Incorrect.
d) "was left" - This is the simple past tense, which does not indicate that the action happened before the speaker arrived. Incorrect.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, the correct answer is option B) "had already left." This choice correctly uses the past perfect tense to indicate that the action of leaving the gym had already happened before the speaker arrived.

a)

b)

d)

|
|
Vivek Rana answered |
The present perfect continuous tense (also known as the present perfect progressive tense) shows that something started in the past and is continuing at the present time. Here the action of going to Ireland 'during the holidays' is continuing to the present. The present perfect continuous is formed using the construction has/have been + the present participle (root verb + -ing). Hence, Option B is correct.
The rest of the options either indicate that the action has already happened or had happened (Options A and C), or is a continuous action in the present (Option D); hence they're incorrect.

Gungun Das answered |
Correct answer is A. This is the correct option because the sentence is referring to a past event (the championship) that occurred before another past event (the present time when it is said that it's about time they won). Therefore, the past perfect tense "had never won" is used to indicate that the high school had not won the championship in the past.

Ananya Das answered |
The present continuous tense is formed with the subject plus the present particle form (-ing) of the main verb and the present continuous tense of the verb to be: am, is, are.
The present continuous tense is a grammatical tense that can be used to describe when an action happened, or may happen. You can use it to describe both events that are happening in the present - right now, while you are talking about something, or in the future - something that may or will happen later on.
For this particular sentence, a specification has been made about something that is about to happen which is present continuous tense and the verb form is also in the right order.
Option A is correct.

Vivek Rana answered |
The present perfect tense is used to describe something that happened in the past, but the exact time it happened is not important. It has a relationship with the present. Have/has + past participle makes the present perfect.
In this sentence, a mention has been made about something which has happened in the past. Now since the whole sentence is in the third person, we would be using "has" and not "have".
("have" is used in case of first and second-person framed sentences.)
Now, for the past participle, it the form of a verb, typically ending in -ed in English, which is used in forming perfect and passive tenses and sometimes as an adjective. In this case, the past becomes, "been"
Option B is correct.

Krishna Iyer answered |
Here, 'has been working' in Present Perfect Continuous Tense is correct because it is used to indicate an action that started at some point in the past and may or may not be complete. Here, 'for a long time' suggests an action that started at some point in the past and may or may not be complete. Works' in present simple is incorrect because it is used to indicate a future event on a designated date as part of a plan. 'Is working' in present continuous is incorrect because it implies an action going on at the time of speaking. Working' is grammatically incorrect.

Renuka shah answered |
Explanation:
Use of Past Perfect Tense:
- The first action "visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993" happened before the second action "move in with them in 1996."
- Past Perfect tense is used to show that one action happened before another in the past.

- This form of the verb correctly shows the sequence of events - first visiting her relatives in 1993 and then moving in with them in 1996.

- Option 'A' is incorrect as it uses "has visited," which does not show the past action before another past action.
- Option 'C' is incorrect as it uses "had been visiting" which is not appropriate in this context.
- Option 'D' is incorrect as it uses present continuous tense, which is not suitable for past actions.

a)

b)

c)

d)

|
|
Vivek Rana answered |
The given sentence is in past tense, as suggested by these words 'was busy'.
Options B and D: 'Haven't gone' and 'don't go' are in present perfect tense and simple present tense, respectively. They are not suitable here since the sentence is in past tense. Hence options B and D are incorrect.
Option A: 'Hadn't gone' is in past perfect tense. It states a completed action in the past, before another action took place in the past. The given sentence does not mention two simultaneous actions, hence this tense is not suitable, and option A is correct.
Option C: 'Didn't go' is in simple past tense. It states an action that happened in the past. It agrees with the given sentence, referring to a past action in the negative.
Hence option C is correct.

- Option 'A' ("have set") is incorrect because it uses the present perfect tense, which implies an ongoing action or a completed action with a connection to the present. However, in this sentence, the action took place in the past and is not ongoing.
- Option 'C' ("sets") is incorrect because it uses the present tense, which is not suitable for describing an action that occurred in the past.
- Option 'D' ("will set") is incorrect because it uses the future tense, which does not correspond to the past event being described.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' ("set"), which accurately describes Neil Armstrong's action of placing his foot on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission on July 20th, 1969.
Explanation:
The correct answer to the question is option 'B', which is "set".
Subject-Verb Agreement:
In this sentence, the subject is "Neil Armstrong" and the verb is "set". It is important to ensure that the subject and verb agree in terms of number and tense.
Subject:
The subject of the sentence is "Neil Armstrong", referring to the astronaut who famously walked on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission.
Verb:
The verb in the sentence is "set", which is the past tense of the verb "set". This verb is the correct choice because it matches the subject "Neil Armstrong" in terms of both number (singular) and tense (past).
Contextual Understanding:
The sentence is discussing an event that occurred in the past, specifically on July 20th, 1969. Neil Armstrong's action of stepping on the moon took place during the Apollo 11 mission, marking a significant milestone in human space exploration.

Kiran Mehta answered |
The simple future is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t happened yet, here, gifting Ann a present. We use the simple future to talk about an action or condition that will begin and end in the future. The formula for the simple future is shall/will + [root form of verb], that is, shall gift. Hence, Option C is correct.
The rest of the options do not express this condition.
Option A does not ask for advice, but asks to be told what to gift. The situation calls for advice, and 'shall' expresses it.
Option B states an action already happened and D states a continuous action in the present.
Hence these options are incorrect.

Introduction:
The given sentence is in the past tense, so we need to choose the correct past tense form of the verb to complete the sentence. The correct answer is option 'C' - "went".
Explanation:
In the given sentence, the speaker is talking about a specific event that happened in the past - their visit to Brighton. Here, we need to use the past simple tense to indicate the action that took place in the past.
Past Simple Tense:
The past simple tense is used to describe completed actions or events that occurred at a specific time in the past. It is formed by using the base form of the verb (without "to") and adding "-ed" for regular verbs. However, irregular verbs have different forms in the past simple tense.
Application in the Sentence:
In the given sentence, the verb "go" is used in the past simple tense to indicate a completed action. The correct form of the verb in the past simple tense is "went". Therefore, option 'C' - "went" is the correct answer.
Example:
To understand the usage of the past simple tense, let's consider an example:
- I went to the park yesterday. (This sentence describes a specific action that happened in the past. The verb "go" is in the past simple tense.)
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the correct answer is option 'C' - "went". This choice correctly uses the past simple tense to indicate the speaker's visit to Brighton in the past.

The correct option is 'B'.
Option B, "has never flown" correctly describes the grandfather's past experience with airplanes. It means he has never flown in an airplane before.
Option A, "never flew" is grammatically incorrect, it implies that he never flew in an airplane at any point in his life.
Option C, "never flies" implies that he never flies at all, now or in the past, which may or may not be true.
Option D, "has been flying" implies that he has flown before and he is still flying, which doesn't align with the statement that grandfather has never flown before.

Gaurav Kumar answered |
The context refers to an action that will be completed by the time of speaking. The future perfect tense is used for actions that will be completed before some other point in the future. It is written as will have + [past participle]. In option B, “they’ll have put up” implies that the TV will be switched on by now. As this option uses the correct formula, this is correct. “They’ll put up” indicates simple future tense. However, as the context does not make the sequence of events clear (by using before or after something) the future perfect tense is used to show what happened first. Thus, this option is incorrect. “They’d put up” is a contraction of they would’ and is incorrect as would is used to indicate a preference or wish. This does not concur with the sentence. “They’ll be put up” implies someone will be accommodated for a stay at a place which is not their home. This is incorrect in the context. Thus, option B is correct.

Gaurav Kumar answered |
Sometimes, speakers use the present continuous tense to indicate that something will or will not happen in the near future, here, the action of 'going to a party tomorrow'. The present continuous is formed using am/is/are + present participle (root verb+ing). Hence, Option A is correct.
The rest of the options all indicate that the action has already happened, hence they're incorrect.

Understanding the Sentence Structure
In the sentence "But this________________entirely correct," we need to fill in the blank with a suitable form of the verb "to be." The context suggests that we are discussing the accuracy of a statement.
Analyzing the Options
- a) is not: This option is correct because "is" is the singular present tense form that agrees with the singular subject "this." The phrase "is not entirely correct" clearly conveys that the statement lacks complete accuracy.
- b) are not: This option is incorrect because "are" is the plural form of "to be." It does not agree with the singular subject "this."
- c) were not: This option is also incorrect. "Were" is the past tense of "to be," which does not fit the context of discussing correctness in the present.
- d) not: This option is incomplete as it lacks a verb. A complete sentence requires a form of "to be" to convey the meaning effectively.
Conclusion
The most suitable option is a) is not, as it correctly matches the subject "this" and maintains the present tense, making the statement clear and grammatically correct. Therefore, the sentence reads: "But this is not entirely correct."

Divya patel answered |
Understanding the Correct Answer
In the sentence "Rohan __________ the movie before he read the review," we need to identify the correct verb form to convey the sequence of events accurately. The correct option is "had watched."
Reasons for Choosing 'Had Watched'
- Past Perfect Tense:
- The phrase "had watched" is in the past perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that was completed before another action in the past.
- Sequence of Events:
- The structure of the sentence indicates that Rohan watched the movie prior to reading the review. The past perfect tense effectively communicates that the watching occurred first.
Why Other Options are Incorrect
- a) watches:
- This is in the simple present tense, which does not convey the past context required by the sentence.
- b) have watched:
- This is present perfect tense, suggesting a connection to the present, which is not suitable here since both actions are in the past.
- d) was watching:
- This indicates an ongoing action in the past but does not specify that it was completed before the review was read, which is essential for clarity in this context.
Conclusion
The use of "had watched" is essential for establishing the correct timeline of events. By choosing this option, we ensure the sentence clearly communicates that Rohan completed watching the movie before he engaged with the review.

Moumita Joshi answered |
The correct answer is option 'C' - "has been".
Explanation:
The sentence is talking about the recent past, specifically the weather in the recent past. We can determine this because the word "lately" is used, which indicates a period of time that is close to the present.
In English grammar, the present perfect tense is used to talk about an action or state that started in the past and continues up to the present or has a connection to the present. The structure of the present perfect tense is "has/have + past participle".
In this case, the verb "be" is used in the sentence to describe the weather. Therefore, we need to use the correct form of the verb "be" in the present perfect tense.
Here is the breakdown of the options:
a) "had been" - This is the past perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that happened before another action in the past. It is not suitable for the given sentence because we are talking about the recent past, not a past action before another past action.
b) "will be" - This is the future tense and is not appropriate for the sentence because we are talking about the present and recent past, not the future.
c) "has been" - This is the correct answer. It is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action or state that started in the past and continues up to the present or has a connection to the present. It accurately describes the recent weather conditions.
d) "would be" - This is the conditional tense and is not suitable for the sentence. It is used to talk about hypothetical or imagined situations, not the actual weather conditions.
In conclusion, the correct answer is option 'C' - "has been" because it accurately describes the recent weather conditions in the present perfect tense.

Shubham Sharma answered |
The first blank specifies something that is happening that is why we are supposed to use the present continuous (also called present progressive). It is a verb tense which is used to show that an ongoing action is happening now, either at the moment of speech or now in a larger sense. The present continuous can also be used to show that an action is going to take place in the near future. It ends in"-ing".
Thus Option C and B becomes wrong.
For the second blank, it specifies something that would happen in the future and it is relative to the speaker or writer. That is why we would be using simple future tense.
In option D, "Staying" is in present continuous tense instead of simple future tense. Option A is correct.

Rohit Sharma answered |
In the above sentence, the question asks if the subject has studied English before. Thus, the word 'before' suggests that the action is completed in the present. Thus, the answer must be in present perfect tense.
Option A is incorrect. It does not contain a main verb and thus, makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
Option B is incorrect. 'Do you study' is in the simple present tense and thus, indicates that the action is incomplete, making it incorrect.
Option C is incorrect. 'Are you studying' suggests that the action is still incomplete and is also going on at the moment and thus, is incorrect.
Option D is correct. 'Have you studied' correctly indicates that the action of 'studying' has been completed in the present and is also in the present perfect tense. Hence, it meets all the required conditions of the correct answer.

Gaurav Kumar answered |
The correct answer is Option B
The correct answer is the past perfect form of the verb 'go' because the action in the sentence has been completed.
Thus Option B- HAD GONE is the correct answer.
Options A, C, and D are incorrect because:
Option A - HAS GONE is in the present tense.
Option C- WILL GO is the future tense.
Option D- HAD WENT is grammatically incorrect because the verb 'go' is to be used. Therefore Option B is the correct answer.

Here are some key points to understand:
- Will build expresses a certainty about a future action.
- It shows that the city council has made a decision to proceed with the project.
- Other options either suggest uncertainty or are grammatically incorrect for this context.

Explanation:
The correct answer is option C, "isn't playing". In this sentence, we are talking about Jeff's current state, and using the present continuous tense ("isn't playing") to indicate that he is not currently playing basketball.
Breaking it down further:
Subject: Jeff
Verb: isn't playing
Object: basketball
Here's a breakdown of the other answer options and why they are incorrect:
A) "wasn't playing" - This uses the past tense, indicating that Jeff was not playing basketball at some point in the past, but it doesn't tell us anything about his current state.
B) "were playing" - This uses the past tense and the plural "were", which doesn't agree with the singular subject "Jeff".
D) "haven't playing" - This is grammatically incorrect. The correct form would be "haven't been playing", but even then it wouldn't make sense in this context because we're talking about Jeff's current state, not his past actions.
Overall, option C is the best choice because it uses the correct tense and clearly communicates Jeff's current state of not playing basketball.
