Subject-Verb Agreement
In this sentence, we need to choose the correct verb that agrees with the subject. The subject is "bread and butter," which is a plural noun.
The correct verb to use with a plural subject is "are." Therefore, the correct answer is option D, "are."
Explanation:
- "Is" is incorrect because it is the singular form of the verb "to be." It would be correct if the subject were singular, such as "bread" or "butter."
- "Have" is incorrect because it is a plural verb used with a singular subject.
- "Had" is incorrect because it is the past tense of the verb "to have," which does not make sense in this context.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Bread and butter are my favourite breakfast."

In this sentence, the verb "hurt" is in the past tense and refers to an action that has already happened. The subject of the sentence is "Ramesh and his friends," which is a group of people. When a verb is in the past tense and refers to a group of people, it should be conjugated in the plural form, which is "were."

Modal Verbs show us the attitude of the speaker to what is being said or done. The term "modal" means expressing mood and mood is a way to express the attitude of the speaker.
The usage of modal Verbs differs according to the type of sentences.
Option B is correct because the modal verb "can" shows the question mood of possibility or ability and can be expressed in interrogative sentences as given in the question. Whereas option A, C and D are not used in interrogative sentences. These are generally used in imperative or exclamatory sentences.

The infinitive verb is a verb with the word 'to' in front of it. There is no - ed, no - ing, no - s at the end of this verb. Here, the infinitive verb is used to show the purpose or intention of an action. To' has the same meaning as in order to or so as to signify. Thus, options A, B and D are wrong according to the rule. The correct option is C.

Subject-Verb Agreement
In grammar, subject-verb agreement refers to the correspondence between a subject and its verb in terms of number (singular or plural). In other words, if the subject is singular, the verb should be singular, and if the subject is plural, the verb should be plural.
Explanation:
The given sentence is "He as well as his classmates ___ working." Here, the subject is "he as well as his classmates".
The correct answer is option A, "are" because:
- The subject is plural. Although "he" is singular, the phrase "as well as his classmates" adds more subjects to the sentence, making it plural.
- The verb "working" needs to agree with the subject in terms of number. Therefore, we need a plural verb, which is "are".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He as well as his classmates are working."

Saumya Patel answered |
There are many exceptions to this rule.
Explanation:
There are several reasons why option 'A' (are) is the correct answer for this question.
1. Subject-verb agreement: In English grammar, the verb must agree with the subject in number. Since the subject "exceptions" is plural, the correct verb form is "are." This ensures that the sentence is grammatically correct.
2. Plural noun: The word "exceptions" is a plural noun, indicating that there is more than one exception to the rule. Therefore, it is appropriate to use the plural form of the verb "are."
3. Quantity: The word "many" in the sentence suggests that there are numerous exceptions to the rule. The use of "are" further emphasizes the abundance of exceptions, reinforcing the idea that there are several instances where the rule does not apply.
4. Context: The sentence implies that the rule being discussed is not absolute and that there are cases in which it does not hold true. By using "are," the sentence acknowledges the existence of these exceptions and highlights their significance.
In summary, the correct answer is option 'A' (are) because it aligns with subject-verb agreement, acknowledges the plurality of the noun "exceptions," emphasizes the quantity of exceptions, and maintains contextual relevance.

The sentence is in the third person singular and so the correct word to fill in the blank is option B) 'is'. Option A) 'am' is used for the first person, option C) 'do' is irrelevant in the given context, and option D) 'are' is used with plural words.

|

Amit Kumar answered |
In order to fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb, let's understand the tense of the sentence.
The words 'since seven years' explain to us that the action started in the past and is still continuing in the present, and is unfinished. Hence, we must use present perfect continuous tense.
Option B - 'Have learned' is the present perfect tense. Here the action is completed. The given sentence states that the action is still continuing. Hence, option B is incorrect. Option C - 'Have learnt' is grammatically not correct as we use the third form/past participle form of the verb with 'have' to form present perfect tense. As we need the present perfect continuous tense, we can't use 'have learnt'. Hence, option C is incorrect. Option D - 'Learned' is the past form of the verb 'learn', which is used when the action is completed. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option A - 'Have been learning' can be used here, as the words have been' explain to us that the action started in the past and the participle form 'learning' explains to us that the action is continuing in the present and is unfinished. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
'I have been learning English for seven years.'

Aisha Gupta answered |
The correct answer is C: are.
- The word "there" is an adverb indicating a location or existence. In this sentence, it is used to indicate the existence of something.
- In English, when the subject of a sentence is a noun phrase that comes after the verb, we use the verb "to be" in a particular form called the existential or dummy verb.
- The correct form of the verb "to be" in this sentence is "are" because the word "students" is plural.
- Here, the subject of the sentence is "sixty students" and "in our class" is a prepositional phrase that provides additional information.
- The correct sentence structure is "There are sixty students in our class."
Therefore, the correct answer is C: are.

Meera Rana answered |
Indian temples are the main focus in the sentence, they are being talked about, as indicated by the verb are. Thus, Indian temples are the subject of the sentence. The rest of the sentence is what is being talked about the subject, i.e., it is the predicate. In Option A, the subject and the predicate are arranged in a manner that makes complete sense and, thus, is correct which the statements of the other options fail to do.

Vivek Rana answered |
Regular verbs are those whose past tense and past participles are formed by adding a -d or an -ed to the end of the verb.
Option B is correct. In some cases, the last consonant in the verb must be doubled before adding the -ed ending. Thus, the past tense of "plan" is "planned" where the ending consonant "n" is doubled before adding the -ed ending. Going by this explanation, option A is incorrect.
Option C is incorrect since no change has been made to the verb. "Plan" is present tense and not past.
Option D is incorrect as the correct answer is B

In this sentence we would be understanding the agreement of verb with subject. One of the rule states that when the sentence is in the third person and the object is in the singular form, "s" is used for ending the verb.
Option A is wrong option as it is used alongside first person pronouns.
Option B is also the wrong option as it is used alongside third person pronouns. There are no pronouns as such in this particular sentence.
Option C is the right answer as there is an "s" ending the verb
Option D is also the wrong option as this form cannot be used for sentences having third person singular forms.

Gerunds are words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. Gerunds also at times are seen to end in 'mg'. In this particular sentence, the word in the blank acts as a noun thus becoming the subject of the sentence and also like a verb by taking up the object. This means that in the blank, we would need a gerund.
Option A: Listening is a gerund as it plays dual role when substituted in the blank
Option B and C: Listen is in the present tense. It is the wrong option
Option D: Listens are in the perfect present tense and they do not act as a noun. It is the

Explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement: A singular subject takes a singular verb, and a plural subject takes a plural verb. In this sentence, the subject is "jury," which is a collective noun, and it is treated as a singular noun.
The correct answer is:
A) was
- The jury is a collective noun.
- When a collective noun is used as a subject, it takes a singular verb.
- Therefore, the correct form of the verb to be used is 'was'.
- Hence, the correct sentence is "The jury was divided in their opinions."

Raghav Bansal answered |
When a subject is singular, the verb that follows is also singular, and when the subject is plural, the verb is also plural. This agreement between the subject and verb is called the subject-verb agreement. In the sentence, "I think the blue ones" is the subject, where 'ones' is the main subject, it's plural, hence we use a plural verb. Singular verbs generally end with s, whereas plural verbs do not end with an s. For example, in The bluejacket goes better with these pants', 'the bluejacket' is singular and so is the verb 'goes' that ends with s. Here the subject is plural, hence 'go' will be used, 'go' is a plural verb, so option A is correct and B is incorrect. Were having gone' is grammatically incorrect, 'having' is a gerund or a participle, and 'gone' is the past participle of the verb 'go', as the phrase is grammatically incorrect, option C is wrong. 'Has gone' is irrelevant here, because 'has' is a singular verb whereas the subject is plural, hence option D is incorrect.

Radha Iyer answered |
Modal Verbs show us the attitude of the speaker to what is being said or done. The term "modal" means expressing mood and mood is a way to express the attitude of the speaker.
The given sentence is firstly set in past tense and secondly, according to the meaning of the sentence, it expects a mood of impossibility.
Option C is the correct answer because it expresses impossibility or inability in the past. Whereas option A expresses inability in present; option B expresses impossibility in future;
Option D expresses something which is not supposed to happen.

Raghav Bansal answered |
When 'none' is followed by of, look at the noun in the of-phrase (object of the preposition). If the object of the preposition is singular, use a singular verb. If the object of the preposition is plural, use a plural verb.
According to the stated rule, option B is the correct answer because the object of the preposition, 'cats', is plural and the plural verb 'are' is to be used for the sentence to be grammatically correct.
Options A, C and D are incorrect because 'was', 'has been' and 'is' are singular verbs. Since the object of the preposition is plural, none of these verbs can be used with it.

A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical center of the predicate in a sentence.
An auxiliary verb is a verb which is used in the formation of tenses, moods, tones, etc. Option A is correct as felt indicates the use of tapping.
The other options are wrong as no other tense can be used here.

Meera Rana answered |
The normal form of a negative infinitive is "not to (verb)", in all contexts. The given context refers to 'make', so the correct usage would be 'not to make'. Hence Option C is the correct answer. We use "don't" when the subject is I, you, we or they. Hence Option A is incorrect. "Not make" and "not made" are grammatically incorrect as the adverb 'not' and the verb 'make/made' is being used without a preposition, which does not make the relationship between the two clear. Hence options C and D are incorrect.

Naina Sharma answered |
The infinitive verb is a verb with the word 'to' in front of it. This verb is always just a verb. There is no - ed, no - ing, no - s at the end of the verb. Thus, options A, C, and D are wrong according to the rule. The correct option is B since 'to' is in front of the phrasal verb 'stay up'. Hence, the sentence would become: His parents don't allow him to stay up after ten o'clock.

Option C)heard is correct as only past participle form of the verb can be used (simple past tense is used to show an act of the past). The other options are wrong as the action of hearing his name is finished and is not continued in the present or happens in the present. The correct answer is C)heard.
Fill in the blank with the appropriate option:
He is very strong and brave. I am certain he________fight to the finish.
- a)may
- b)before
- c)can
- d)will
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Gerunds are words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. Gerunds also at times are seen to end in 'mg'. In this particular sentence, the word in the blank acts as a noun thus becoming the subject of the sentence and also like a verb by taking up the object. This means that in the blank, we would need a gerund.
Option A: Celebrates is in the present perfect tense. Both of them don't behave like a noun.
Option B and D: Celebrated in the past tense again. Both are wrong options
Option C: Celebrating is a gerund as it behaves as a noun in the sentence
Option E: To celebrate is in the future tense and it does not act as a noun. It is the wrong
option
Option C is correct

Aditya Shah answered |
The option C is correct. The sentence speaks about the past tense. Option A and B rule out since they are used with present tense. 'Were able to ' is used with plural noun in past tense. Thus, 'was able to' is the correct answer. With T, was is used.

Aditya Shah answered |
Auxiliary verbs are helping verbs that add some meaning to the clauses in which they appear. They almost always(except in some cases) appear with the verb.
The given sentence talks about four children and therefore the auxiliary verb that we need to use to fill in the blank must be in the plural form. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they are singular verbs used in different tenses and in first and second person participles. The correct answer is option C) 'were' and the complete sentence is: Four children were playing in the playground.

Meera Rana answered |
A verb form which functions as a noun, ending in -ing is a Gerund. On the other hand, the form of a verb, ending in -ing English, which is used in forming continuous tenses is a present participle.
The two options, A and B are wrong because they do not end in -ing
Now option C is given as present participle. The verb over here is not used as a
continuous tense which makes it the wrong option.
Option D is correct because "smoking" is a verb in this sentence, which functions as a noun.
Option D is the correct option.

Gaurav Kumar answered |
The context refers to an action completed in the past. It requires a past tense form of the base verb 'be'. "Is" in option A is incorrect as "is" is used to indicate the simple present. "Was" in option B is correct as "was" is used to indicate the simple past tense. It correctly indicates the weather yesterday (past). "Were" in option C is incorrect as it is used to indicate the simple past of 'be'. However, we need the simple past of the auxiliary verb 'is'. "Wasn't" in option D is incorrect as the answer to the interrogative statement begins with 'yes'. Thus, it indicates agreement over the question. So, the weather was hot. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical centre of the predicate in a sentence.
An auxiliary verb is a verb which is used in the formation of tenses, moods, tones, etc.
Option C is correct as the 'when I was young' indicates that we are talking about the past. Here, the third form is used (had) as an ordinary verb because the main verb is missing. The other options are wrong as no other tense other than simple past can be used.
The correct answer is C had

Naina Sharma answered |
The given sentence already contains a main verb 'want'. Thus, the answer must be a non-finite verb.
Option A is incorrect, 'uses' is a verb. Having two main verbs in one sentence will make it grammatically incorrect. Thus, it is not the correct answer.
Option B is incorrect, 'likes' is a verb. Having two main verbs in one sentence will make it grammatically incorrect. Thus, it is not the correct answer.
Option C is correct, 'to use' is a non-finite of the infinitive form. Thus, it shows that Peter has to use a pocket calculator now, without making the sentence incorrect. Thus, it is the correct answer.
Option D is incorrect, 'be' is a verb. Having two main verbs in one sentence will make it grammatically incorrect. Thus, it is not the correct answer.

Aditya Shah answered |
The infinitive verb is a verb with the word 'to' in front of it. This verb is always just a verb. There is no - ed, no - ing, no - s at the end of the verb. Thus, options A, C, and D are wrong according to the rule. The correct option is B since 'to' is in front of the verb 'hurt'. Hence, the sentence would become: I'm sorry but I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

Option B is correct as the subject is you and this afternoon indicates an action that is going to happen. Infinitive shall be used after the gerund as it is followed by the main verb wash which is in its first form.
The other options are wrong as being is used when the subject is I. Too indicates inclusion of something which is not appropriate to be used in the question.
The correct answer is B are/to

Answer:
The correct answer is A: is. Here's a detailed explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement:
In English grammar, subject-verb agreement is an important rule to follow. The verb in a sentence must agree with the subject in terms of number (singular or plural).
Favourite Subject:
In the given sentence, the subject is "Mathematics" which is a singular noun. Therefore, we need to use a singular verb to maintain subject-verb agreement.
Options:
Let's analyze the given options one by one:
A: is - This is the correct answer. It is a singular verb that agrees with the singular subject "Mathematics".
B: are - This is incorrect because "are" is a plural verb and doesn't agree with the singular subject "Mathematics".
C: were - This is incorrect because "were" is past tense and doesn't agree with the present tense subject "Mathematics".
D: None of these - This is incorrect as option A is the correct answer.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is A: is. The sentence should be written as "Mathematics is my favourite subject." This maintains subject-verb agreement by using a singular verb with the singular subject.
