Sushant Joshi answered |
The correct answer is option 'b) Felt'.
Explanation:
To determine the appropriate form of the verb, we need to consider the tense and subject of the sentence.
In this case, the subject is 'she', which is a third person singular pronoun. When using the simple past tense with a third person singular subject, we add '-ed' to the base form of the verb.
The base form of the verb 'feel' is 'feel'. When we add '-ed' to the base form, we get 'felt'.
Therefore, the correct form of the verb in this sentence is 'felt'.

Karan prasad answered |
Explanation:
The appropriate form of the verb to fill in the blank is "rains."
Subject-Verb Agreement:
In the sentence, the subject is "it" and the verb is "rains." The subject "it" is a pronoun that represents the weather or the conditions in a particular place.
Present Simple Tense:
The verb "rains" is in the present simple tense. This tense is used to talk about general truths, habits, or things that happen regularly.
Usage:
In this sentence, the word "here" implies that the speaker is referring to the current location. Hence, it is stating that it rains regularly all year round in this place.
Example:
To further understand, let's look at an example:
- "It rains all year round here, so make sure to always carry an umbrella."
In this example, the speaker is informing the listener that it is a common occurrence for rain to happen throughout the year in their current location.
Other Options:
- Option A: "Rain" is incorrect because it is not in the correct form. The verb should agree with the subject "it" and be in the present simple tense.
- Option C: "Is raining" is incorrect because it is in the present continuous tense, which implies that the rain is happening at the time of speaking. However, the sentence is referring to a general occurrence throughout the year.
- Option D: "Was raining" is incorrect because it is in the past continuous tense. The sentence is not referring to a past event but rather a present or ongoing situation.
The appropriate form of the verb to fill in the blank is "rains."

Sreemoyee Das answered |
Explanation:
The given sentence is in the present tense, but it can also be interpreted in the past tense. Therefore, two correct options are possible for filling the blank.
Option A: Is
This option indicates that the subject is currently feeling ashamed of himself. The present tense form of the verb 'be' is 'is', which agrees with the third-person singular subject 'He'. Hence, this option is correct.
Option B: Was
This option suggests that the subject has already felt ashamed of himself in the past. The past tense form of the verb 'be' is 'was', which agrees with the third-person singular subject 'He'. Hence, this option is also correct.
Option C: Has
This option uses the present perfect tense, which indicates that the subject has experienced shame at some point in the past and that the feeling may still be present. However, the sentence does not provide any context for using the present perfect tense. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Option D: Had
This option uses the past perfect tense, which indicates that the subject had experienced shame before something else happened in the past. However, the sentence does not provide any context for using the past perfect tense. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Conclusion:
The correct options for filling the blank in the given sentence are 'A' and 'B' because the sentence can be interpreted in both the present and past tenses.

Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb.
He ______ while hiding the jewels.- a)Caught
- b)Was caught
- c)Had caught
- d)Is caught
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?
Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb.
He ______ while hiding the jewels.
He ______ while hiding the jewels.
a)
Caught
b)
Was caught
c)
Had caught
d)
Is caught
|
Amit Kumar answered |
'He' was the receiver of the action and not the doer, so the verb 'caught' has to be in the passive form. If a sentence has the word 'while', the shorter action is written in the simple past tense and the longer action, during which the other action occurred, is written in the past continuous tense. So, the correct answer will be in the simple past tense passive form, i.e 'was caught'.

Rajeev Saha answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'b' - "Had stopped".
Simple Past Tense:
The simple past tense is used to describe an action that happened in the past and is now completed. It is formed by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb.
Past Perfect Tense:
The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that happened before another action in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "had" followed by the past participle form of the verb.
Explanation of the Sentence:
In the given sentence, the action of seeing the clock stopping happened before another action in the past. Therefore, we need to use the past perfect tense to show this relationship.
Identifying the Clues:
The clue in the sentence is the word "saw", which indicates a past action. Additionally, the word "that" suggests that the action of seeing the clock stopping happened before the action mentioned after "that".
Forming the Sentence:
To form the past perfect tense, we use the auxiliary verb "had" followed by the past participle form of the verb "stop". Therefore, the correct sentence is:
"He saw that the clock had stopped."
Option Analysis:
- Option 'a' - "Stops" is incorrect because it uses the present tense form of the verb, which does not match the past tense context of the sentence.
- Option 'b' - "Had stopped" is correct because it uses the past perfect tense to show the action of stopping happening before the action of seeing.
- Option 'c' - "Has stopped" is incorrect because it uses the present perfect tense, which does not match the past tense context of the sentence.
- Option 'd' - "Stopped" is incorrect because it uses the simple past tense, which does not show the relationship between the two past actions.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'b' - "Had stopped".
The correct answer is option 'b' - "Had stopped".

Charvi Pillai answered |
Understanding Tenses
Tenses are essential in English as they indicate the time of an action. In this case, we analyze the sentence: "It was still raining when I reached there."
Identifying the Tense in the Sentence
- The phrase "It was still raining" indicates an ongoing action in the past.
- The word "was" is the past form of the verb "to be," and "raining" is the present participle of "rain."
- Together, they form the Past Continuous tense.
Why Option D is Correct
- Ongoing Action: The Past Continuous tense describes actions that were happening over a period of time in the past. Here, "was raining" shows that the rain was ongoing when the speaker arrived.
- Contextual Clarity: The use of "when I reached there" indicates a specific point in the past that interrupts the ongoing action of rain. This further solidifies the use of the Past Continuous tense.
Other Tense Options Explained
- Present Continuous (Option A): Refers to actions happening right now (e.g., "It is raining"). This does not apply here, as the action occurred in the past.
- Present Perfect (Option B): Indicates actions that occurred at an unspecified time before now (e.g., "It has rained"). Again, this does not fit the context.
- Past Indefinite (Option C): Describes completed actions in the past (e.g., "It rained"). While it refers to the past, it does not convey the ongoing nature of the action.
Conclusion
In summary, the correct answer is option D: Past Continuous, as it accurately reflects the ongoing action of raining at the time the speaker arrived. Understanding the nuances of tenses helps in constructing grammatically correct sentences.

- In English, when we talk about a future result based on a present condition, we use "will" with the base form of the verb.
Analyzing the Options
- a) Will punish – This is the correct choice. It indicates that if the condition is met (going to school late), the teacher will take action in the future (punish).
- b) Would punish – This option is usually used in hypothetical or unlikely scenarios. It doesn't fit the present condition here.
- c) Punished – This is the past tense and does not correspond to the future outcome we are predicting.
- d) Will be punished – This passive form changes the subject. The sentence structure requires an active form.
Conclusion
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A': "Will punish." It accurately reflects the future consequence of the present condition, making the sentence complete and grammatically correct.
In the sentence "If you go to school late, the teacher________(punish) you," we are dealing with a conditional statement. This type of statement expresses a condition and its result.
Identifying the Condition
- The phrase "If you go to school late" sets up a condition.
- This condition is in the present simple tense, indicating a possible future event.

In the given sentence, Balu says he is going to watch the movie tomorrow. So, we are talking about a future event. Anil is sure/determined that Balu "will love" the movie. The correct answer is, therefore, A) Will love.
Going to love is not correct grammatically since it needs to be preceded by 'are'.
Shall is only used for first-person pronouns (I, we) so it is incorrect to use it here with 'you'.
Going to love is not correct grammatically since it needs to be preceded by 'are'.

- In the given sentence, the subject is "he" which is a singular pronoun.
- Therefore, the correct form is "He is our leader."
To summarize:

Introduction:
The sentence "Cow ______milk" requires us to choose the correct tense form to fill in the blank. In this case, we need to consider the subject "Cow" and the action "milk" to determine the appropriate tense form.
Explanation:
The subject "Cow" is a singular noun, which means we need to use the third person singular form of the verb.
Simple Present Tense:
The simple present tense is used to talk about habitual actions or general truths. In this case, the cow consistently produces milk, so we need to use the simple present tense.
Options:
a) Give: This is the simple present tense form, but it is not suitable for the subject "Cow" because it is not the correct verb form.
b) Gives: This is the correct answer. "Gives" is the third person singular form of the verb "give" in the simple present tense. It matches the subject "Cow" and indicates that the cow produces milk.
c) Came: This is the past tense form of the verb "come" and is not appropriate for the context of the sentence. It does not match the subject "Cow" or convey the intended meaning.
d) Come: This is the base form of the verb "come" and is not suitable for the sentence. It does not match the subject "Cow" or indicate that the cow produces milk.
Conclusion:
The correct tense form to fill in the blank is "gives" (option B). This choice matches the subject "Cow" and indicates that the cow produces milk consistently, which aligns with the context of the sentence.
