Test: Tenses - 1 - Question 3

Direction: Select the word that will fill in the blank correctly.

Q. 'If you are focused, you can _____ your goals', her coach said.

Detailed Solution for Test: Tenses - 1 - Question 3

To solve this question, we need to select the word that will correctly fill in the blank in the given sentence.
The sentence is: "If you are focused, you can _____ your goals."
To determine the correct word, we need to consider the subject-verb agreement and the tense of the sentence.
Let's analyze the options:
A: achieve - This is the correct answer. It is in the base form of the verb and agrees with the subject "you".
B: achieves - This option is incorrect because it is in the third-person singular form of the verb, which does not agree with the subject "you".
C: achieved - This option is incorrect because it is in the past tense form of the verb, which does not match the present tense of the sentence.
D: achieving - This option is incorrect because it is in the present participle form of the verb, which does not fit grammatically in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: achieve.
Test: Tenses - 1 - Question 4

Direction: Choose the correct tense of the verb from the given options.

Q. This journal ______ twice a month.

Detailed Solution for Test: Tenses - 1 - Question 4
  • The simple present tense is used when an action is happening right now, to state or ask about things in general, or when it happens regularly or unceasingly.
  • The structure is given below:
    • Subject + V1 + object.
  • The verb will take 's/es' if the given noun/pronoun (3rd person) is singular.
  • Example:
    • He plays badminton daily.
  • In the given sentence, we need a simple present verb tense as a general statement has been given here.
  • Since 'journal' is a singular noun, the singular verb i.e., 'appears' will be used.
Test: Tenses - 1 - Question 5

Direction: Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.

Q. The French Revolution ______ to the end of monarchy in France.

Detailed Solution for Test: Tenses - 1 - Question 5
  • The most appropriate word for the given fill in the blank is 'led'. 
  • The given sentence is in the past tense.

  • In a sentence, the verb is used according to person and number.
  • The verb always conforms to the main subject of the sentence.
  • The verb 'told' used in the former part of the sentence suggests that the sentence is in the past tense.
  • In the given sentence, the pronoun 'they' suggests that the verb must be plural.

Test: Tenses - 1 - Question 7

Direction: Choose the correct form of tense for the given sentence:

Q. I know all about that film because I ______ it twice.

Detailed Solution for Test: Tenses - 1 - Question 7
  • The present perfect tense is used when the action is important and not the time of the action and the time of the action is not given in the sentence.
  • Examples,
    • have been to New York.
    • have watched this movie.
  • In the present perfect tense, 'has/ have + V3' is used.
  • According to the explanation and examples that are given above, 'have watched' is the correct choice for the blank.
     

Complete Sentence- I know all about that film because I have watched it twice.

Test: Tenses - 1 - Question 8

Direction: Choose the correct form of tense for the given sentence:

Q. According to researchers, our sleep time over the past century ______ by about 20 percent.

Detailed Solution for Test: Tenses - 1 - Question 8
  • In the given sentence we are talking about the data which is already covered so we use present perfect tense here i.e. 'has reduced' will come.
  • Present perfect tense combines the present tense and the perfect aspect used to express an event that happened in the past that has present consequences. The present perfect is used to indicate a link between the present and the past
    • Example: I have just finished my work.
  • Structure: Sub + has/have + V3 + object
  • Words from which we can identify present perfect tense: just, yet, never, already, ever, so far, up to now, recently.
  • Hence the correct sentence is- According to researchers, our sleep time over the past century has reduced by about 20 percent.
Test: Tenses - 1 - Question 9

Direction: Choose the correct form of the verbs.

Q. There is a programme on television that I want to watch ______ in five minutes.

Detailed Solution for Test: Tenses - 1 - Question 9
  • We use the present simple tense when we want to talk about fixed habits or routines – things that don't change. We use the present continuous to talk about actions that are happening at the present moment but will soon finish.
  • We can use the present continuous to talk about arrangements (plans which you have organised) in the future.
  • The present continuous is used to talk about arrangements for events at a time later than now. There is a suggestion that more than one person is aware of the event, and that some preparation has already happened. 
  • Present indefinite tense is used for something scheduled, which always occurs at the same time.
  • The given event is an event which more than one person might be aware of and also there is no scheduled time mentioned for the program, so 'It is starting' is the most appropriate option here.
  • Thus, the correct answer is 'it is starting' is the correct answer.

​The complete sentence is: There is a programme on television that I want to watch. It is starting in five minutes.

Test: Tenses - 1 - Question 10

Directions: Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

Q. I ______ for forty minutes to see the doctor before my name was announced.

Detailed Solution for Test: Tenses - 1 - Question 10
  • The given sentence is in the past perfect continuous tense. The past perfect continuous tense shows that an action that started in the past continued up until another time in the past.
  • The past perfect continuous tense is constructed using had been + the verb’s present participle (base + -ing).
  • Let us explore the given options:
    • 'Were waiting' is in the past continuous form.
    • 'Had been waiting' is in the past perfect continuous form.
    • 'Have been waiting' is in the present perfect continuous form.
    • 'Am waiting' is in the present continuous form.
       

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Complete Sentence: I had been waiting for forty minutes to see the doctor before my name was announced.
