Test: Verbs- 2 - Class 6 MCQ

in this sentence we would be understanding the agreement of verb with subject. In this case, although the noun sounds plural, "mathematics" is singular in meaning. Some nouns which are plural in  form but singular in meaning, take a singular verb. 
"Is" is a singular verb. It is the right option. 
"were" and "are" are plural verbs. 
"have" is the root VERB and is generally used alongside the PRONOUNS I / You / We / Ye and They and PLURAL NOUNS. It is the wrong option
Option C is correct. 

The sentence is in simple present tense as it indicates an action that is a part of a plan or arrangement. 
"Wants" in option A is correct as it is third person present participle of the singular verb. This is in subject verb agreement with the singular subject 'headmaster'. 
"Is wanting" is an adjective that indicates lacking. This is not required here.
"Was wanting" is incorrect as it indicates the past participle of the adjective and indicates lack in something in the past.
As option A is correct, option D 'none of these' is void.

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. 

We use do when the subject is I, you, we or they and does with third person singular pronouns i.e when the subject is he, she or it. This sentence is given in third person, "he" which confirms the usage of "does". Now the intended meaning is that the person is not having any interest in football. So, "does not" is the correct form, the shorter version of "does not" is "doesn't".
Option D is correct. 

Soup is a singular noun. Thus, it will take the singular verb form.
"Taste" in option A is the plural form of the verb and is incorrect.
"Tastes" in option B is the singular form of the verb and is in subject verb agreement. Thus, this is correct.
"Is tasting" is the present continuous tense form of the verb. The context refers to a general truth, so simple present verb will be used.
As option B is correct, "none of these" in option D is void.

The correct answer is option B. 'Are' is used with plural noun in present tense. The sentence is in present tense and the word 'teachers' is the plural noun. 'Option C is wrong as it is used in past tense. Option A is wrong since it is used with singular noun and option D is wrong as it is used with I in present tense. 

In order to select the correct form of the verb to complete the sentence, let's understand the subject-verb agreement. Subject and verb should agree with each other, i.e., if the subject is singular, the verb should also be in its singular form; and if the subject is plural, the verb should also be in its plural form.
Option B - Though 'mathematics' has an 's' in the end, it's not a plural word. It is the name of a subject, and hence it is a singular subject. We must fill in the blank with a singular verb. As 'are' is a plural verb form, we can't use it here. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Were' is a plural verb form. As explained above, 'mathematics' is a singular subject and so, we need a singular verb form. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Been' is a singular as well as a plural auxiliary verb which is used with both singular as well as plural subject. 'Been' is always accompanied by a helping verb like - has, have or had. It is often used in perfect o perfect continuous tenses. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option A - Since 'mathematics' is a singular subject, 'is' is a singular verb form. As both the subject and the verb agree in the sentence, we can say - 'Mathematics is my favourite subject.' Hence, option A is the correct answer.

The sentence refers to an action which is a general truth in the present context. Thus, the verb will take a simple present tense. 
"Looks" in option A is correct as it is the third person present form of the verb 'look'. This can be used to represent a general truth.
"Looking" in option B is the gerund form of the verb by '+ ing'. This converts it into a noun and is incorrect.
"Look" in option C is incorrect as it is in subject verb disagreement. Look is used with plural subjects.
As option A "looks" is correct, option D "none of these" is void. 

The correct answer is b) are. The sentence refers to "houses near the sea," which is plural, so the verb "are" is needed. The complete sentence is:
What is dreamed of are not castles and palaces, but houses near the sea.

We use do when the subject is I, you, we or they and does with third person singular pronouns i.e when the subject is he, she or it. This sentence uses "I" which confirms the usage of "do". Now the intended meaning is that the person is not having any problem eating in the fast food restaurants. So, "do not" is the correct form, the shotter verson of "do not" is "don't".
Option B is correct. 

Here, the shopkeeper is asking for permission to be able to help the subject. The correct modal verb used for taking permission politely is option C) May.
'Can' is used to show ability, so it is incorrect here. 'Could' is used to express past ability or a possibility, while 'Might' is used to express slight possibility.

The blank in the given interrogative sentence refers to an action already completed in the past. Thus, the verb will be in simple past tense. 
"Told" in option A is a transitive verb but is missing the pronoun which indicates the indirect object. Thus, this is incorrect.
"They told" in option B is correct as the transitive verb 'told' requires two objects, direct and indirect. The pronoun 'they' is the indirect object and 'me' is the direct object.
Options C and D are incorrect as they use the present participle form of the transitive verb 'tell'. 
Thus, option B is the correct answer. 

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 an exclamatory sentence and generally the modal verb "may" is used in case of wishing someone or hoping something for someone. Therefore option C is the correct answer.
Whereas option A suggests what is to be done; option B suggests ability; and option D suggests something that may happen in future.

Option A is the correct answer because 'would' expresses ideas such as willingness or determination, would is also used to ask polite questions.
Option B and C are incorrect because 'can' and 'could' express ability to do something. But the sentence here talks about the willingness of the subject and not its ability.
Option D 'must' is incorrect as must is used to state certainty, or a necessary event which is not valid in this case.
Option A is the correct answer.
 

In Subject-Verb Agreement, a verb must agree with its subject in number and in person.
"The Three Musketeers" is the subject which is in singular form of proper noun. therefore it takes singular verb but of past form as the sentence is in passive voice.
Option D is the correct answer because it contains past form of singular verb. Whereas, option A, B and C do not have past form of singular verb.
