Olympiad Test : Tense - 1 - Class 7 MCQ

Explanation:
The correct form of present tense for the given sentence is "bring."
- Option A: "brought" is the past tense form of the verb "bring," which is not suitable for the present tense context.
- Option B: "bring" is the base form of the verb and can be used in the present tense.
- Option C: "will bring" is the future tense form of the verb "bring," which is not appropriate for the given sentence.
- Option D: "bringing" is the present participle form of the verb "bring," which is used in continuous tenses, but not necessary in this sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B: "bring."
Note: It is important to pay attention to the context and time frame of the sentence when choosing the correct tense. In this case, the speaker is referring to the present moment and the action of bringing the necessary books.

The correct answer is B: held.
Explanation:
To determine the correct form of present tense, we need to consider the time frame of the event mentioned in the sentence. In this case, the party happened in the past, specifically last week. Therefore, we need to use the past tense form of the verb "hold".
Here's a breakdown of the options:
A: hold - This is the base form of the verb and is not appropriate for a past event.
B: held - This is the correct past tense form of the verb "hold". It indicates that the party occurred in the past.
C: will hold - This is the future tense form and does not match the past event mentioned in the sentence.
D: will be holding - This is the future continuous tense form and also does not match the past event mentioned in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: held.

The correct answer is B: eat/left.
Explanation:
To determine the correct form of present tense for the given sentence, we need to consider the subject and the actions being described.
Subject: "We" (referring to a group of people)
Actions:
1. Eating breakfast
2. Leaving for school
Now let's analyze the options:
A: eat/left
- The verb "eat" is in the present tense, which is correct.
- The verb "left" is in the past tense, which is incorrect. We need a present tense verb.
B: ate/left
- The verb "ate" is in the past tense, which is incorrect. We need a present tense verb.
- The verb "left" is in the past tense, which is incorrect. We need a present tense verb.
C: ate/leave
- The verb "ate" is in the past tense, which is incorrect. We need a present tense verb.
- The verb "leave" is in the present tense, which is correct.
D: eaten/left
- The verb "eaten" is in the past participle form, which is incorrect. We need a present tense verb.
- The verb "left" is in the past tense, which is incorrect. We need a present tense verb.
Therefore, the correct form of present tense for the given sentence is "eat/left" as mentioned in option B.

The correct answer is option C: fallen/caused.
Explanation:
- In the given sentence, we are talking about a tree that had already fallen on the roof.
- Since the tree had fallen in the past, we need to use the present perfect tense to indicate an action that started in the past and is still relevant in the present.
- The past participle form of the verb "fall" is "fallen", so the correct form is "had fallen".
- The verb "cause" should be in the present tense because it refers to the damage that the fallen tree has caused.
- Therefore, the correct answer is "fallen/caused" (option C).

The correct answer is A: are practicing
Explanation:
- The sentence is in the present tense, indicating an action that is happening right now.
- The subject "They" implies a plural form.
- The verb "practice" needs to be conjugated in the present tense for plural subjects.
- The correct form of the present tense for the verb "practice" with plural subjects is "are practicing."
Therefore, the correct answer is A: are practicing.

The correct form of the present tense to fill in the blank is "is coming."

Explanation:

• The sentence states that the person being referred to has seen "us," indicating a present observation.


• The use of the present tense suggests that the person is currently moving towards "us."


• The option "come" is incorrect because it is in the simple present tense, which does not convey the ongoing action of the person coming towards "us."


• The option "came" is incorrect because it is in the simple past tense, which does not match the present tense requirement of the sentence.


• The option "will come" is incorrect because it is in the future tense, which suggests a future action rather than the present action indicated in the sentence.


• Therefore, the correct form to fill in the blank is "is coming," which accurately represents the ongoing action of the person moving towards "us" at the present moment.
  

Thus, option C "is coming" is the correct answer.

The correct answer is C: "was teaching/was sleeping."
Explanation:
- In the given sentence, we need to use the past continuous tense to describe two actions happening simultaneously in the past.
- The first action is related to the teacher, and the second action is related to the lazy boy.
- The past continuous tense is formed by using the past tense of "be" (was/were) followed by the present participle form of the main verb (-ing form).
- Let's analyze the options given:
A: taught/slept
- This option uses the past tense "taught" for the teacher, which is correct.
- However, it uses the simple past tense "slept" for the lazy boy, which does not indicate an ongoing action.
- Therefore, this option is incorrect.
B: teach/sleep
- This option uses the base form of the verb "teach" instead of the past continuous tense "was teaching."
- It also uses the simple present tense "sleep" instead of the past continuous tense "was sleeping."
- Therefore, this option is incorrect.
C: was teaching/was sleeping
- This option correctly uses the past continuous tense "was teaching" for the teacher.
- It also uses the past continuous tense "was sleeping" for the lazy boy, indicating an ongoing action.
- Therefore, this option is correct.
D: will have taught/will have slept
- This option uses the future perfect tense "will have taught" and "will have slept," which is not appropriate for the given sentence.
- The sentence requires actions in the past, not in the future.
- Therefore, this option is incorrect.
In conclusion, the correct form of past continuous tense for the given sentence is "was teaching/was sleeping," making option C the correct answer.

Given: It is a pity that Jenny __________ again.

To find: The correct form of the present tense to fill in the blank.

Options:

A: fail

B: failing

C: has failed

D: had failed

Answer: C: has failed

Explanation:

The given sentence is in the present tense as it starts with "It is".

The verb "fail" needs to be in the present tense to match the given sentence.

The correct form of the present tense for "fail" is "has failed".

Therefore, the correct answer is C: has failed.

The correct answer is D: have never seen.
Explanation:
To fill in the blank correctly, we need to use the present perfect tense, which is formed with the auxiliary verb "have" + past participle.
Let's analyze each option:
A: has never see
- This option is incorrect because the verb "see" is not in the correct form. The correct form should be "seen" as it is the past participle of "see". Additionally, "has" is used for the third-person singular, but "many people" is plural.
B: never see
- This option is incorrect because it uses the base form of the verb "see" instead of the past participle. Additionally, it lacks the auxiliary verb "have" to form the present perfect tense.
C: never saw
- This option is incorrect because it uses the past tense form "saw" instead of the past participle "seen". Additionally, it does not use the auxiliary verb "have" to form the present perfect tense.
D: have never seen
- This option is correct because it uses the auxiliary verb "have" in the present tense with the past participle "seen". The word "never" indicates that the action of seeing the picture has not occurred at any time in the past.
Therefore, the correct answer is D: have never seen.

Explanation:
