Test: Tenses- 2 - Class 6 MCQ

• The correct answer is: have been.
• The present perfect continuous tense is used.
• This tense is suitable because it describes an action that started in the past and continues into the present.
• The phrase "for 6 hours" indicates the duration of the action.

• Understanding the sentence: The sentence is talking about a future action that will happen after reading the report fully.
• Usage of "will vote": "Will" is not needed in this sentence because the action of voting will take place after reading the report fully, so the simple present tense "vote" is appropriate.
• Correct answer: The correct answer is option C: vote.

The correct answer is "have been studying". Here's why:

• The present perfect continuous tense emphasises an ongoing action that started in the past and is still continuing.
• It is used to show the duration of an activity that has not yet finished.
• The phrase "for 3 hours" indicates the duration, making this tense appropriate.

The correct answer is "have grown" for the following reasons:

• Subject-Verb Agreement: The term "most major cities" is plural, which means it should be paired with a plural verb.
• Present Perfect Tense: The phrase "over the last 30 years" suggests an action that started in the past and continues to the present, necessitating the use of the present perfect tense.
• Thus, "have grown" correctly matches both the subject and the implied time period.

The correct choice is 'have not started' for the sentence:

• Plural subjects require 'have' instead of 'has'.
• The verb form should be 'started' and not 'start'.
• This ensures correct tense and subject-verb agreement.

The correct answer is "was having".

• The past continuous tense is used to describe an action that was in progress at a specific moment in the past.
• In this sentence, taking a shower was an ongoing action that happened when the call came.

When we observe the sky and it appears cloudy, we can predict that it is going to rain. This phrase suggests that there is evidence supporting the prediction of rain.

• "Is going to" is used for predictions based on visible signs or evidence.
• In this context, looking at the sky provides visual clues for the forecast.

The correct answer is "come" because:

• In English, when constructing sentences with future time clauses (like "when"), we use the present simple tense for the action after the time clause.
• Therefore, the correct form is: "I will call you when I come back."

Solution:

• The correct choice is: "I'll wash".
• This uses the future form "will", which is appropriate for spontaneous decisions.

The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another action in the past.

• In this case, the action of the patient had been completed before the doctor arrived.
• The correct verb form is "had died," indicating the patient's condition before the doctor came.

Therefore, the correct choice is A: had died.

• The correct phrase is "had bought" because it is the past perfect form.
• Past perfect is used to show an action was completed before another past event.

• The correct form of the verb is was driving.
• This is because the past continuous tense is used to describe an action that was happening at a specific time in the past.
• The subject, "He", requires the singular past form was, making was driving the correct choice.

The correct answer for the sentence completion is "has been". This is because:

• The phrase "all evening" suggests an action that started in the past and continues to the present.
• The present perfect continuous tense ("has been playing") is used to describe such ongoing actions.

The correct answer is: were smiling.

• This uses the past continuous tense, which is formed by combining "were" with the verb ending in "-ing".
• It describes an action that was ongoing in the past.

Solution:

• The correct answer is "has been".
• Use the present perfect continuous tense for actions that started in the past and continue to the present.
• The sentence refers to an action ("working") that started in 2019 and is still ongoing.
