Test: Subject-Verb - 1 - Question 3

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word:

None of the cats is eating their food today.

Detailed Solution for Test: Subject-Verb - 1 - Question 3
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.

Detailed Solution for Test: Subject-Verb - 1 - Question 6
Gerunds are words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. Gerunds also at times are seen to end in 'mg'. In this particular sentence, the word in the blank acts as a noun thus becoming the subject of the sentence and also like a verb by taking up the object. This means that in the blank, we would need a gerund.

Option A: Listening is a gerund as it plays dual role when substituted in the blank

Option B and C: Listen is in the present tense. It is the wrong option

Option D: Listens are in the perfect present tense and they do not act as a noun. It is the

wrong option

Test: Subject-Verb - 1 - Question 7

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words:

___________you going_______wash your car this afternoon?

Detailed Solution for Test: Subject-Verb - 1 - Question 7
A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical centre of the predicate in a sentence.

An auxiliary verb is a verb which is used in the formation of tenses, moods, tones, etc.

Option B is correct as the subject is you and this afternoon indicates an action that is going to happen. Infinitive shall be used after the gerund as it is followed by the main verb wash which is in its first form.

The other options are wrong as being is used when the subject is I. Too indicates inclusion of something which is not appropriate to be used in the question.

The correct answer is B are/to

Test: Subject-Verb - 1 - Question 8

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:

Peter wants__________a pocket calculator now.

Detailed Solution for Test: Subject-Verb - 1 - Question 8
The given sentence already contains a main verb 'want'. Thus, the answer must be a non-finite verb.

Option A is incorrect, 'uses' is a verb. Having two main verbs in one sentence will make it grammatically incorrect. Thus, it is not the correct answer.

Option B is incorrect, 'likes' is a verb. Having two main verbs in one sentence will make it grammatically incorrect. Thus, it is not the correct answer.

Option C is correct, 'to use' is a non-finite of the infinitive form. Thus, it shows that Peter has to use a pocket calculator now, without making the sentence incorrect. Thus, it is the correct answer.

Option D is incorrect, 'be' is a verb. Having two main verbs in one sentence will make it grammatically incorrect. Thus, it is not the correct answer.

Test: Subject-Verb - 1 - Question 14

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:

The teacher told us_______ any mistakes.

Detailed Solution for Test: Subject-Verb - 1 - Question 14
The normal form of a negative infinitive is "not to (verb)", in all contexts. The given context refers to 'make', so the correct usage would be 'not to make'. Hence Option C is the correct answer. We use "don't" when the subject is I, you, we or they. Hence Option A is incorrect. "Not make" and "not made" are grammatically incorrect as the adverb 'not' and the verb 'make/made' is being used without a preposition, which does not make the relationship between the two clear. Hence options C and D are incorrect.
