Test: Tense- 2 - Class 5 MCQ

Here, 'will have met' in Future Perfect Tense is correct because it is used to indicate an action that will be complete before another event takes place. Here, 'by this time tomorrow...' indicates an action that will be complete before another event takes place.
'Met' in simple past is incorrect because it indicates an action that has already been completed.
'Had met' in past perfect is incorrect because it is used to indicate a completed action of the past that happened before another event took place. 
'Have met' in present perfect is incorrect because it is used to indicate an action which started in the past and has continued up untill now. 

When we wish to show that one event in a sentence happened before another in the past, we use the past perfect tense for the event that occurred earlier. In the given sentence, 'buying the mobile phone' was completed before 'asking the friend'. So, the correct option is D. Between options B) and D), option D) she had bought is correct because the noun 'she' is before 'had'.

The sentence talks about result of telling the story. The story itself will be told in the future as indicated by the word “ wait ” within the sentence. hence, we are talking about an event that will happen or will be completed as a result of another event in the future. So, here we will have to use the future tense.
Option A: it is incorrect. ‘ is making ’ represents that the result of the story is taking place in the present but since we already know that the result of the story happens in the future, also the story itself is in the future; hence, this option is inconsistent and incorrect.
Option B: it is correct.  ‘ will make ’ means that the result of the story will happen afterwards. It is grammatically consistent and makes a meaningful sentence. Hence, it is the correct option.
Option C: it is incorrect.  ‘ made ’ represents the past tense. We already know that the events will take place in the future. Hence, this option is inconsistent and is incorrect.
Option D: it is incorrect.  ‘ Are making ’ similar to option A represents the event that is going on in the present also the auxiliary verb within the sentence represents plural subjects. it is grammatically inconsistent and does not make a meaningful sentence. Hence, it is incorrect.

The most appropriate verb form to fill in the blank is option C: "Will have closed." Here's why:
1. Future time frame: The sentence states "By this month next year," which indicates a future time frame. We need a verb form that expresses an action completed in the future.
2. Completion of an action: The word "closed" indicates the completion of an action (the closing of the shop).
3. Future perfect tense: The future perfect tense is used to describe an action that will be completed before a specific time in the future. In this case, the action of closing the shop will be completed by the month next year.
4. Verb form: The verb form "will have closed" is the future perfect tense of the verb "to close." It indicates that the shop will be closed at the specified time in the future.
In summary, option C: "Will have closed" is the most appropriate verb form to fill in the blank because it accurately conveys the completion of the action of closing the shop by the month next year.

From the given options, Option (B) pollution will not is incorrect without the word 'be' following 'not'.
Option (C) pollution will not is not correct because the problem is 'new' and is in the present time.
Option (D) Pollution was not is grammatically incorrect because again the problem is new but 'was' indicates that the problem was in the past.
So, the correct answer is (A) pollution is not.

Here, 'were surprised' in simple past tense is correct because it is used to indicate an action that has already been completed. Here, the news of defeat has already come (an event that happened in past). Thus, 'were surprised' is correct. 
'Is surprised' in simple present tense is incorrect because it is used to indicate a future event on a designated date as a part of the plan. Example: He is surprised at the course of events that were unfolding.
'Have been surprised' in present perfect continuous tense is incorrect because it is used to indicate an action that started at some point in the past and may or may not be complete. 
Example: The candidates have been surprised at the election results.
'Surprised' does not fit in the sentence. 

The second, longer action was still in continuation when the first, shorter action was completed. So, the longer action will be written in past continuous tense. The correct answer will be 'When we left this morning, the sun was shining.'

The correct answer is:

c) Has been, since

Explanation:

The sentence should be:
"Professor Ahmed has been teaching us since August, 2012."

Why?

1. "Has been" (Present Perfect Continuous Tense):

   • Used for actions that started in the past and are still continuing.

   • Example: "He has been teaching since 2012" (implies he is still teaching now).

2. "Since" (for a specific starting point in time):

   • Used with years, months, or exact dates (e.g., since 2012, since August).

Why Not Other Options?

• a) "Was, for" → Incorrect because "was" (Past Simple) doesn’t show continuity, and "for" is used with durations (e.g., for 10 years), not exact dates.

• b) "Had been, since" → Incorrect because "had been" (Past Perfect Continuous) is used for actions that ended before another past action (e.g., "He had been teaching since 2012 before he retired in 2020").

• d) "Has been, for" → Incorrect because "for" is used for durations (e.g., for 10 years), not specific start times like "August 2012."

Key Rule:

• "Since" + exact time (since 2012, since August).

• "For" + duration (for 10 years, for 3 months).

The correct answer is option B, has been suffering.
Reason-has been suffering indicates prolonged periods of sickness
Has suffered indicates a sickness in the past
Suffers implies that Roy is accustomed to sickness.
Is suffering indicated that Roy is presently ill. SO, the other options are incorrect.

We can comprehend that Ravi Shankar was honoured by the Music Society. Here, we have used 'was honoured' to state an action that began and finished in the past itself.
