Test: Correct Form of verbs - 1 - UPSC MCQ

Correct Verb Form: A: Talk

Explanation:

In this sentence, the subject "My brother and I" is plural as it refers to more than one person. Therefore, we need to use the plural form of the verb, which is "talk."

- Subject: My brother and I
- Verb: Talk

The correct sentence is: "My brother and I talk everyday."

Correct Form of Verb

The correct form of the verb in the given sentence is:

• A: Run

Explanation

The sentence is in the present tense, and the subject "Cheetahs" is plural. Therefore, the present simple form of the verb "run" is the correct choice. Option B "Ran" is the past simple form of the verb and does not fit the context of the sentence.

Explanation:

• The sentence is in the past tense, as indicated by the phrase "till late evening."
• Therefore, the correct form of the verb should also be in the past tense.
• The past tense of "play" is "played," which makes option B the correct choice.

Explanation:

The correct form of the verb in this sentence is "drove" because:

• The sentence is in the past tense, as it talks about an action that has already happened (the friends came back from the trip).
• The verb "drive" needs to be in its past tense form, which is "drove," to match the tense of the sentence.

Correct Form of Verb

• The correct form of the verb in this sentence is "flew".
• This is because the sentence is in the simple past tense, which requires the past form of the verb "to fly", which is "flew".
• The option "flown" is the past participle form of the verb "to fly", which is not appropriate for this sentence.

Explanation

• The sentence is talking about a past event, which is the bird flying away.
• For simple past tense, we use the past form of the verb, which in the case of "to fly" is "flew".
• Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The bird flew away from the cage."

b. Sung

• The sentence is in the past tense, so we need to use the past form of the verb "sing."
• The past participle form of "sing" is "sung," which is the correct choice for this sentence.
• The sentence should read "Hannah Montana sung so well."

Seen

Correct Form of Verb:

• Mahesh ran back to his mother.

Explanation:

• The correct form of the verb "run" in this context is "ran," which is the simple past tense.
• This indicates that the action has already been completed in the past.

Correct Form of Verb:

• Option A: Went

Explanation:

• The sentence is talking about an action that happened in the past, so we need to use the past tense form of the verb "go."
• The past tense of "go" is "went."
• Option B, "go," is incorrect because it is the present tense form of the verb.
• So, the correct sentence is: "Mia went to school yesterday."

The correct form of the verb in the given sentence is:

• Caught

In this sentence, we need the past tense of the verb "catch" because the sentence is describing a completed action. The past tense of "catch" is "caught," so the correct answer is option B, "The cat caught the snake."

B: Runs

• The subject 'Rita' is a singular noun.
• In the present tense, verbs change their form according to the subject.
• For singular subjects (like 'Rita'), the verb should have an 's' at the end.
• Therefore, the correct verb form is 'runs'.
