Test: The Tense- 2 - Bank Exams MCQ

Option A - 'Does, be' is used in the present tense. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C - 'Is, being' is used in the present continuous tense. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Will, to be' can't be used here. 'To be' means 'to exist'. However, we need a verb and not an infinitive. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option B - 'Will, be' can be used to explain the subject's state of being in the simple future tense. Thus option B is the correct answer.
'What will the life be like on Earth in 2050?'

NOTE: As the given sentence explains the start time of the action, but not the end time, the verb will be in the present perfect continuous tense.
Option B - Present perfect continuous tense requires 'been' to explain the continuation of the action from past till present. We can't use 'have travelling' as it is grammmatically incorrect. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Been travelling' is grammatically incorrect as without the auxiliary 'has/have'. Thus 'been travelling' can't describe the sentence in the present perfect continuous tense. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Had travelling' is grammatically incorrect as 'had' is used for past and not present. And, present perfect continuous tense requires 'has/have + been and the verb in the participle form.' Therefore, Option D is incorrect. 
Option A - 'Have been travelling' is used to describe the action of the sentence in the present perfect continuous tense. Hence option A is the correct answer.
'Ankit and his family have been travelling in Europe for three weeks.'

NOTE: As the sentence indicates time 'when', we can understand that - when an action was happening in the past, another action took place. Hence, we will use past continuous for the first clause and simple past for the second clause.
Option A - 'Was walking, was finding' are both used to represent past continuous tense. As we need simple past tense for the second clause, we can't use 'was finding' here. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C - 'Walked, found' are both used to represent the sentence in the simple past tense. As we need the first clause to be in the past continuous tense, we can't use 'walked' here. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option B - 'Was walking' explains that the action in the first action was continuing (past continuous tense) while the second happened. 'Found' explains that the action was completed (simple past tense). Thus option B is the correct answer.
'Rashmi was walking in the park when she found a wallet.'

The correct answer is D: "Shall help."
Explanation:
- The verb "comes" in the sentence indicates a future event.
- When talking about future events, we usually use "shall" or "will" to express willingness or intention.
- In this case, the correct form is "shall help" because it matches the subject "I" and agrees with the future tense indicated by "comes."
- Let's break down the options given:
- A: "Help" - This is the base form of the verb and is not suitable for the sentence as it does not match the subject or tense.
- B: "Helps" - This form is incorrect because it is in the present tense and does not match the future tense indicated by "comes."
- C: "Have helped" - This form is incorrect because it is in the present perfect tense and does not match the future tense indicated by "comes."
- D: "Shall help" - This is the correct form as it matches the subject "I" and agrees with the future tense indicated by "comes."
Therefore, the correct answer is D: "Shall help."

To determine the correct simple past or past continuous form of the verb, we need to analyze the sentence and understand the actions that took place.
The sentence states that "My uncle, who lives in New York _________ me a T-shirt but it _________ of the wrong size."
Let's break down the sentence and analyze the options:
1. Option A: "Sent, was being"
- "Sent" is the simple past form of the verb, which means it refers to a completed action in the past.
- "Was being" is the past continuous form of the verb, which indicates an ongoing action in the past.
2. Option B: "Was being, was sending"
- "Was being" is the past continuous form of the verb, indicating an ongoing action in the past.
- "Was sending" is also the past continuous form of the verb, indicating another ongoing action in the past.
3. Option C: "Sent, was"
- "Sent" is the simple past form of the verb, indicating a completed action in the past.
- "Was" is the past continuous form of the verb, indicating an ongoing action in the past.
4. Option D: "Was sending, was"
- "Was sending" is the past continuous form of the verb, indicating an ongoing action in the past.
- "Was" is also the past continuous form of the verb, indicating another ongoing action in the past.
Based on the context of the sentence, the correct answer is Option C: "Sent, was."
- This form indicates that the uncle completed the action of sending the T-shirt (simple past) and at the same time, the T-shirt was of the wrong size (past continuous).
In conclusion, the correct simple past or past continuous form of the verb in the given sentence is "Sent, was" (Option C).

NOTE: As the given sentences are facts, we can understand that the sentences will have information that is true and complete. Hence, we will use the present perfect tense to fill in the blank.
Option A - 'Is making' is used to describe the action in a sentence in the present continuous tense. As the director is not making films at the moment, we can't use 'is making' here. Thus option A is incorrect
Option B - 'Made' is the past form of the verb 'make'. As the sentence is in the present perfect tense, we can't use 'made' here. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Has been making' is used to describe the sentence in the present perfect continuous tense. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - The subject of the sentence 'he' is third person singular and hence we can use the auxiliary 'has' which is in the singular form. As the present perfect tense requires the verb to be in the past participle form, 'made' is correct. Thus option D is the correct answer.
'Steven Spielberg is a film director. He has made a lot of famous films.'

NOTE: The words 'today's test' explain that action is done already. Hence, we will fill in the blank with the simple past tense.
Option A - 'Was knowing' is used to define the sentence in the past continuous tense. We use the past continuous tense to explain the continuation of the action in the past. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C - 'Did know' is grammatically incorrect here, as 'did' is used to emphasise the action. Here, the sentence wants the verb to be in the past form without an auxiliary or a helping verb. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Known' is the past participle form of the verb 'know'. As we need the past form, we can't use 'known' here. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option B - 'Knew’ is the past form of 'know'. As the sentence requires the verb in simple past tense we can use ‘knew’ here. Hence option B is the correct answer.
'I knew all the answers in today's test.'

Actions which follow a habit or routine are described by the simple present tense. Example: The plane lands at one in the afternoon. Hence, the correct answer is option C.

The future perfect tense (will have left) has been used in the sentence given in alternative B. In alternative A, will leave is in the simple future tense. Hence, the correct answer is option B.

The sentence given in alternative B is incorrect. The correct sentence would be: They will have grown taller by the time I see them again. Hence, the correct answer is option B.
