Test: Tenses- 2 - Class 8 MCQ

The statement mentions a specific time in the future when a particular event is likely to happen. So, the correct tense of the verb is the SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE. Hence, it will take the form: will + base form of the verb.

Here, 'will study' in simple future tense is correct because it is used to indicate an action that has not taken place as yet. Here, 'will study' is an action that has not taken place as yet. 
'Am studying' in present continuous is incorrect because it implies an action going on at the time of speaking.
'Was studying' in past continuous is incorrect because it is used to indicate uncompleted action in the past (with or without time reference).
Usage of 'study' in this sentence is grammatically incorrect.

The action of knowing is actively going on in the present, but it started some time in the past. To show that an action started in the past and still continues in the present, we use the Present Perfect tense. The correct answer is 'have known'. 

The sentence has two parts. The second part i.e 'as all the cheques in the old book are used up' indicates a present situation. Therefore, we need to use the simple present tense form of the verb 'have' to maintain tense throughout.  So, the correct answer is option A) has. The other options are not in simple present tense and so cannot be used.

We know the tense of the given sentence by the phrase "it started raining" which is in simple past tense, hence the phrase that fills the blank should also be in simple past tense. Option B is hence correct, as 'got' is in the simple past tense. Option A is incorrect because 'get' is in the present tense, and the sentence is in the past tense. Option C is incorrect because "will have gotten" is in the future perfect tense, whereas the sentence is in the past. Option D is incorrect because "had gotten" is in the past perfect tense, if we use this we'd have to change the phrase "it started" to "it had started", they both need to be of the same tense, 'as soon as' means that both the actions happened at the same time. So, both the tense verbs ('got' and 'started') must be in simple past tense.

From the sentence, we can infer that it is a future tense sentence. This is because of the phrase 'next month' which indicates that the action will happen in the future.
Option A) 'will be celebrated' is in simple future tense which refers to an action completed in the future. However, the sentence states that 'Vishal' will be celebrated, which means that Vishal is the one who is being celebrated. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option B) 'will have been celebrating' is future perfect continuous tense.
Option D) 'celebrate' is a verb in the present tense.
Option C) 'will be celebrating' is in future continuous tense and completes the sentence appropriately.
So, the correct answer is option C) will be celebrating.

The given context refers to a decision that has already been made at the time of speaking. This indicates an action that began in the past and has continued till the present as Jane has apparently just made the decision and has not started a job as yet. Thus, present perfect tense will be used. 
Option A "has decided" is correct as it is written as S + has/have + V3 + O. So, 'has decided' is the correct choice.
Option B 'is thinking' is incorrect as 'is thinking' is followed by 'of looking for a job'. 
Option C is incorrect as 'had better' is not followed by the preposition 'to'. It would just be 'had better look for a job'.
Option D is incorrect as 'made him' is also not followed by the preposition 'to' and would be written as 
made him look for a job'.
Thus, only option A is the correct answer.

The given sentence is in simple past form as can be inferred from the word 'moved'. Therefore the accompanying verb in the sentence 'sit' should also be in its simple past form which is 'sat'. Therefore options B, C and D are incorrect.
Whereas other options are not in simple past form, therefore, are incorrect. Option A is the correct answer.

The sentence clearly indicates a situation which is in the present tense. This is evident from the word 'comes' which is in the simple present tense.
The sentence also talks about something that will happen shortly. Option A) should have informed is in the past tense and the word 'should' makes it obligatory which is incorrect in the given context. Option B) had informed is in the past perfect tense and is also incorrect. Option C) is in the simple past tense and is incorrect as well. So, the correct option is option D) as it is consistent the tense of verb 'comes' 

'Right now' in the sentence indicates that the activity referred in the sentence has started and is still continuing, therefore the tense used for the verb should be in present continuous.
Option C is in the correct form of present continuous tense,
Whereas other options are not in present continuous form, therefore are incorrect. 'Plays' is used with third person singular and plural forms, whereas 'play' is used with First and Second person forms. While 'would' is used to convey sentences in subjunctive mood. Therefore options A, B and D are incorrect.

The structure of the verb in the sentence is 'will have + third form of the verb' so it is a statement in the Future Perfect Tense.
The structure of present perfect tense is (Have/has + third form of the verb), hence option 'A' is incorrect as per the given question.
The structure of future continuous tense is 'Will/shall + be + verb+ing', hence option 'C' is incorrect as per the given question.
The structure of future perfect continuous tense is 'Will/shall + have + been verb+ing', hence option 'D' is incorrect as per the given question.
The correct answer is option 'B'

In which tense are 'is, am, are' used as helping verbs (Active Voice)?
The correct answer is Present Continuous.
Explanation:
- The helping verbs 'is, am, are' are used in the Present Continuous tense to form sentences in the active voice.
- The Present Continuous tense is used to describe actions that are happening at the moment of speaking or temporary situations.
- In the active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action expressed by the main verb.
- The structure of a sentence in the Present Continuous tense with 'is, am, are' as helping verbs is subject + helping verb + present participle (-ing form of the main verb).
- Examples:
- I am eating dinner. (subject: I, helping verb: am)
- She is singing a song. (subject: She, helping verb: is)
- They are playing football. (subject: They, helping verb: are)
- It is important to note that 'is' is used with singular subjects (he, she, it) while 'am' and 'are' are used with plural subjects (I, you, we, they).
Therefore, the correct answer is Present Continuous.

Simple Future Tense is used to express an action that will occur or happen in the future. The simple future tense refers to a time later than now and expresses facts or certainty.
The blank requires a similar sort of verb as it describes something that is about to happen in the future relative to the speaker. 
The formula for the simple future is 
will + [root form of verb]
The other way to show it is:
[am/is/are] + going to + [root form verb]
Option C matches with the formula (in bold), where "teach" plays the role of the root verb. 
Option C is correct

Brian looks very different now. When you see him again, you _will not recognize  (not/recognize) him.

The simple future is a verb tense that’s used to talk about things that haven’t happened yet, here, gifting Ann a present. We use the simple future to talk about an action or condition that will begin and end in the future. The formula for the simple future is shall/will + [root form of verb], that is, shall gift. Hence, Option C is correct.
The rest of the options do not express this condition.
Option A does not ask for advice, but asks to be told what to gift. The situation calls for advice, and 'shall' expresses it.
Option B states an action already happened and D states a continuous action in the present.
Hence these options are incorrect.
