Test: Verb - Year 9 MCQ

A transitive verb is a verb that requires an object to complete its meaning. In this case, "eat" is a transitive verb as it requires an object to complete its meaning, such as "I eat pizza" or "She eats vegetables".

The past tense of "do" is "did", making it the correct verb tense for this sentence. The sentence would read, "She did her homework yesterday."

The helping verb in this sentence is "be". It is used to create the future continuous tense by combining with "will" and "studying". The sentence would read, "I will be studying for my exam all night."

Regular verbs in the past tense are formed by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb. In this case, "walked" is the past tense of the base verb "walk", making it a regular verb.

The correct verb form to use with the third-person singular subject "she" is "is". The sentence would read, "She is always late for class."

The intransitive verb in the given list is "Cry."

An intransitive verb is a verb that does not take a direct object, which means that it only has a subject and does not require an action to be done to something or someone else. Intransitive verbs express an action that the subject does on its own or a state of being.

Now, let's look at the verbs in the list:

1. Sing - can be both transitive and intransitive, depending on the context (e.g., "She sings" vs. "She sings a song").
2. Dance - can be both transitive and intransitive, depending on the context (e.g., "He dances" vs. "He dances a waltz").
3. Cry - intransitive, as it does not take a direct object (e.g., "The baby cries").
4. Cook - transitive, as it usually takes a direct object (e.g., "She cooks dinner").

In this list, "Cry" is the intransitive verb because it does not require a direct object and only has a subject. When someone cries, they are not doing the action to someone or something else; they are simply expressing emotion.

A linking verb is a verb that connects the subject of a sentence with a word that describes or identifies it. In this case, "smells" is the linking verb that connects the subject "cake" with the adjective "delicious".

The correct verb tense to use with the subject "they" in this sentence is the simple present tense, which is "go". The sentence would read, "They go to the park every Sunday."

Irregular verbs in the past tense do not follow the "-ed" rule and have their own unique past tense form.

The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action. In this sentence, the action of studying (had studied) was completed before the action of taking the exam. Option a) uses the present tense, option b) uses the future tense, and option d) uses the present continuous tense to describe a future action.
