Class 4 English Grammar Questions and Answers
1.
What does the word 'haughty' mean?
A.
Humble
B.
Joyful
C.
Proud
D.
Tired
Correct Answer
C. Proud
Explanation "Haughty" describes someone who is arrogantly superior and disdainful, often displaying excessive pride. It contrasts with being humble, which means modest and unassuming. Although "proud" is the closest in meaning among the options, "haughty" carries a negative connotation of looking down on others. The other choices—joyful and tired—are unrelated to the meaning of "haughty."

What is the past tense of 'put'?
A.
Put
B.
Puted
C.
Putted
D.
Puts
Correct Answer
A. Put
Explanation The past tense of "put" is "put". This is the correct answer because "put" is an irregular verb, meaning it does not follow the typical pattern of adding "-ed" to form the past tense. Instead, the word remains the same in both present and past tense.

Fill in the blanks-
I eat _____ apple every morning.
A.
A
B.
An
C.

D.

Correct Answer
B. An
Explanation The correct answer is "An" because the word "apple" begins with a vowel sound, specifically the sound of the letter "A". In English, we use "an" before words that start with vowel sounds, and "a" before words that start with consonant sounds. Since "apple" starts with a vowel sound, we use "an" in this sentence.
