English Grammar Quiz For Class 7 - Quiz

  • 2. 

    _____! The street is slippery.

    • Be careful

    • Be quiet

    • Be nice

    • Be diligent

    Correct Answer
    A. Be careful
    Explanation
    "Be careful" is the appropriate response when warning someone about a slippery street. It advises caution to prevent slipping and falling. The other options, such as "Be quiet," "Be nice," and "Be diligent," do not fit the context of a warning about a hazardous condition. "Be quiet" suggests reducing noise, "Be nice" encourages kindness, and "Be diligent" suggests careful and persistent work. Therefore, "Be careful" correctly matches the warning context of the slippery street, making it the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    My sister ___________ watching television. 

    • Is

    • Are

    • Were

    • Have

    Correct Answer
    A. Is
    Explanation
    The correct verb form here is "is," which is the present tense of the verb "to be" used with singular subjects like "my sister." The sentence structure "is watching" indicates a present continuous action. "Are" is used with plural subjects, "were" is the past tense and used with plural subjects or formal singular, and "have" is a present tense auxiliary verb used with plural subjects or with "I/you/we/they." Therefore, "is" correctly fits the sentence, indicating that the sister is currently watching television.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    My mother ____________ fried rice last night.

    • Cooked

    • Cooking

    • Baking

    • Cook

    Correct Answer
    A. Cooked
    Explanation
    The correct verb form here is "cooked," which is the past tense of "cook," fitting the context of an action that took place in the past ("last night"). "Cooking" is the present participle and does not fit this past tense context. "Baking" refers to cooking food in an oven, which is not appropriate here as the action described is frying. "Cook" is the base form of the verb and does not fit the sentence's past tense context. Therefore, "cooked" is the correct choice to complete the sentence accurately.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    My father is a surgeon. He works in a _____.

    • Bank

    • Hospital

    • Post office

    • Museum

    Correct Answer
    A. Hospital
    Explanation
    A surgeon is a medical doctor who performs operations. Therefore, the correct workplace for a surgeon is a hospital. Hospitals are healthcare institutions where surgeries and other medical treatments are conducted. The other options, such as a bank, post office, and museum, are unrelated to medical professions. Banks deal with financial transactions, post offices handle mail, and museums display artifacts and exhibits. Thus, the appropriate workplace for a surgeon, considering their role and duties, is a hospital.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Don't _____ an apple without asking me.

    • Fill

    • Filled

    • Eat

    • Ate

    Correct Answer
    A. Eat
    Explanation
    The correct verb here is "eat," which is the base form used in the imperative sentence "Don't eat an apple without asking me." "Fill" and "filled" refer to putting something into a container, which does not fit the context of consuming an apple. "Ate" is the past tense of "eat," which is not appropriate in this imperative construction. Therefore, "eat" correctly fits the sentence, indicating the action that should not be taken without permission.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Select the correct preposition: "The book is lying _____ the table."

    • On

    • In

    • At

    • Under

    Correct Answer
    A. On
    Explanation
    "On" is the correct preposition in the sentence "The book is lying on the table" because it indicates the position of an object resting on a surface. Prepositions establish relationships between nouns and other words, clarifying location, direction, or time. "In" suggests being inside something (e.g., "in the box"), "at" refers to a specific point (e.g., "at the door"), and "under" means beneath something. Choosing the correct preposition is crucial in avoiding ambiguity. Misusing prepositions can alter the intended meaning of a sentence, making it unclear or grammatically incorrect in standard English usage.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Choose the correct relative pronoun: "This is the book _____ I borrowed from the library."

    • Who

    • Whose

    • Which

    • Whom

    Correct Answer
    A. Which
    Explanation
    The relative pronoun "which" is used to refer to objects and things. In the sentence "This is the book which I borrowed from the library," "which" connects the noun "book" to the clause "I borrowed from the library," providing essential information about the book. "Who" is used for people, "whose" indicates possession, and "whom" is used as an object of a verb or preposition when referring to people. Since we are referring to an object (the book), "which" is the correct choice. Relative pronouns help in forming complex sentences by linking clauses logically.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Identify the correct conjunction: "I was hungry, _____ I ate a sandwich."

    • But

    • So

    • Or

    • Because

    Correct Answer
    A. So
    Explanation
    "So" is the correct conjunction in "I was hungry, so I ate a sandwich." because it shows a cause-and-effect relationship. The sentence explains that the speaker ate because they were hungry. "But" is used to contrast ideas, "or" presents alternatives, and "because" introduces a reason rather than an effect. Conjunctions help in linking ideas smoothly, making sentences coherent. Choosing the right conjunction ensures clarity and logical flow in communication. Understanding different conjunctions and their functions is important in constructing meaningful and grammatically correct sentences in both written and spoken English.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    I usually ________ the television in the evening.

    • See

    • Watch

    • Saw

    • Sees

    Correct Answer
    A. Watch
    Explanation
    The correct verb here is "watch," which is used to describe the action of viewing television. The word "usually" indicates a habitual action, so the present simple tense "watch" is appropriate. "See" generally means to perceive with the eyes and is not specific to viewing TV. "Saw" is the past tense of "see" and does not fit the habitual context. "Sees" is the present tense form used with third-person singular subjects. Therefore, "watch" is the correct choice for this sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Can you ____ this work before twelve o’clock? 

    • Started

    • Finish

    • Ended

    • Finished

    Correct Answer
    A. Finish
    Explanation
    The correct verb form here is "finish," which fits the structure of the question "Can you finish this work before twelve o’clock?" "Started" and "ended" are past tense forms and do not fit the context of a question about future capability. "Finished" is the past participle and does not fit the context either. Therefore, "finish" is the appropriate choice, indicating the completion of work within the specified time frame.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    We have to _____ this now.

    • Did

    • Done

    • Have done

    • Do

    Correct Answer
    A. Do
    Explanation
    The correct verb form here is "do," which fits the infinitive structure "We have to do this now." "Did" is the past tense of "do" and is not appropriate in this context. "Done" is the past participle of "do" and also does not fit here. "Have done" is the present perfect tense and is not suitable in this sentence structure. Therefore, "do" is the correct choice, indicating the action that needs to be performed immediately.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which sentence is in the past perfect tense?

    • She will finish her work soon.

    • He had left before I arrived.

    • They are playing outside.

    • I am reading a book.

    Correct Answer
    A. He had left before I arrived.
    Explanation
    The past perfect tense is used to describe an action completed before another past action. In the sentence "He had left before I arrived," "had left" is in the past perfect form because it occurred before "arrived," which is in the simple past. The past perfect is formed using "had" followed by the past participle of the verb. This tense is essential in showing a clear sequence of past events. The other options do not follow this structure. "She will finish her work soon" is future tense, "They are playing outside" is present continuous, and "I am reading a book" is also present continuous.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    I  _________ football yesterday.

    • Play

    • Played

    • Had played

    • Plays

    Correct Answer
    A. Played
    Explanation
    The correct verb form here is "played," which is the past tense of "play" and fits the context of an action that took place in the past ("yesterday"). "Play" is the base form and does not indicate past tense. "Had played" is the past perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action, but it is unnecessary here. "Plays" is the present tense form used with third-person singular subjects. Therefore, "played" is the appropriate choice to complete the sentence correctly.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    What type of sentence is this? "How amazing this place is!"

    • Declarative

    • Imperative

    • Exclamatory

    • Interrogative

    Correct Answer
    A. Exclamatory
    Explanation
    "How amazing this place is!" is an exclamatory sentence because it expresses strong emotion or excitement. Exclamatory sentences often start with words like "How" or "What" and end with an exclamation mark. The structure usually inverts the subject-verb order for emphasis. The incorrect options categorize the sentence wrongly: declarative sentences state facts, imperative sentences give commands, and interrogative sentences ask questions. Understanding exclamatory sentences is important in distinguishing sentence types, which helps in effective communication and proper punctuation usage in writing. Identifying sentence structures also aids in forming grammatically correct expressions of thoughts and emotions.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    The river _____ very fast.

    • Flow

    • Flew

    • Flows

    • Fly

    Correct Answer
    A. Flows
    Explanation
    The correct verb form here is "flows," which is the present tense of "flow" used for third-person singular subjects like "the river." "Flow" is the base form of the verb and is not correct in this context. "Flew" is the past tense of "fly," which means to move through the air, and is not relevant here. "Fly" is the base form of the verb for flying. Therefore, "flows" is the appropriate choice to describe the continuous movement of the river's water.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Which word is an adverb in this sentence? "She sings beautifully."

    • She

    • Sings

    • Beautifully

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Beautifully
    Explanation
    In the sentence "She sings beautifully," "beautifully" is an adverb because it describes how she sings. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, often answering questions like "how," "when," "where," or "to what extent." The word "sings" is a verb, and "beautifully" modifies it by indicating the manner of singing. "She" is a pronoun, and "sings" is a verb, but neither functions as an adverb. "None" is incorrect because there is indeed an adverb present. Recognizing adverbs is essential in understanding sentence structure and meaning, as they add detail and precision to descriptions in both spoken and written language.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Dede has an uncle. The son of his uncle is his _____.

    • Father

    • Nephew

    • Grandfather

    • Cousin

    Correct Answer
    A. Cousin
    Explanation
    The son of Dede's uncle is Dede's cousin. In family relationships, an uncle's children are referred to as cousins. The other options, such as father, nephew, and grandfather, describe different familial relationships. A father is a male parent, a nephew is the son of a sibling, and a grandfather is the father of one's parent. In this case, "cousin" accurately describes the relationship between Dede and the son of his uncle, making it the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Make sure you _____ him.

    • Caught

    • Catch

    • Catching

    • Has caught

    Correct Answer
    A. Catch
    Explanation
    The correct verb form here is "catch," which fits the imperative structure "Make sure you catch him." "Caught" is the past tense of "catch" and does not fit the context of giving instructions or advice. "Catching" is the present participle and is not suitable here. "Has caught" is the present perfect tense, which also does not fit the imperative context. Therefore, "catch" is the appropriate choice to complete the sentence correctly, indicating the action that should be ensured.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    _____! The street is slippery.

    • Pounced

    • Pounce

    • Pierce

    • Pierced

    Correct Answer
    A. Pounced
    Explanation
    The correct verb form here is "pounced," which is the past tense of "pounce." The sentence describes an action that happened in the past, so the past tense is needed. "Pounce" is the base form and does not fit the past tense context. "Pierce" and "pierced" describe a different action (to make a hole through something), which does not fit the context of a tiger attack. Therefore, "pounced" is the correct answer as it accurately describes the tiger's sudden leap and attack in the past.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Identify the correct sentence:

    • She don’t like coffee.

    • He doesn’t enjoys swimming.

    • They doesn't play soccer.

    • She doesn’t like coffee.

    Correct Answer
    A. She doesn’t like coffee.
    Explanation
    "She doesn’t like coffee." is the correct sentence because "doesn’t" is the correct contraction of "does not," which should be used with singular subjects like "she." The incorrect options misuse "doesn't" or "don’t" with the wrong subjects. "She don’t like coffee" is incorrect because "don’t" is used with plural subjects, while "she" is singular. "He doesn’t enjoys swimming" is incorrect because "enjoys" should be in its base form after "doesn’t." "They doesn't play soccer" is wrong because "they" is plural, and "doesn't" should be "don't." This question tests subject-verb agreement and proper negation in sentences.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    What is the superlative form of "good"?

    • Gooder

    • Better

    • Best

    • More good

    Correct Answer
    A. Best
    Explanation
    "Best" is the superlative form of "good." In English, irregular adjectives like "good" change their comparative and superlative forms in unique ways: "good" (positive), "better" (comparative), and "best" (superlative). The superlative is used when comparing more than two things, indicating the highest degree of a quality. "Gooder" is incorrect because "good" does not follow the standard "-er/-est" pattern. "Better" is the comparative form, used for comparing two things. "More good" is grammatically incorrect because "good" does not use "more" to form its comparative or superlative degree.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    Which of the following is a compound sentence?

    • She ran because she was late.

    • The sun was shining, and the birds were singing.

    • Although he was tired, he kept working.

    • She walked through the park.

    Correct Answer
    A. The sun was shining, and the birds were singing.
    Explanation
    "The sun was shining, and the birds were singing." is a compound sentence because it consists of two independent clauses joined by the coordinating conjunction "and." Each clause has a subject ("The sun" and "The birds") and a verb ("was shining" and "were singing"), making them independent. Compound sentences use conjunctions like "and," "but," "or," and "so" to connect clauses of equal importance. The other sentences are not compound: "She ran because she was late" is a complex sentence, "Although he was tired, he kept working" is also complex, and "She walked through the park" is a simple sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    My father’s mother is my _____.

    • Grandfather

    • Grandmother

    • Mother

    • Aunt

    Correct Answer
    A. Grandmother
    Explanation
    My father's mother is my grandmother. In family relationships, the mother of your father is your grandmother. The other options, such as grandfather, mother, and aunt, describe different familial relationships. A grandfather is the father of your parent, a mother is your female parent, and an aunt is your parent's sister. Therefore, the correct term for your father's mother is "grandmother," making it the accurate choice in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    Choose the correct indirect speech: He said, "I am tired."

    • He said he is tired.

    • He said he was tired.

    • He said he will be tired.

    • He said that I am tired.

    Correct Answer
    A. He said he was tired.
    Explanation
    "He said he was tired." is the correct transformation of direct speech into indirect speech. In reported speech, the verb tense typically shifts back one step in time: "am" (present) becomes "was" (past). "He said he is tired" is incorrect because the tense remains in the present, failing to follow the backshift rule. "He said he will be tired" incorrectly uses "will," which is future tense. "He said that I am tired" changes the subject, altering the meaning. Understanding reported speech rules is essential for accurate narration of statements while maintaining grammatical correctness and logical consistency in communication.
