A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. It is typically followed by a noun, which acts as the object of the preposition. For example, in the sentence "She walked to the park," the preposition "to" is followed by the noun "park." Therefore, the statement "A preposition is usually followed by a noun" is true.Rate this question:

The given statement is incorrect. The auxiliary verb "to do" is used in the present simple affirmative to form questions and negative sentences.

The word "people" is not always uncountable. While it is true that "people" is generally used as a plural noun, it can also be used in the singular form to refer to an individual or a group of individuals. For example, "There is a person in the room" or "These are the people I was talking about." Therefore, the statement that "people" is always uncountable is false.Rate this question:

The main verb and the direct object are not normally separated.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In English grammar, the main verb and the direct object are typically not separated. The direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb directly. It usually follows the main verb immediately or is connected to it by a linking verb. Separating the main verb and the direct object can lead to confusion or change the meaning of the sentence. Therefore, it is generally true that the main verb and the direct object are not normally separated.Rate this question:
