Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    You are watching television

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "You are watching television" is a simple factual statement. If you are indeed watching television, then the answer would be true.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    I visited my grandmother  yesterday

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement states that "I visited my grandmother yesterday." Since the statement is in past tense and implies that the action of visiting the grandmother occurred in the past, the answer is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    We were good students

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "We were good students" implies that the speaker and possibly others were good students in the past. Since the answer is "True," it suggests that the statement is accurate and that the speaker and others were indeed good students.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    I am study English

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement "I am study English" is grammatically incorrect. The correct form should be "I am studying English." Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    She is buying a book yesterday

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given sentence "She is buying a book yesterday" is grammatically incorrect. The use of the present continuous tense "is buying" does not match with the past time adverb "yesterday." The correct form should be "She bought a book yesterday." Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    She were a teacher

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "She were a teacher" is grammatically incorrect. The correct form should be "She was a teacher." The verb "were" is used for plural subjects, while "was" is used for singular subjects. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Are she sleeping now?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The question is grammatically incorrect. The correct form should be "Is she sleeping now?" Since the subject "she" is singular, the correct form of the verb "to be" is "is" rather than "are." Therefore, the correct answer is "False."

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    She went to school

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement "She went to school" is a simple declarative sentence. It states that she (the subject) went to school (the action). Since there is no additional context provided, we can assume that the statement is true unless there is evidence to suggest otherwise. Therefore, the correct answer is True.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    I had a beautiful dress

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
