2. Select the correct form of verb for past tense of "Work "

Explanation

The correct form of the past tense of "Work" is "Worked". This is the correct answer because when forming the past tense of regular verbs in English, we usually add "-ed" to the base form of the verb. In this case, "Work" becomes "Worked" in the past tense. The other options, "Workt", "Workied", and "Wourked", do not follow the regular pattern for forming the past tense of verbs and are therefore incorrect.

Submit
3. Is this sentence Grammarly correct? " Juan and Carlos forgot to tell me that thing last night".

Explanation

The sentence "Juan and Carlos forgot to tell me that thing last night" is grammatically correct. It follows the subject-verb agreement, uses the correct tense, and includes all necessary elements.

Submit
4. Select the correct form of verb for past tense of " Read"

Explanation

The correct form of the verb for the past tense of "Read" is "Read." This is because "Read" is an irregular verb, meaning it does not follow the typical pattern of adding "-ed" to form the past tense. Instead, the past tense of "Read" remains the same as the present tense.

Submit
5. What did Emilia have for breakfast?

Explanation

The correct answer is "She had one sandwich for breakfast." This sentence is in the past tense and uses the correct verb form "had" to indicate that Emilia ate a sandwich for breakfast. The other options "She have" and "She haved" are grammatically incorrect as they do not match the subject-verb agreement in the sentence.

Submit
6. Select the correct form of verb for the past tense of "buy "

Explanation

The correct past tense form of the verb "buy" is "bought." This is the standard past tense form of the verb and is used to indicate that the action of buying has already occurred in the past. "Buyed" and "buyied" are incorrect forms of the verb and do not follow the regular conjugation pattern. "Boughted" is also incorrect as the "-ed" suffix is not added to the verb "buy" to form its past tense.

Submit
7. Did your family stay at home in quarantine? (Regular verb)

Explanation

The correct answer is "Yes, My family stayed at home in quarantine." The verb "stay" is a regular verb, and in the past tense, it is conjugated as "stayed." Therefore, the correct form of the verb to use in this sentence is "stayed," not "staied," "stayd," or "stayied."

Submit
8. Select the correct form of verb for past tense of " Speak"

Explanation

"Spoke" is the correct form of the past tense for the verb "speak." In English, regular verbs typically form their past tense by adding "-ed" at the end, but "speak" is an irregular verb and follows its own pattern. The past tense of "speak" is "spoke."

Submit
9. Is this sentence grammarly correct? "I didn't read the letter a minute ago."

Explanation

The sentence "I didn't read the letter a minute ago" is grammatically correct. It follows the correct structure of a negative past tense sentence with the auxiliary verb "didn't" and the main verb "read." The phrase "a minute ago" indicates a specific time in the past, further supporting the correct usage of past tense.

Submit
10. Is this sentence grammarly correct? "You come to study english last week"

Explanation

The given sentence "You come to study english last week" is not grammatically correct. The correct form should be "You came to study English last week" as it follows the correct verb tense and capitalization rules.

Submit
11. Is this sentence Grammarly correct? " Did I played baseball yesterday?

Explanation

The sentence "Did I played baseball yesterday?" is not grammatically correct. The verb "played" should be in the base form "play" after the auxiliary verb "did" in a question. Therefore, the correct form of the sentence should be "Did I play baseball yesterday?"

Submit
12. Did those people understand the situation?

Explanation

The correct answer is "No, they didn't understand the situation." This is because the verb "understand" is in the past tense, and the correct past tense form is "understood." The other options ("understanded," "understooded," and "understandied") are not valid past tense forms of the verb "understand."

Submit
13. When did you travel to Africa?

Explanation

The correct answer is "I travelled to Africa last year." The verb "travelled" is the correct past tense form of the verb "travel" in British English. The other options are incorrect because they either have spelling errors or use the wrong verb form.

Submit
14. Did she transfer money to my bank account yesterday?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Yes, she transferred money to your bank account yesterday." This is the correct answer because it uses the correct past tense form of the verb "transfer." The word "transferred" is the correct past tense form, while the other options contain incorrect spellings or verb forms.

Submit
