2. Simple past of "Listen"

Explanation

The simple past of "Listen" is "Listened". In English grammar, the simple past tense is used to describe an action that happened in the past and is no longer ongoing. In this case, "Listened" is the correct form of the verb to indicate that someone listened to something in the past.

Submit
3. Simple Past of "Study"

Explanation

The correct answer is "Studied" because it is the simple past tense form of the verb "study." In English, when we want to talk about an action that happened in the past and is now completed, we use the simple past tense. In this case, the action of studying has already been completed, so we use "studied" as the correct past tense form.

Submit
4. Simple Past Concept...

Explanation

The simple past tense is used to talk about actions or events that occurred and were completed in the past. It is used to describe past actions that have no connection to the present moment. This tense is commonly used to narrate stories or to discuss past experiences.

Submit
5. Simple past of "Stop"

Explanation

The simple past tense of the verb "stop" is "stopped." This is the correct answer because when forming the past tense of regular verbs in English, we typically add "-ed" to the base form of the verb. Therefore, "stopped" is the correct form of "stop" in the simple past tense.

Submit
6. Simple Present (Affirmative) My friend _________ English and Math.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Studies" because when using the simple present tense in the third person singular form (he/she/it), we add an -s to the base form of the verb. In this sentence, "my friend" refers to a third person singular subject, so we use "studies" instead of "study", "is study", or "are study".

Submit
7. Which are the Auxiliary verbs in Simple Present?

Explanation

The auxiliary verbs in Simple Present are "do" and "does." These verbs are used to form questions, negatives, and short answers in the present tense. "Do" is used with plural subjects and "does" is used with singular subjects. They are also used to emphasize or give extra meaning to the main verb in a sentence.

Submit
8. Simple Present (Affirmative) The students __________ very hard.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Work" because in the simple present tense, we use the base form of the verb (work) when the subject is a third-person singular noun or pronoun (such as "the students").

Submit
9. Simple Present (Negative) My parents___________ TV.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Don't watch." This is because when using the simple present tense in the negative form, we use "don't" or "doesn't" before the base form of the verb. In this case, "watch" is the base form of the verb, and since the subject is "my parents," we use "don't" to show that they do not engage in the action of watching TV.

Submit
10. Simple Present(Affirmative) Ann __________ milk.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Doesn't drink" because in the simple present tense, when the subject is a third person singular pronoun (he, she, it), we add "s" or "es" to the base form of the verb. In this case, "Ann" is the subject and "drink" is the base form of the verb. Since "Ann" is a third person singular pronoun, we need to add "s" to the verb, resulting in "doesn't drink".

Submit
11. Simple Past of "Ride"

Explanation

The correct answer is "Rode" because it is the simple past tense of the verb "ride." In English, the simple past tense is used to describe actions that happened in the past and are now completed. In this case, "rode" indicates that someone rode a bike, horse, or any other means of transportation in the past.

Submit
12. Simple Present Concept...

Explanation

The simple present tense is used to express routines, facts, habits, and general truths. This means that it is used to talk about actions or situations that happen regularly, such as daily routines or habitual actions. It is also used to state facts or general truths that are always true, regardless of the time. For example, "The sun rises in the east" is a general truth that is always true. Therefore, the simple present tense is used to express routines, facts, habits, and general truths.

Submit
13. Which is the Auxiliary Verb in Simple Past?

Explanation

The auxiliary verb in Simple Past is "did". This is because "did" is used to form questions and negative sentences in the Simple Past tense. It is used with the base form of the main verb to indicate past actions or events.

Submit
14. Simple Present (Affirmative) The dogs ________ in the garden.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Sleep". In the simple present tense, when talking about a general truth or a habitual action, we use the base form of the verb. Since "dogs" is plural, we use the base form "sleep" without any additional endings.

Submit
15. Simple Past of "Travel"

Explanation

"Travelled" is the correct answer for the simple past tense of the verb "travel". In English, regular verbs form their past tense by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb. Since "travel" is a regular verb, we add "-ed" to form the past tense. Therefore, "traveled" is the correct spelling for the simple past tense of "travel".
