2. We ate an apple. We ...................... an apple.

Explanation

"Ate" is in the simple past tense, so the correct negative form is "did not eat." "Do not eat" is in the present tense, "was not eating" is in the past continuous tense, and "had not eaten" is in the past perfect tense, all of which are incorrect in this context.

Submit
3. The negative form of the sentence "Ram goes to school." is "Ram ............................ to school."

Explanation

In the simple present tense, the negative form is created by using "does not" (or "doesn't") followed by the base form of the verb. Here, the verb "goes" is in the simple present tense. To make it negative, we remove the "s" from "goes" and use "does not go." The other options, "is not going," "was not going," and "has not gone," are incorrect because they refer to the present continuous, past continuous, and present perfect tenses, respectively, which are not relevant to this question.

Submit
4. I have a car. I ................... a car.

Explanation

"Have" in the present tense becomes negative by adding "do not" (or "don’t") before it, resulting in "do not have." "Does not have" is incorrect because "does" is used with singular third-person subjects, not "I." "Did not have" is in the past tense, and "has not have" is grammatically incorrect.

Submit
5. They speak English. They ......................... English.

Explanation

The negative form of a simple present tense sentence for plural subjects (like "they") is formed by using "do not" (or "don’t") with the base form of the verb. Here, "speak" is in the present simple tense, and the negative form is "do not speak." "Do not speaks" is incorrect because "speaks" is not in its base form. "Did not speak" is in the past tense, and "has not spoken" is in the present perfect tense, which are both incorrect for this context.

Submit
6. We finished our work. We ....................... our work.

Explanation

For negative sentences in the simple past tense, we use "did not" (or "didn't") followed by the base form of the verb. The verb "finished" is in the past tense, so the correct negative form is "did not finish." "Did not finished" is incorrect because "finished" should be in its base form after "did not." "Do not finish" and "does not finish" are in the present tense, which are not suitable for a past tense statement.

Submit
7. Ram comes here. Ram ................. here.

Explanation

The verb "comes" is in the simple present tense. To form the negative, we use "does not" (or "doesn’t") with the base form "come." The option "Does not comes" is incorrect because "comes" must be in its base form "come." "Did not come" is in the past tense, and "has not come" is in the present perfect tense, both of which are incorrect for this simple present tense question.

Submit
8. My brother has a pen. My brother........................... a pen.

Explanation

For third-person singular subjects like "my brother," the negative form is "does not have." "Does not has" is incorrect as "has" must be in its base form "have." "Did not have" is in the past tense, and "do not has" is grammatically incorrect.

Submit
9. She had an apple. She ............................ an apple.

Explanation

"Had" is in the simple past tense. For the negative form, we use "did not" followed by the base form "have." "Does not had" and "did not has" are incorrect combinations, and "do not have" is present tense.

Submit
10. She gave me a book. She ............................ me a book. (Negative form)

Explanation

"Gave" is in the simple past tense, and the negative form in the past tense is made using "did not" followed by the base form of the verb, which is "give." Therefore, "did not give" is correct. "Did not gave" is incorrect because the verb after "did not" should be in its base form. "Does not give" is in the present tense, and "has not given" is in the present perfect tense.
