Q1  20
Q1 20

Question 1: She ___ a cat.

Question 1 options
'has' is correct because the subject 'she' requires the third-person singular form of 'have' in the present simple. 'have' is the base form used with I/you/we/they. 'haves' is not a real English word. 'having' is the -ing form and does not fit this simple sentence structure.
Q2 20

Question 2: They ___ happy.

Question 2 options
'are' is correct because the subject 'they' takes the plural form of the verb 'be.' 'is' is used with he/she/it. 'am' is used only with 'I.' 'be' is the base form and cannot stand alone as a main verb in a present-tense statement.
Q3 20

Question 3: I ___ to school every day.

Question 3 options
'go' is correct because the subject 'I' takes the base form of the verb in the present simple. 'Goes' would be used with he/she/it.
Q4 20

Question 4: He ___ football yesterday.

Question 4 options
'played' is correct because 'yesterday' signals past simple tense. Regular verbs form the past simple by adding -ed. 'plays' is present simple. 'play' is the base form. 'playing' is the present participle and needs an auxiliary verb.
Q5 20

Question 5: We ___ dinner right now.

Question 5 options
'are cooking' is correct because 'right now' indicates an action in progress, which requires the present continuous (be + -ing). 'cook' and 'cooks' are present simple forms. 'cooked' is past simple.
Q6 20

Question 6: In English, the verb 'go' is a regular verb that forms its past tense as 'goed.'

Question 6 options
False because 'go' is an irregular verb. Its past simple form is 'went,' not 'goed.'
Q7 20

Question 7: She ___ her keys last week.

Question 7 options
'lost' is correct because 'lose' is an irregular verb and its past simple form is 'lost.' 'Losed' is not a valid English word. 'Loses' is present simple third person. 'Losing' is the present participle.
Q8 20

Question 8: I enjoy ___ books in the evening.

Question 8 options
'reading' is correct because the verb 'enjoy' is followed by a gerund (-ing form). 'To read' is an infinitive and does not follow 'enjoy.' 'Read' is the base form. 'Reads' is third-person present simple.
Q9 20

Question 9: Match each verb with its correct type.

Question 9 options
run
seem
can
have (in 'have eaten')
Action verb
Modal verb
Linking verb
Auxiliary verb

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

'Run' is an action verb describing physical activity. 'Seem' is a linking verb connecting the subject to a description. 'Can' is a modal verb expressing ability. 'Have eaten' contains an auxiliary verb 'have' forming the present perfect.
Q10 20

Question 10: She decided ___ a new language this year.

Question 10 options
'to learn' is correct because the verb 'decide' is followed by the to-infinitive. 'Learning' (gerund) does not follow 'decide.' 'Learn' is the bare infinitive. 'Learned' is the past form.
Q11 20

Question 11: By the time we arrived, the concert ___.

Question 11 options
'had started' is correct because the past perfect is used for an action completed before another past action. 'Has started' is present perfect. 'Started' would not clearly show the earlier action. 'Was starting' implies the concert was in progress, not already finished.
Q12 20

Question 12: This cake ___ by my grandmother.

Question 12 options
'was made' is correct because the sentence is in the passive voice (the subject 'cake' receives the action). The passive is formed with be + past participle.
Q13 20

Question 13: You ___ wear a seatbelt in the car. It's the law.

Question 13 options
'must' is correct because the sentence refers to a legal obligation. 'Might' expresses possibility, not obligation. 'Could' expresses ability or possibility. 'Would' expresses willingness or hypothetical situations.
Q14 20

Question 14: A transitive verb requires a direct object to complete its meaning.

Question 14 options
True because transitive verbs need a direct object. For example, in 'She bought a book,' 'bought' is transitive and 'a book' is the direct object.
Q15 20

Question 15: If I ___ more time, I would travel around the world.

Question 15 options
'had' is correct because the second conditional uses 'if + past simple' to describe an unreal or hypothetical present situation. 'Have' would be used in a first conditional (real possibility). 'Would have' belongs to the third conditional. 'Will have' is a future form and does not fit this hypothetical structure.
Q16 20

Question 16: The teacher made the students ___ the essay again.

Question 16 options
'rewrite' is correct because the causative verb 'make' is followed by an object + bare infinitive (without 'to'). 'To rewrite' would be used with 'force' or 'ask.' 'Rewriting' is the gerund form. 'Rewrote' is the past simple form and does not fit this structure.
Q17 20

Question 17: Put these words in the correct order to form a present perfect sentence:

Question 17 options
  • She has
  • finished
  • her homework
  • already

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'She has already finished her homework' because present perfect uses subject + has/have + (adverb) + past participle + object.
Q18 20

Question 18: I wish I ___ harder for the exam last month.

Question 18 options
'had studied' is correct because 'wish' + past perfect expresses regret about a past event that cannot be changed. 'Studied' (past simple) is used with 'wish' for unreal present situations. 'Would study' expresses willingness. 'Have studied' is present perfect and does not fit a wish about the past.
Q19 20

Question 19: She ___ in London for five years before she moved to Paris.

Question 19 options
'had been living' is correct because the past perfect continuous describes a duration of activity that continued up to another past event. 'Has been living' is present perfect continuous. 'Is living' is present continuous. 'Was lived' is an incorrect passive form.
Q20 20

Question 20: The report is believed ___ been falsified by someone in the department.

Question 20 options
'to have' is correct because after passive reporting verbs (is believed, is thought, is said), we use 'to have + past participle' to refer to a completed action.
