    Select the correct form of verb for past tense of "Work " - ProProfs

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

    • Workt

    • Worked

    • Workied

    • Wourked

    Correct Answer
    A. Worked
    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.

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

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

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Select the correct form of verb for past tense of " Read"

    • Read

    • Readed

    • Road

    • Reat

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 
    What did Emilia have for breakfast? - ProProfs

    What did Emilia have for breakfast?

    • She had one sandwich for breakfast.

    • She have one sandwich for breakfast.

    • She haved one sandwich for breakfast.

    Correct Answer
    A. She had one sandwich 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.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 
    Select the correct form of verb for the past tense of "buy " - ProProfs

    Select the correct form of verb for the past tense of "buy "

    • Buyed

    • Buyied

    • Bought

    • Boughted

    Correct Answer
    A. Bought
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 
    Did your family stay at home in quarantine? (Regular verb) - ProProfs

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

    • Yes, my family staied at home in quarantine.

    • Yes, My family stayed at home in quarantine.

    • Yes, my family stayd at home in quarantine.

    • Yes, my family stayied at home in quarantine.

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes, My family stayed at home in quarantine.
    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."

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 
    Select the correct form of verb for past tense of " Speak" - ProProfs

    Select the correct form of verb for past tense of " Speak"

    • Speak

    • Speaked

    • Spoke

    • Spoked

    Correct Answer
    A. Spoke
    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."

    Rate this question:

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

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

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 10.

    Is this sentence Grammarly correct? " Did I played baseball yesterday? - ProProfs

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

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    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?"

    Correct Answer
    A. No, they didn't understand the situation.

    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."
