Question

he got bad marks becauce he _______ (not/study) hard​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation: study

Answer 2

Answer:

• Appropriate answer for the blank space is : 'did not study'. Because 'did not study' completes the meaning of the sentence.

• So the complete sentence is : He got bad marks becauce he did not study hard.

• Now the given sentence has turned into an example of Past Indefinite Tense. Because 'did' is an auxiliary verb of Simple Past sentence. In Past Indefinite Tense main verb's present form or base form is always used.

• Again the sentence is an example of Negative Sentence because 'not' in the sentence is acting as a Negative Maker.
