Question

Q Use the correct form of verb given in the brackets:

i) Naman_______(play) mobile games daily.
ii) Sita is ________(sing) a song

iii) Rohan did not________(complete) his homework.​

Answer 1

i) Naman plays mobile games daily.

ii) Sita is singing a song.  

iii) Rohan did not complete his homework.​

• In ''subject-verb'' agreement, subjects and verbs must agree with one another.

• If the subject is singular then the verb is also singular whereas if the subject is plural then the verb is also plural.

• In the first sentence, ''Naman plays mobile games daily.'', the noun ''Naman'' is singular so add ''s'' to the verb. hence, the correct sentence will be ''Naman plays mobile games daily."

• In the second sentence, ''Sita is singing a song''', the helping verb ''is'' is in the ''be'' form, so use the main verb in present continuous form.

• In the third sentence, ''Rohan did not complete his homework.​'', ''did not'' is used in a negative form and the main verb is in a present form.

Answer 2

Answer:

i) Naman plays mobile games daily.

• It is an example of Simple Present Tense.

• 'Naman' is a third person singular number, that's why 's' has been added after main verb 'play' ( play + s ) 'plays'.

ii) Sita is singing a song

• It is an example of Present Continuous Tense.

• Helping verb 'is' and 'ing' after main verb 'sing' ( sing + ing ) 'singing' assure it.

iii) Rohan did not complete his homework.

• 'Complete' is present form of verb, so the above sentence is an example of Simple Past Tense. It is also a negative sentence.
