Verbs 02 - Variations of the Verb 'To Be'
In the previous quiz we learnt that Verbs are ‘action’ words or ‘doing’ words and they can be of different types and classifications. In this quiz we study just one verb - 'to be'.
Look at the followings sentences:
‘Since it IS a holiday today I AM going to watch a movie at the theatre.’
‘Since it WAS a holiday yesterday I WAS watching a movie at the theatre.’
‘Since it IS a holiday today they ARE going to watch a movie at the theatre.’
‘Since it WAS a holiday yesterday they WERE watching a movie at the theatre.’

"This book --- mine."
"This book --- mine."
Is not
Are not
Were not
Am not
The words 'This' and 'Mine' signify singular a object and subject and hence we need to use 'Is'. 'Am' is associated only with 'I' and not 'Mine'

Fill up the blanks in the following sentence with the correct verbs.
"I --- a student and he --- a teacher."
"I --- a student and he --- a teacher."

Since both subjects are singular, 'Are' cannot be used. 'Am' is used only with 'I' and is not with 'He'
3 .
Fill up the blanks in the following sentence with the correct verbs.
"I --- not a singer and they --- not musicians."
"I --- not a singer and they --- not musicians."
Were, Is
Am, Are

'Were' cannot be used with 'I' or 'They' and neither can 'Is'. 'Are' is for 'You' and plurals such as 'We' and 'They'. 'A,' is always used with 'I'

Fill up the blanks in the following sentence with the correct verbs.

5 .
Fill up the blanks in the following sentence with the correct verbs.
"--- we right or --- he right?"
"--- we right or --- he right?"
Was, Is
Am, Are
Is, Are

The first subject 'We' is plural and hence 'Was' and 'Is' cannot be used, and 'Am' is only used with 'I'. The second subject 'He' is singular so 'Are' cannot be used
6 .
Fill up the blanks in the following sentence with the correct verbs.

Is, Were
Were, Were
Am, Were
Since the pronouns are 'They' and 'We', 'Is' and 'Was' cannot be used, as they are for 'He/She/It', nor can 'Am' as it is associated with 'I'. In this sentence the verb is used as a helping verb to support the action verbs 'entering' and 'leaving'
