gya hai.
Explanation:- (d) use ‘put’ instead of ‘putted' kyunki 'put' verb ki saari forms
same hoti hain.
2 4
Put – Put - Put

Explanation:- Use 'shall be happy' in place of 'shall happy'. kyunki 'shall' ek


modal hai aur 'happy' ek adjective hai toh hume shall ke baad ek esi main verb ki
3 2
zarurat hai jiske baad akela adjective 'happy' aa sake isliye yahan main verb ke
roop me ek linking verb 'be' ka use hoga.

Explanation:- Use ‘roused’ in place of ‘raised’.


4 3 raise :- kisi cheez ko uthana

rouse :- kisi person ke andar kisi feeling ko jagana.

5 3 'students' notify action ke receiver hain isliye verb passive form me aayegi, 'have
been notified' ka use hoga.

Explanation:- use 'submit' instead of 'submitted' kyunki Do/Does/Did ke baad


6 1
verb ki base form ka use kiya jaata hai.

7 2 meaning yeh hai ki 'Electric heaters' provide kiye gaye the isliye verb passive form
me aayegi 'were provided' ka use hoga.

8 2 modal verbs ke baad verb ki base form ka use kiya jaata hai, 'Success' ek noun hai aur
'Succeed' verb hai.

Explanation:- Use ‘need not have told a lie’ in place of ‘need not tell a
lie’. kyunki is sentence ka meaning yeh hai ki 'tumhe jhoot bolne ki zarurat nahi
9 1 thi, jab judge ne tumse puchha tha ki tum kahan the jab crime kiya gya tha'. Yahan
aage past ki baat ho rhi hai matlab wo person jhoot bol chuka hai. Isliye yahan
'modal+have+v3' structure ka use hoga.

wander :- to walk somewhere slowly with no particular sense of direction or


purpose
wonder :-to want to know something; to ask yourself questions about something

Explanation:- (a) use ‘swung’ instead of ‘swinged’ kyunki 'swing' verb ki 2nd and 3rd
11 1 form 'swung' hoti hai.

Swing – Swung - Swung

Explanation:- (d) write ‘explain the reason' or 'explain to you the reason' in
place of 'explain you the reason’ kyunki 'explain' koi ditransitive verb nahi hai aur

ya 'to you' ka use karen.

Explanation:- (c) Yahan agar 'need' ko main verb banaye toh 'Do you need to buy'

23 2 'has' ke baad verb ki 3rd form aati hai aur will ke baad verb ki base form isliye
yahan main verb ko common nahi liya jaa sakta.

Explanation:- (b) Remove 'as' kyunki 'as' comparison ko dikhata hai aur yahan 'her
24 2 and chairperson' ek hi hai toh comparison nahi hoga. Grammatically baat karen toh
'her' object hai aur 'chairperson' object complement hai.
