Question

Fill in the blank using correct form of the verb:-
Megha ______ cricket on Sundays.
A. Play
B. Plays
C. Playing
D. Did played

Answer 1

Hint:Verb :- A phrase or word describing an event, situation, or experience.
The sentence mentioned speaks of a specific activity (i.e. playing cricket) that takes place on Sundays, i.e. a daily activity. To express a habitual action, the simple present tense is used.

Complete answer:
The basic form of the verb's present tense is 'play' or 'play'. When a plural noun is the subject, the phrase,' play' (without the letter,' s') is used. When a singular noun is the subject, the phrase,' plays' (with the letter 's') is used. The subject,' Megha,' is a singular noun in the sentence given.
Given the above reasons, as given in option B, the appropriate verb is 'plays'.

Lets see options :-
Play :- play is used for plural nouns, but megha is singular noun thus this option is wrong.
Plays :- plays are used for singular nouns and megha is singular nouns this option is right.
Playing :- The word 'playing' is wrong grammatically. It must be used with an auxiliary, such as 'is',' was',' was' or 'has/have been'. Thus this option is wrong too.
Did played :- As the auxiliary,' did' is used along with the simple present tense form of the verb, the expression 'did played' is grammatically inaccurate (and not past tense form i.e played). Thus this option is wrong too.

Hence the correct answer is option B.

Note:The verb is a kind of term that tells of an event or a condition (part of speech). It is the primary part of a sentence: there is a verb in any sentence. Verbs are the only kind of word in English that shifts to indicate past or current stress .
In the world, every language has verbs, but they are not all used in the same manner. In different languages, they may also have distinct properties. For example, Chinese & Indonesian) verbs do not shift in the past and present tense in some other languages, e.g. This means that the above description only fits well for verbs in English.
