Grammar - English Aptitude MCQ Questions and Answers

The correct answer is Option D: no preposition.

Here's why:

We don't use a preposition before the word "home" when it's used as an adverb of place, especially after verbs of motion like "come," "go," "arrive," "return," etc.

Think of "home" in this sentence as meaning "homeward." So, "He always comes home late" is like saying "He always comes homeward late."

Let's look at why the other options are incorrect:
* Option A: to - We generally use "to" with a noun/pronoun for destination. E.g., "He goes to the market."
* Option B: at - We often use "at" for specific locations, but not typically with the adverb "home." E.g., "He is at the library."
* Option C: in - We use "in" to express being enclosed or inside something. E.g., "He is in the house."

So, the sentence "He always comes home late" is grammatically correct without any preposition before "home."

'noticed' indicates past tense and 'had' is used with past tense sentences.

The verb which comes after the auxiliary verb - "did", always will be the base form (that called "infinitive" form, meaning without any inflection to the past tense). Therefore: I did not go to university yesterday.

The preposition 'at' can be used in multiple contexts, such as telling time or location (e.g., telling someone to meet 'at midnight' or 'at the coffee shop'). However, 'at' can also be used to introduce prepositional phrases that identify the object of a sentence.
Example: He was looking at all the different options.

If the noun is singular, use 'is'. If it is plural or there is more than one noun, use 'are'.'They' is a plural noun.

'where' means in or to what place or position. Hence, 'where' is the correct answer.

In this sentence, the correct combination of words to fill in the blanks is "Can, live." The auxiliary verb "can" is used to express ability, and it should be followed by the base form of the verb, which is "live" in this case. Therefore, the correct sentence is:
Can we live without water?

Have been and has been are verb constructions that are used in the present perfect tense and the present perfect progressive tense. We would use have been when the sentence subject is I, you, we, or the third person plural.

'Could' is the past tense modal verb of 'can'. 'had' cannot be used because the verb is in its first form. If the verb was in second form i.e. 'broke' then 'had' was the suitable answer.

'Who' functions as a subject, while 'whom' functions as an object. Use 'who' when the word is performing the action. Use 'whom' when it is receiving the action.
