Answer Key & Solutions

Q1. [1 Mark]

(b) swum — The verb ‘swim’ is irregular: swim (V1) → swam (V2) → swum (V3). ‘Swam’ is V2 (past simple), ‘swimming’ is V4, and ‘swims’ is V5.

Q2. [1 Mark]

(c) catches — V5 is the third-person singular present form (he/she/it catches). ‘Caught’ is V2/V3, and ‘catching’ is V4.

Q3. [1 Mark]

(b) froze, frozen — ‘Freeze’ is an irregular verb. V2 = froze, V3 = frozen. It does not follow the regular -ed pattern (‘freezed’ is incorrect).

Q4. [1 Mark]

(b) cut — ‘Cut’ is one of the verbs where V1, V2, and V3 are all the same: cut → cut → cut. Such verbs are called “all-same-form” irregular verbs (others: put, shut, hurt).

Q5. [1 Mark]

(c) V3 — ‘Driven’ is the past participle (V3) of ‘drive’. It is used here with the helper verb ‘has’ to form the present perfect tense (has + V3).

Q6. [2 Marks]

V1	V2	V3	V4	V5
speak	spoke	spoken	speaking	speaks
choose	chose	chosen	choosing	chooses

[1 mark for each complete row]

Q7. [2 Marks]

(a) She wrote a beautiful poem yesterday. — V2 (past simple) of ‘write’ is ‘wrote’. [1 mark]
(b) The letter has been written by my brother. — V3 (past participle) of ‘write’ is ‘written’. Used here in passive voice with helper verb. [1 mark]

Q8. [2 Marks]

V1	V2	V3	V4	V5
fly	flew	flown	flying	flies
shake	shook	shaken	shaking	shakes

[1 mark for each complete row]

Q9. [2 Marks]

(a) The children sang songs at the morning assembly. — V2 of ‘sing’ is ‘sang’ (irregular verb). [1 mark]
(b) He teaches us every day. — V5 of ‘teach’ is ‘teaches’ (add -es after ‘ch’). Used with third-person singular subject ‘He’. [1 mark]

Q10. [2 Marks]

(a) ‘Broke’ is V2 (past simple). It is used as the main verb in a simple past sentence without any helper verb. The subject (She) performed the action directly. [1 mark]
(b) ‘Broken’ is V3 (past participle). It is used with the helper verb ‘was’ to form the passive voice (was + V3). V3 always needs a helper verb. [1 mark]

Q11. [2 Marks]

(a) thrown (V3): The ball was thrown over the fence by the bowler. — V3 used with helper verb ‘was’ in passive voice. [1 mark]
(b) forgetting (V4): I keep forgetting my lunch box at home. — V4 used after the verb ‘keep’ to show a continuous/ongoing action. [1 mark]
(Accept any grammatically correct sentence using the given form.)

Q12. [2 Marks]

V3 (past participle) cannot stand alone as the main verb of a sentence. It always needs a helper (auxiliary) verb such as has, have, had, is, was, or been. [1 mark]

Example:
❌ Incorrect: She gone to the market.
✅ Correct: She has gone to the market.

Without the helper verb, the sentence is grammatically incomplete. The helper verb tells us the tense (present perfect, past perfect, passive voice, etc.). [1 mark]

Q13. [2 Marks]

Regular verbs form V2 and V3 by adding -d or -ed to the base form, so V2 and V3 are always the same.
Example: play → played (V2) → played (V3). [1 mark]

Irregular verbs do NOT follow a fixed pattern. Their V2 and V3 forms change in unpredictable ways, and V2 and V3 are often different from each other.
Example: drink → drank (V2) → drunk (V3). [1 mark]

Q14. [2 Marks]

	V1	V2	V3	V4	V5
lie (to recline)	lie	lay	lain	lying	lies
lay (to place)	lay	laid	laid	laying	lays

Key confusion: The V2 of ‘lie’ (to recline) is ‘lay’, which looks the same as V1 of ‘lay’ (to place). Remember: ‘lie’ (recline) does NOT take an object; ‘lay’ (place) always takes an object. [1 mark per correct row]

Q15. [2 Marks]

	V1	V2	V3	V4	V5
rise (to go up)	rise	rose	risen	rising	rises
raise (to lift)	raise	raised	raised	raising	raises

Key difference: ‘Rise’ is irregular and intransitive (no object): “The sun rises.” ‘Raise’ is regular and transitive (needs an object): “She raises her hand.” [1 mark per correct row]
