Verbs are the engine of a sentence — without a verb, a sentence is incomplete. Class 2 IEO tests action verbs, linking verbs and correct subject-verb agreement. Bronze questions identify the verb in a simple sentence. Silver questions test whether the verb form matches a singular or plural subject. Gold questions require identifying multiple verbs in one sentence, or selecting the correct tense to make a sentence grammatically accurate. A firm grasp of verb forms is essential for the grammar section of the IEO paper.
Which word is the verb in this sentence: 'Maya reads a book every evening.'?
Correct: B) reads
'Reads' is the verb — it describes what Maya does. Verbs are action or state words that tell us what the subject is doing.
Choose the correct verb form: 'Aarav and Rohan ___ to school every day.'
Correct: B) walk
When the subject is plural ('Aarav and Rohan'), the verb does not take an -s. We say 'they walk', not 'they walks'.
Which sentence uses the verb correctly?
Correct: C) Priya danced beautifully at the concert.
Option C uses the simple past tense correctly — 'danced' is the right past form of 'dance'. The other options have subject-verb agreement errors or wrong tense.
Which option correctly changes the sentence 'Rohan writes a letter to his grandmother' to the past tense?
Correct: A) Rohan wrote a letter to his grandmother.
The simple past tense of 'writes' is 'wrote'. Option B uses 'write' incorrectly after 'had'. Option C changes to present continuous. Option D is wrong — 'yesterday' cannot be used with simple present tense.
Which sentence contains TWO verbs?
Correct: C) Maya sang and danced at the school party.
Option C has two verbs: 'sang' and 'danced', joined by 'and'. Each of the other sentences contains only one verb.
