2731. I didn't ______ TV last night.

• A. Not watched
• B. Watched
• C. Watch
• D. Watching

Explanation: After the past auxiliary “did,” the main verb takes its base form: “did not watch.” “Watched” cannot follow “did” in standard English.

2732. Her father _____ yesterday?

• A. dead
• B. died
• C. has died
• D. was died
• E. had died

Explanation: The definite past-time marker yesterday requires the simple past tense, died. Has died is present perfect and cannot normally be used with a finished time such as yesterday.

2733. I did not ____ to university yesterday.

• A. went
• B. go
• C. gone
• D. going

Explanation: After the auxiliary did, the main verb must be in its base form: “did not go.” Went and gone cannot follow did, and going would require a different construction.

2734. I ______ lie from now on.

• A. don't
• B. didn't
• C. haven't
• D. won't
• E. hadn't

Explanation: Won’t is the contraction of will not and correctly expresses a refusal or decision about future behaviour: “I won’t lie from now on.” Don’t refers to the present, not the stated future period.

2735. ____ you call your friend yesterday?

• A. Have
• B. Had
• C. Will
• D. Did
• E. Do

Explanation: Did is the past-tense auxiliary used to form a question about a completed action yesterday: “Did you call?” The main verb remains in its base form after did.

2736. If I __________ money, I would purchase it now.

• A. has
• B. have
• C. had
• D. have had

Explanation: This is the second conditional: the unreal or hypothetical condition takes the past form had, followed by would purchase in the result clause. Has and have do not fit this hypothetical pattern.

2737. I wish Sana _______come soon.

• A. will
• B. would
• C. had
• D. have

Explanation: After wish, would expresses a desired or hoped-for future action: “I wish Sana would come soon.” Will is normally avoided after wish in this structure.

2738. You must take a taxi if you ___________ to catch the next train.

• A. intend
• B. will intend
• C. would intend
• D. intending

Explanation: In a first conditional sentence, the if-clause takes the simple present, even when it refers to the future: “if you intend to catch.” “Will intend” is not normally used in this condition clause.

2739. It is very cold here in winter, so they ___________ Islamabad.

• A. going to
• B. usually go to
• C. goes to
• D. are sometimes go to

Explanation: The plural subject “they” takes the base verb “go,” and “usually” correctly expresses a repeated habit. “Goes” agrees with a singular subject, not “they.”

2740. I did not know where he _________ from.

• A. has come
• B. had come
• C. have come
• D. comes

Explanation: The past perfect “had come” places his coming before the later past moment when the speaker did not know. This is the usual backshifted form in reported past-time narration.
