Question 4.
The words that tell us about an action are called verbs. The story tells us about the action happened in the past and to express those actions, the author has used the past form of the action words (verbs). There are three types of tenses in the past that we use frequently.
(i) To express an action completed in the past with reference to the time of speaking.
Example: Gajaraj lived in a royal stable.

(ii) To express habitual or regular action in the past.
Example: Gandhiji always spoke the truth.

(b) Past Continuous Tense
(Subject + was/were + 1 st Form of the Verb + ing + …)
To denote an action going on in the past.
Example: They both were eating happily.

(c) Past Perfect Tense
(Subject + had + 3rd Form of the Verb + …)
To denote the action or event which has been completed before some point of time.
Example: Buntee had not eaten anything for a long.

Question 6.
Choose the correct form of the verb from the brackets to complete the following passage.

In the end, the mahout said that he _________ (found/was finding/had found) a friend too.

Question 7.
In English, we often use either…or and neither…nor. They are correlative conjunctions used to express relationships between two alternatives in a sentence. They are often used to present choices or to indicate that two ideas are both false or both true.
(a) You can have either apples or bananas for breakfast.
This suggests a choice between two types of fruits.
(b) Neither the elephant nor the dog is allowed in the pond.
Both the elephant and the dog are not allowed in the pond.

Now, complete the following sentences with correct uses of ‘neither…nor’ or ‘either… or’.
