Explanation

Here, the plural or singular form is changed according to the 2nd subject ''friends'' which is in plural form,

so we use are in that sentence.

Neither he nor his friends are reading books نہ وہ اور نہ ہی اس کے دوست کتابیں پڑھ رہے ہیں

**Additional Information**

• In this sentence, "neither...nor" is a correlative conjunction that connects two singular subjects, "he" and "his friends."
• When using "neither...nor," the verb agrees with the closest subject,
• which in this case is "his friends," making the verb plural, hence "are" is used instead of "is."
• So, "Neither he nor his friends are reading books" is grammatically correct.

Explanation

Linking verbs do not express action; instead, they connect the subject to additional information, such as a state or condition.

Examples include is, am, are, was, were, seem, become, which link the subject to a complement (e.g., "She is happy.").

Explanation

A transitive verb requires a direct object to receive the action of the verb.

Such as "She kicked the ball."

In contrast, an intransitive verb does not require an object.

Explanation

Tania, accompanied by her brother, was at the party.

تانیہ ، اس کے ساتھ اپنے بھائی کے ساتھ ، پارٹی میں تھیں۔

The phrase "accompanied by her brother" does not change the singular subject "Tania".

So the singular verb "was" is correct.

Explanation

Ten year ago, I had worked in Lahore.

دس سال پہلے میں نے لاہور میں کام کیا تھا۔

The past perfect tense "had worked" is used here to indicate an action that was completed before another point in time, in this case, ten years ago.

Explanation

The verb "gets" is in simple present tense, which is used for general truths or habitual actions.

The sentence describes a regular occurrence — it usually becomes cold in the evening.

Explanation

The thief was stealing when the police arrived.

جب پولیس پہنچی تو چور چوری کر رہا تھا۔

This indicates that the act of stealing was happening at the same time the police arrived.

The sentence requires the past continuous tense, indicating an action that was ongoing at a specific time in the past.

Explanation

He goes to college daily in time.

The subject "He" is third person singular, so in the present simple tense, we add -s to the verb. 

The sentence describes a habitual action, so the present simple tense is appropriate.
