What are the answers to these English grammar practice questions about word order, tense, and tonal languages?

Here are the answers to the practice questions:

Question 1:
Most English sentences (clauses) conform to the Subject, then Verb, then Object word order.

• English is predominantly a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) language. This means that in most declarative sentences, the subject comes first, followed by the verb, and then the object.

The correct option is True.

Question 2:
All languages have a continuous tense form.

• While many languages, including English, have a continuous (or progressive) tense, not all languages possess this specific grammatical form. Some languages express ongoing actions through other linguistic mechanisms.

The correct option is False.

Question 3:
English is a tonal language.

• A tonal language uses pitch to differentiate the meaning of words. English uses pitch for intonation (e.g., to indicate a question or emphasis), but the pitch of a word does not change its fundamental meaning.

The correct option is False.
