Question

Choose the appropriate option to complete the following sentence: Kalyani made her children ______ chores on Sunday.

• A. make some
• B. take some
• C. do some
• D. does some

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To select the appropriate option to complete the sentence "Kalyani made her children ______ chores on Sunday," we need to analyze the grammatical structure of the sentence. The verb "made" implies that the children were compelled or instructed to perform an action. Following this structure, the correct verb form should be the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb that appropriately fits the described activity, which in this case is performing chores. Among the options: 

1. "make some" - Incorrect; "make" doesn't convey performing chores.
2. "take some" - Incorrect; "take" doesn't fit the context of performing chores.
3. "do some" - Correct; "do" is the appropriate verb for carrying out chores.
4. "does some" - Incorrect; "does" is not in the base form and does not agree with the sentence structure.

Thus, the correct completion of the sentence is: "Kalyani made her children do some chores on Sunday."

Answer 2

Grammar Explanation: Choosing the Correct Phrase

Sentence: 

She made her children do some chores before they could go out to play.

Correct Option:

• Option 3: do some – ✔️ Correct

Explanation: In English grammar, after the verb “made” (causative form), we use the **base form** of another verb. In this case, “do” is the correct verb for performing chores.

Incorrect Options:

• • Option 1: make some – ✖️ Incorrect; "make" is redundant and breaks grammatical structure.
• • Option 2: take some – ✖️ Incorrect; "take" does not express performing a task or action.
• • Option 4: does some – ✖️ Incorrect; "does" is third person singular, while "children" is plural, and it is also not used after “made.”

Grammar Note:

“make + person + base verb” is a common causative structure in English.
Example: They made him clean the room. (Not: made him to clean or cleaned)
