Question

Identify the first person verb in the given sentence:

In the morning, I realised that something was wrong.

• A. realised
• B. was
• C. something
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A realised

The verb in a sentence is usually of the same person and number as the subject. Thus, if a verb is of the First Person, it is because the verb's subject is of the First Person.

Option A is correct. The subject of the sentence is "I", making "realised" the main verb. Moreover, "I" is of the First Person and since the verb is of the same person as its subject, "realised", too, is of the First Person.

Option B is incorrect. Though "was' is a verb (linking verb, to be more precise), it is not the main verb of the sentence.

Option C is incorrect. "Something" is not a verb, but a pronoun.

Option D is incorrect since the answer is option A.
