Steps to Solve
- Understanding the sentence context

The moon ........ round the earth.
- Here, the present continuous tense "moves" is appropriate.

I shall take milk before I ........ to bed.
- This indicates a future action, so "go" is the correct form.
- Choose: go.

Jony ........ a factory in New York.
- The present perfect tense "has" fits here.
- Choose: has.
- Choose the correct tense for the fifth sentence
Abraham ........ for Ayodhya city yesterday.
- "Yesterday" indicates a past action, so "left" is correct.
- Choose: left.

More Information
This exercise tests your understanding of verb tenses, which are crucial for indicating the time of actions in sentences. Proper use of tenses helps convey clear and accurate meaning in communication.
Tips
- Using the wrong tense can alter the meaning of a sentence and confuse the reader. For example, using "moved" instead of "moves" in the first sentence changes it from a current fact to a past occurrence.
- Misinterpreting time indicators (like "this year" indicating present vs. past) can lead to incorrect choices.
