Choose the appropriate option to complete the following sentence:
Kalyani made her children _____ chores on Sunday.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → do some
Complete sentence: Kalyani made her children do some chores on Sunday. Chores go with the verb do: we do chores, housework and homework.
| Option | Form and use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) make some | The structure is right: a base form follows "made her children". But chores are done, not made. "Make" goes with things we create, such as tea, a cake or a plan. | Let me make some tea for the guests. |
| (2) take some | "Take chores" is not a natural phrase. Take goes with rest, medicine, a bus, a photo and so on. | You look tired; take some rest. |
| (3) do some (answer) | "Make someone do something" means to force someone to do it. Pattern: make + object + base form of the verb (without "to")
| Our teacher made us do some extra sums after school. |
| (4) does some | After "make + object" the verb is in its base form. The -s form "does" is used only with a third-person singular subject in the present tense. | She does some yoga every morning. |
Contrast: "make" takes the base form after its object (made her children do). Chores are done, while tea, a cake or a plan is made.
