1In Punjabi grammar, which postposition is used to mark the agent in a transitive verb construction in the perfective past tense?
A.ਨੂੰ (nu)
B.ਨੇ (ne)
C.ਤੋਂ (ton)
D.ਦਾ (da)
Explanation: In Punjabi, the ergative postposition 'ਨੇ' (ne) marks the agent/subject of a transitive verb when used in perfective past tenses. When 'ne' is attached to the subject, the verb agrees in gender and number with the direct object.
2Which of the following forms correctly completes the sentence to agree with a feminine plural subject: 'ਕੁੜੀਆਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਸੋਹਣੀਆਂ _____ (The girls were very beautiful)'?
A.ਸੀ (si)
B.ਸਨ (san)
C.ਸੀਗਾ (seega)
D.ਹੋਇਆ (hoia)
Explanation: In standard Punjabi, 'ਸਨ' (san) is the plural auxiliary past tense verb ('were') agreeing with plural subjects like 'ਕੁੜੀਆਂ' (girls). While 'ਸੀ' can occur colloquially, 'ਸਨ' is the formal standard plural agreement.
3Unlike English, which places prepositions before nouns, Punjabi uses postpositions that come after nouns. What morphological change occurs to a singular masculine noun ending in '-ਾ' (-aa) when followed by a postposition?
A.It remains unchanged
B.The ending '-ਾ' (-aa) changes to '-ੇ' (-e) in the oblique case
C.The ending '-ਾ' (-aa) changes to '-ੀਆਂ' (-iyaan)
D.The noun adds '-ਨੂੰ' directly without altering the stem
Explanation: Masculine nouns ending in '-ਾ' (-aa) (e.g., ਮੁੰਡਾ - munda) shift to their oblique singular form ending in '-ੇ' (-e) (e.g., ਮੁੰਡੇ ਨੂੰ - munde nu) whenever followed by any postposition.
4Which second-person pronoun and verb combination represents the formal/honorific register in Punjabi when addressing a senior person?
A.ਤੂੰ ਜਾ (too jaa)
B.ਤੁਸੀਂ ਜਾਓ (tusi jaao)
C.ਉਹ ਜਾਵੇ (oh jaave)
D.ਮੈਂ ਜਾਵਾਂ (main jaavaan)
Explanation: In Punjabi, 'ਤੁਸੀਂ' (tusi) paired with the plural imperative verb ending '-ਓ' (-ao) (e.g., 'ਤੁਸੀਂ ਜਾਓ') expresses politeness, respect, and formal honorific address.
5How is the present continuous tense formed in Punjabi for a masculine singular subject performing an action (e.g. 'He is reading')?
A.Verb stem + ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ (riha hai)
B.Verb stem + ਦਾ ਸੀ (da si)
C.Verb stem + ਏਗਾ (ega)
D.Verb stem + ਕੇ (ke)
Explanation: The present continuous tense in Punjabi uses the auxiliary element 'ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ' (riha hai) for masculine singular subjects following the primary verb stem (e.g., ਪੜ੍ਹ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ - parh riha hai).
6What is the correct direct plural form of the marked masculine noun 'ਕਮਰਾ' (kamraa - room)?
A.ਕਮਰੀਆਂ (kamriyaan)
B.ਕਮਰੇ (kamre)
C.ਕਮਰਿਆਂ (kamriyaan)
D.ਕਮਰੋ (kamro)
Explanation: Marked masculine nouns ending in '-ਾ' (-aa) form their direct nominative plural by changing the final vowel to '-ੇ' (-e). Thus, 'ਕਮਰਾ' (room) becomes 'ਕਮਰੇ' (rooms).
7Select the sentence where the possessive postposition 'ਦਾ' (da) correctly agrees in gender and number with the possessed noun 'ਕਿਤਾਬਾਂ' (books - feminine plural):
A.ਰਾਮ ਦਾ ਕਿਤਾਬਾਂ (Ram da kitaban)
B.ਰਾਮ ਦੇ ਕਿਤਾਬਾਂ (Ram de kitaban)
C.ਰਾਮ ਦੀਆਂ ਕਿਤਾਬਾਂ (Ram diyan kitaban)
D.ਰਾਮ ਦੀ ਕਿਤਾਬਾਂ (Ram di kitaban)
Explanation: The possessive postposition agrees with the possessed object. Since 'ਕਿਤਾਬਾਂ' is feminine plural, the possessive postposition must take the feminine plural form 'ਦੀਆਂ' (diyan).
8Which Punjabi postposition marks the specific direct object or indirect object of a sentence (equivalent to 'to' or marking accusative/dative case)?
A.ਨੇ (ne)
B.ਨੂੰ (nu)
C.ਨਾਲ (naal)
D.ਉੱਤੇ (utte)
Explanation: The postposition 'ਨੂੰ' (nu) marks the direct object when specific or animate, as well as the indirect object in dative constructions (e.g., ਉਸ ਨੇ ਬੱਚੇ ਨੂੰ ਖਿਡੌਣਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ).
9What is the standard simple future tense form of the verb 'ਲਿਖਣਾ' (likhna - to write) for the first-person plural 'ਅਸੀਂ' (we)?
A.ਅਸੀਂ ਲਿਖਾਂਗੇ (asain likhaange)
B.ਅਸੀਂ ਲਿਖੇਗਾ (asain likhega)
C.ਅਸੀਂ ਲਿਖੀਏ (asain likhiye)
D.ਅਸੀਂ ਲਿਖਿਆ (asain likhia)
Explanation: For first-person plural 'ਅਸੀਂ' (we), the simple future tense suffix added to the verb root is '-ਾਂਗੇ' (-aange), forming 'ਅਸੀਂ ਲਿਖਾਂਗੇ' (we will write).
10Where is the negative particle 'ਨਹੀਂ' (nahin) standardly placed in a standard Punjabi declarative sentence?
A.At the very end of the sentence after the auxiliary verb
B.Before the main verb or main verb phrase
C.At the very beginning before the subject
D.Attached as a suffix to the noun
Explanation: In standard Punjabi word order (SOV), the negation particle 'ਨਹੀਂ' (nahin) immediately precedes the main verb (e.g., 'ਮੈਂ ਸਕੂਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਗਿਆ' - I did not go to school).
