Sample BSEH Secondary Punjabi Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the BSEH Secondary Punjabi exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In Punjabi grammar (ਵਿਆਕਰਣ), what does a ਸਮਾਸੀ ਸ਼ਬਦ (samāsī shabad / compound word) primarily involve?
A.A word that only exists as an English loanword
B.Two or more words joined into one compound with a unified meaning
C.A punctuation mark used only at the end of a sentence
D.A verb form used exclusively in future tense
Explanation: A ਸਮਾਸੀ ਸ਼ਬਦ is a compound formed by joining two or more words into one unit with a combined meaning (e.g. related Class 10 samās drills). It is not limited to loanwords, punctuation, or future-tense verbs.
2Which Punjabi postposition typically marks the agent of a transitive verb in the perfective past (ergative construction)?
A.ਨੂੰ (nū̃)
B.ਨੇ (ne)
C.ਤੋਂ (tõ)
D.ਵਿੱਚ (vicc)
Explanation: In standard Punjabi, ਨੇ marks the agent/subject of many transitive perfective past constructions (ergative). When ਨੇ is used, the verb often agrees with the object rather than the agent.
3A singular masculine Punjabi noun ending in -ਾ (e.g. ਮੁੰਡਾ) usually changes to which form before a postposition?
A.It stays -ਾ without change
B.Oblique -ੇ (e.g. ਮੁੰਡੇ ਨੂੰ)
C.Feminine plural -ੀਆਂ
D.Infinitive -ਣਾ only
Explanation: Marked masculine nouns ending in -ਾ typically take the oblique singular ending -ੇ before postpositions (ਮੁੰਡਾ → ਮੁੰਡੇ ਨੂੰ). This is core case morphology for Class 10 Punjabi.
4What is the main function of an ਅਗੇਤਰ (agetar / prefix) in Punjabi word formation?
A.It always turns a noun into a full sentence
B.It is attached before a base word to modify meaning
C.It is placed only after a verb to show past tense
D.It replaces Gurmukhi script with Shahmukhi
Explanation: An ਅਗੇਤਰ is a prefix attached before a root/base to change or refine meaning (paired in the syllabus with ਪਿਛੇਤਰ, suffixes). It does not form sentences by itself or change script systems.
5What is the main function of a ਪਿਛੇਤਰ (pichettar / suffix) in Punjabi?
A.It is always written as a separate full stop
B.It is attached after a base word to form a new word or grammatical form
C.It is only used to mark English abbreviations
D.It deletes the first letter of every noun
Explanation: A ਪਿਛੇਤਰ is a suffix added after a base to create derived words or grammatical forms. BSEH Class 10 grammar groups ਅਗੇਤਰ-ਪਿਛੇਤਰ together as productive morphology skills.
6In Punjabi, a ਬਹੁ-ਅਰਥਕ ਸ਼ਬਦ (bahu-arthak shabad) is best defined as:
A.A word that has only one fixed meaning in all contexts
B.A word that can carry more than one meaning depending on context
C.A word that cannot appear in written Gurmukhi
D.A word used only in mathematical equations
Explanation: ਬਹੁ-ਅਰਥਕ ਸ਼ਬਦ means a polysemous word—one form with multiple meanings resolved by context. This is a listed Class 10 Punjabi grammar focus in the BSEH QPD.
7A ਕਿਰਿਆ-ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼ਣ (kriyā-viśeṣaṇ) in Punjabi primarily modifies which part of speech?
A.A noun only
B.A verb (or verbal action)
C.A postposition only
D.A number written in digits only
Explanation: A ਕਿਰਿਆ-ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼ਣ is an adverbial modifier of the verb/action (how, when, where, to what degree). It is a named grammar topic in the BSEH Punjabi Code 037 design.
8Which second-person form is the standard honorific/polite address in Punjabi?
A.ਤੂੰ (tū̃) with intimate singular verbs
B.ਤੁਸੀਂ (tusī̃) with respectful plural agreement
C.ਉਹ (uh) as first-person ‘I’
D.ਮੈਂ (maĩ) as second-person ‘you’
Explanation: ਤੁਸੀਂ is the polite/honorific second-person form, typically taking plural verb agreement. ਤੂੰ is intimate/informal singular and is not the default respectful address for elders or formal situations.
9How is the present continuous typically formed for a masculine singular subject in standard Punjabi (e.g. ‘he is reading’)?
A.Verb stem + ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ (rihā hai)
B.Verb stem + ਏਗਾ only, with no auxiliary
C.Noun + ਨੂੰ only, with no verb
D.Adjective + ਤੋਂ only
Explanation: Present continuous commonly uses the progressive participle with gender/number agreement plus ਹੈ/ਹਨ — e.g. masculine singular ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ after the verb stem (ਪੜ੍ਹ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ).
10Which option correctly pairs a common Punjabi genitive postposition with its basic meaning?
A.ਦਾ/ਦੀ/ਦੇ — ‘of / belonging to’
B.ਵਿੱਚ — ‘from only’
C.ਤੋਂ — ‘inside only’
D.ਨਾਲ — ‘without only’
Explanation: ਦਾ/ਦੀ/ਦੇ is the genitive (‘of / belonging to’), agreeing in gender/number with the possessed noun. ਵਿੱਚ is locative ‘in’; ਤੋਂ is ablative ‘from/than’; ਨਾਲ means ‘with’.

BSEH Secondary Punjabi: Suggested Study Strategy

1Drill grammar transforms (ਸਮਾਸੀ ਸ਼ਬਦ, ਬਹੁ-ਅਰਥਕ, ਕਿਰਿਆ-ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼ਣ, ਅਗੇਤਰ-ਪਿਛੇਤਰ, ਮੁਹਾਵਰੇ) until you can fix errors quickly — they appear in dedicated grammar items.
2Practise unseen prose and poetry with a timer: skim for main idea, then answer detail and inference with evidence from the lines.
3Memorise writing formats (formal letter layout, informal letter, essay/paragraph, notice) as checklists even when using MCQs for structure knowledge.
4For literature, revise theme, character motivation, and devices for each Sahit-Mala and Vangi lesson; quote short authentic phrases only when you can verify them from the text.
5After MCQ revision, write full answers from official-style model papers under 3-hour timing — MCQs build recognition, not handwriting stamina or long-answer structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the official BSEH Secondary Punjabi exam multiple-choice?

No. The official BSEH Class 10 Punjabi (Code 037) paper is a mixed theory examination out of 80 marks (plus Internal Assessment 20). Items typically combine reading, writing, grammar, and literature tasks in objective, short, and long formats in Punjabi (Gurmukhi). The 100 questions on this page are an English-language MCQ study adaptation to build recognition of language and literature concepts — they are not a full simulation of the official mixed paper.

What is the full marks split and duration for BSEH Secondary Punjabi?

Full marks are 100: Theory 80 + Internal Assessment 20. The theory paper duration is 3 hours. Confirm the exact timetable and any design updates on bseh.org.in for your examination year.

What is the passing score for BSEH Secondary Punjabi?

Under BSEH regulations, candidates must secure at least 33% in the subject aggregate and at least 33% separately in the external (theory) examination. Verify the latest Board regulations and circulars for your session.

Which textbooks does BSEH Class 10 Punjabi use?

BSEH Class 10 Punjabi (Code 037) uses Sahit-Mala : 10 (ਸਾਹਿਤ-ਮਾਲਾ : 10 — Punjabi poetry and prose) and Vangi : 10 (ਵੰਨਗੀ : 10 — Punjabi stories and one-act plays), published as CBSE/BSEH-aligned materials. Confirm the year’s prescribed list on the official syllabus page.

How much does the BSEH Secondary Punjabi exam cost?

Punjabi is not separately priced as a standalone fee figure on this page. Pay as per the BSEH annual examination fee notification for school or private candidates through forms on bseh.org.in. Do not rely on unofficial fixed rupee amounts.

Why are these practice questions in English if the official paper is in Punjabi?

OpenExamPrep publishes one English-language practice bank per exam URL for students who research and study in English. Authentic Gurmukhi words, short phrases, literary titles, or grammar examples appear when the skill requires them, with English explanations. This is a study adaptation, not an official English sitting of the BSEH paper and not a substitute for timed Punjabi writing practice.

Where can I find the official syllabus and question-paper design?

Use the Board of School Education Haryana portal at https://bseh.org.in and the Class 10 syllabus/QPD catalog (for example the Secondary 2026-27 materials linked from the Board site). Always prefer the current year’s PDF notifications over third-party summaries.
