Is it a mistake?

Is it a mistake?

SetoiArchie
I was sure I must use "slept", because it's past simple test and "slept"is the second form of "sleep". So what's wrong?

Yes whoever submitted this test is utterly mistaken. /Sleep/ is not how you conjugate the verb after he. He/she/it sleeps. Also "Some verbs call" should be some verbs \*called\*. We're not talking about verbs being a person contacting someone on the phone. ​ Edit: It's a past simple test? Then it should be right. Something is wrong on the app side or the submitter.

You're correct and the test is wrong. B "slept" is the only grammatical choice out of those given. Note that "call" in the Explanation is also grammatically incorrect. Whatever app this is, it's garbage.

The correct answer is "slept". Also, the 'Explantaion' is not grammatically correct (it should say 'called')

The quiz is wrong. You would either say, "He slept a lot", or "He sleeps a lot".

I don't know what this app is, but you should delete that shit

Slept is correct.

They've made an error when they set the correct answer, their explanation shows that they know slept is the correct answer. Let them know

I sleep, you sleep, he/she/it sleeps The quiz is WRONG

“Some verbs, called ‘irregular verbs,’ do not follow the rule.” Past participle; commas for non-essential subordinate clause. Two mistakes in addition to the quiz answer itself. When your English learning source can’t do English grammar correctly, it’s time to find another source.

Everything is wrong with that question. But your thinking was right

If there would be `sleeps` in choices, could it be answer?

The quiz is wrong. You are correct.

The exam is wrong. Even the explanation is pointing out that the correct answer should be "slept". I guess they just miscoded it. You might want to flag it to your teacher.
odd_coin
the question's wrong
Every_Masterpiece_77

OP, what's the app so i never get this shit
darkboomel
"Sleeps" or "slept." Definitely not just "sleep."
Fresh_Network_283
Lol, the explanation is given for the option D like you shouldn't follow the common rules because there's irregular verbs not sleeped save slept and they mixed up everything
sniperman357
The grammatical error in the explanation doesn’t bode well for the accuracy of this service lol

he be sleeping a lot

According to the explanation, "some of irregular verbs" doesn't follow the rule. Also 'verbs' can't follow anything literally or metaphorically. I think your teacher is bad at their native language too. 🥸

It seems to me that irregular verbs are slowly being phases out. I've seen news stories that talk about how people pleaded, not pled. And others as well. However I have not seen sleeped before.

The test was made by ai? 🤣

"sleepped" is really making me giggle, such a funny looking (non-) word! And yes, you are right and the test is wrong
DarkWitch777
Idk why, but "he sleep a lot" makes me laugh 🤣

Please do not do this quiz, it's genuinely terrible.

Slept is 100% the correct answer

Whoever made this english test should study english themselves. Their grammar and punctuation are off. For example: "some verbs **call** irregular verbs" instead of **called**, and " irregular verbs" instead of "irregular verbs," and sleep - slept **.** instead of sleep - slept**.** Anywho, you are correct and quiz is wrong.
Prestigious_Panda946
yep youre right
Tracker_Nivrig
The quiz also uses incorrect grammar in the explanation lol. It should be, "Some verbs *called" 'Irregular Verbs'..."
peaches-n-oranges-11
Even the explanation has errors “some verbs call irregular verbs”??? Yeah get off this app
HennesseyHennessey
Your answer is the best answer because “sleeps” isn’t on their.
Umbra_175
The exam is wrong, not you.
Victor_Ingenito
Among the options, ‘slept’ is the only one that fills in grammatically right.
Dry-Cost-945
That is very wrong it should be 'slept'
elegantkusu
Yes. If it’s not an English test.
PaleMeet9040
its definatly not sleep I would say slept is correct because its the only other answer that is actually a word. Irl though I would use sleeps "he sleeps a lot" more often its just present tense of "he slept a lot" though. "he slept a lot" implies he no longer sleeps a lot.

Thats ghetto english
