1. Fill in the blanks with the appropriate forms of verbs given in the parenthesis.

2. Fill in the blanks with the appropriate forms of the verbs given in the parenthesis.

(Which one is correct? Do we have to put 'the' before 'verbs' or not?)

The second sentence is better because it's specific. Yes, use "the."

yes

Both options can be correct, depending on the context and the intended meaning.

1. "Fill in the blanks with the appropriate forms of verbs given in the parenthesis." - This sentence suggests that you need to use any appropriate forms of verbs that are provided in the parentheses.

2. "Fill in the blanks with the appropriate forms of the verbs given in the parenthesis." - Adding "the" before "verbs" specifies that you need to use the appropriate forms of specific verbs that are mentioned or provided in the parentheses.

In most cases, it is more common to use "the" before "verbs" to indicate a specific set of verbs that is being referred to. However, if the context or the intended meaning is to be more general, you can omit "the" before "verbs."

Both options are grammatically correct, but they have slightly different meanings.

1. "Fill in the blanks with the appropriate forms of verbs given in the parenthesis."
In this sentence, "verbs" is used in a general sense, referring to any verbs that are given in the parentheses. It does not specify a particular set of verbs or a specific group of verbs.

2. "Fill in the blanks with the appropriate forms of the verbs given in the parenthesis."
In this sentence, "the verbs" implies that there is a specific group of verbs given in the parentheses, and you should use the appropriate forms of those specific verbs.

So, the choice between "verbs" and "the verbs" depends on whether the given parentheses contain a specific set of verbs or just any verbs in general.
