2. Complete de sentence with was,were,wasn't or weren't  _____ they Brazilian?

The correct answer is "Were" because it agrees with the plural subject "they."

Submit
3. Complete de sentence with was,were,wasn't or weren't Keyra _____ happy yesterday. She broke up with her boyfriend.

Explanation

The correct answer is "wasn't, was not" because the sentence is in the past tense and refers to a single person, Keyra. The negative form of the past tense of "to be" is "wasn't" or "was not," so it is appropriate to use in this context to indicate that Keyra was not happy yesterday.

Submit
4. Yes/No questions with verb to BE in the simple past start with the words WAS or WERE

Explanation

Yes/No questions with the verb to BE in the simple past tense start with the words WAS or WERE. This is because WAS is used for singular subjects (I, he, she, it) and WERE is used for plural subjects (we, you, they). For example, "Was she at the party?" or "Were they late for the meeting?" Therefore, the statement "Yes/No questions with verb to BE in the simple past start with the words WAS or WERE" is true.

Submit
5. The sentences are in present simple. Turn them into past simple. We like oranges.

Explanation

The correct answer is "We liked oranges" because when we want to change a sentence from present simple to past simple, we need to change the verb "like" to its past tense form "liked".

Submit
6. The past of the verb to DO is...

Explanation

The past of the verb "to do" is "did". This is the correct answer because "did" is the past tense form of the verb "to do". It is used to indicate an action that occurred in the past.

Submit
7. Yes/No questions with  other verbs in the simple past start with the word DID

Explanation

In English, when asking a yes/no question in the simple past tense with verbs other than "to be," we use the auxiliary verb "did" at the beginning of the question. This is called the past simple form. Therefore, the statement "Yes/No questions with other verbs in the simple past start with the word DID" is true.

Submit
8. The past of the verb to SING is...

Explanation

The past tense of the verb "to SING" is "sang." This is because "sang" is the correct past tense form of the verb "to SING" when referring to a specific action that occurred in the past.

Submit
9. The past of the verb to WRITE is...

Explanation

The past tense of the verb "to WRITE" is "wrote."

Submit
10. The past of the verb to PUT is...

Explanation

The past of the verb "to PUT" is "put".

Submit
11. The sentences are in present simple. Turn them into past simple. She is at home.

Explanation

The correct answer is "She was at home." This is the correct past simple form of the sentence "She is at home." In the past tense, we use "was" for singular subjects like "she." The other options "She were at home" and "She weren't at home" are incorrect because "were" is used for plural subjects and "weren't" is the negative form of "were."

Submit
12. The sentences are in present simple. Turn them into past simple. He does his work well.

Explanation

The correct answer is "He did his work well." This is the correct transformation of the sentence from present simple to past simple. The verb "do" is changed to its past form "did" and the rest of the sentence remains the same. The other options are incorrect because they either use the incorrect past form of the verb ("doed") or do not use the past form at all ("didn't", "do").

Submit
13. The past of the verb to SLEEP is...

Explanation

The past tense of the verb "to sleep" is "slept".

Submit
14. The sentences are in present simple. Turn them into past simple.  I break a cup.

Explanation

The correct answer is "I broke a cup." This is the correct past simple form of the verb "break" in the first person singular. The other options are incorrect because "breaked" and "broak" are not correct verb forms in the past simple tense, and "broken" is the past participle form of the verb, not the past simple tense.

Submit
15. Yes/No questions with verb to BE in the simple past start with the word DID

Explanation

The explanation for the given correct answer is that yes/no questions with the verb "to be" in the simple past do not start with the word "DID." In English grammar, yes/no questions in the simple past with the verb "to be" are formed by inverting the subject and the verb "to be." For example, "Was he happy?" or "Were they tired?" Therefore, the statement "Yes/No questions with verb to BE in the simple past start with the word DID" is false.

Submit
16. Complete de sentence with was,were,wasn't or weren't We _____ at home last night. We went to the cinema.

Explanation

The correct answer is "weren't, were not." This is because the sentence is referring to multiple people (we) and the action of being at home. Since they went to the cinema, it implies that they were not at home. "Weren't" and "were not" both indicate the negative form of the verb "to be" in the past tense, which is appropriate in this context.
