Trivia Quiz: Adam's Multiple Choice English Test

The correct answer is "Somebody is singing" because the sentence is in present continuous tense, indicating an action happening at the moment of speaking. Since "somebody" is a singular pronoun, the correct verb form to use is "is singing" instead of "are singing" which is used for plural subjects.

The correct sentence is "How long have you been married?" because it is the only option that correctly uses the present perfect tense to ask about the duration of a current state or action. The other options either use the wrong verb tense or ask about a specific point in time rather than the duration.

The correct answer is "are coming". This is because the sentence is in the present continuous tense, indicating an action that is happening in the future. "Are coming" is the correct form of the verb "to come" in the present continuous tense when referring to multiple people (parents).

The correct answer is "I agree" because it is the only grammatically correct and commonly used phrase to express agreement. The other options contain errors such as incorrect verb forms ("am agreed", "am agree", "I'm agreeing") or negation ("I'm not agree"). Therefore, "I agree" is the only appropriate response in this context.

The correct answer is ".... was built in 1889." This is because the Eiffel Tower is a completed structure, so the past tense "was built" is appropriate. The word "built" is the correct past participle form of the verb "build" in this context.

The correct answer is "I don’t know that boy very well." This sentence is grammatically correct and conveys the meaning that the speaker does not have a strong acquaintance with the boy in question.

The correct answer is ".... I stayed at." This is the most grammatically correct and natural-sounding option. The phrase "I stayed at" is commonly used to indicate where someone stayed, and the word "it" is unnecessary in this context. The other options have grammatical errors or awkward phrasing.

The answer "I don't think so" is the most appropriate response to the question "Is that the end?" because it suggests uncertainty or doubt about whether it is indeed the end.

Therefore, "I don't think so" is the most suitable response in this context.

The correct answer is "Please don't sit down Mr Black."

The phrase "just switched the radio on" implies that the speaker has recently turned on the radio. The word "just" indicates that this action was done very recently, possibly in response to not knowing the score. The other options do not convey the same sense of immediacy or timing.

Therefore, this option is grammatically correct and makes sense in the given context.

The correct answer is "I have had." This is because the phrase "I'll pick you up when" indicates a future action, and the verb tense used should be present perfect to show that the action of having dinner is completed before the future action of picking someone up. Therefore, "I have had" is the correct verb tense to use in this context.
