    Explanation
    In this conversation, Alan confirms that the cheque was paid into the bank this morning.

    Anna      Hi, can I speak to Sally, please? Beth       I’m sorry, she ________ (just / go) out.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "has just gone". This is because the verb "go" is in the present perfect tense, which is formed by using the auxiliary verb "has" (or "have") followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the past participle of "go" is "gone". Therefore, the correct sentence is "I'm sorry, she has just gone out."

    Doctor   What seems to be the problem? John      I ________ (fall) over playing volleyball. I think I ________ (break) my finger.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "fell 've broken". In the conversation, John explains that he fell over while playing volleyball and believes that he has broken his finger. The verb "fell" is in the past tense to describe the action that already happened, and " 've broken" is a contraction of "have broken" indicating that the breaking of his finger occurred in the past as well.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Peter      How long ________ (you / know) Mike? Liz         Well, we ________ (meet) in 2008 and we’ve been good friends ever since.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "have you known met". The question is asking about the duration of Peter's knowledge of Mike. The correct tense to use in this context is the present perfect tense "have you known", which indicates an action that started in the past and continues up to the present. The verb "met" is used in the past tense to describe the initial meeting between Peter and Mike in 2008.
