Explanation

The words "I sometimes go to the gym" are ordered correctly to form a grammatically correct sentence.

Submit
35. She has blue eyes. She ___ brown eyes.

Submit
36. We use WHO to ask about a person.

The statement is true because we use "who" to ask about a person. "Who" is an interrogative pronoun used to inquire about the identity or characteristics of a person. It is used to ask questions such as "Who is he?" or "Who is going to the party?"

Submit
37. Chose the odd word out.

Submit
38. There aren't ____ flowers in the vase

Explanation

The word "any" is the correct answer because it is used in negative sentences to indicate the absence or lack of something. In this case, it suggests that there are no flowers in the vase. The other options ("some," "a," and "the") do not convey the same meaning of absence or lack.

Submit
39. John  :  When you get up?         Jim   :  I……………. at  6 o'clock in this morning.     

Explanation

Jim's response "I... at 6 o'clock in this morning" indicates that he is talking about his own actions. The verb "get up" is the correct choice because it means to physically rise from a lying or sitting position, which is what Jim is referring to when he mentions waking up at 6 o'clock in the morning. The other options, "woke up," "gets up," and "wakes up," do not fit the context of Jim's response.

Submit
40. We use HAVE / HAS to express ability 

Explanation

The statement is false because we use "can" or "be able to" to express ability, not "have" or "has". "Have" and "has" are used to indicate possession or ownership.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is "His." In this sentence, the speaker is referring to their own son, so they would use the possessive pronoun "his" to indicate ownership.

Submit
44. Choose the synonym of: frighten

Explanation

The word "frighten" means to cause fear or make someone afraid. The synonym for "frighten" is "scary," as it also means something that causes fear or is frightening. The words "bad" and "dull" do not have the same meaning as "frighten" and are not synonyms for it.

Submit
45. A: Can you dance? 

Explanation

The given correct answer "Yes, I can." is a simple and direct response to the question "Can you dance?" It confirms that the person is able to dance.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is "are" because the subject "mice" is plural, indicating that there is more than one mouse in the house. Therefore, the verb "are" should be used to agree with the plural subject.

Submit
47. We use CAN to express possession 

Explanation

CAN is not used to express possession. Possession is typically expressed using the verb "have" or by using possessive pronouns such as "my," "your," "his," etc.

Submit
48. We have three____

Explanation

The correct answer is "children" because it is the plural form of "child". "Childs" and "childrens" are incorrect spellings, while "child" is the singular form of "children".

Submit
49. Choose the synonym of: Amusing

Explanation

The word "amusing" means something that is entertaining and brings laughter or enjoyment. The word "funny" also means something that is humorous or causes amusement. Therefore, "funny" is a synonym of "amusing".

Submit
50. We use HAS for the third singular person. 

Explanation

The statement is correct. In English, when referring to the third person singular (he, she, it), we use "has" instead of "have". This is a rule in subject-verb agreement, where the verb form changes depending on the subject. So, the correct answer is true.

Submit
51. We use THOSE for things far from us.

Explanation

"Those" is a demonstrative pronoun used to refer to objects or things that are farther away from the speaker or the person being addressed. It is the plural form of "that." Therefore, the statement is true as "those" is indeed used for things far from us.

Submit
52. I always like ____ with my friends in the afternoon.

Explanation

The correct answer is "to hang out" because it is the most appropriate phrase to use in the given context. "Hang out" means to spend time with friends in a casual and relaxed way, which aligns with the sentence mentioning spending time with friends in the afternoon. The other options, "to take" and "to send," do not convey the same meaning and would not make sense in this sentence.

Submit
53. I always ……………..a car twice a week.                

Explanation

The verb "wash" is the correct answer because it agrees with the subject "I" and is in the present tense. The sentence is stating that "I" washes a car twice a week.

Submit
54. The forest is ___ some people. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "home" because a forest is a natural habitat or dwelling place for many living organisms, including animals, birds, and insects.

Additionally, forests are often associated with feelings of tranquility, peace, and a sense of belonging, further emphasizing the connection between a forest and the concept of home.

Submit
55. Don't ___ at people. It's very rude!

Explanation

Staring at people is considered very rude. It is impolite to fixate one's gaze on someone for an extended period of time, as it can make them feel uncomfortable, violated, or judged. Instead, it is recommended to maintain respectful eye contact or look away when necessary.

Submit
56. ___ is a knife.

Explanation

The correct answer is "That" because it is used to refer to a specific object or person that is farther away from the speaker. In this case, "That" is used to indicate a specific knife that is being referred to.

Submit
57. Christina ____ twenty-nine years old. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "is" because it agrees with the subject "Christina" which is singular.

Submit
58. The cups are ___ the cupboard.

Explanation

The correct answer is "in" because it indicates that the cups are inside the cupboard.

Submit
59. The plural form of LEAVE is LEAVES.

Explanation

The plural form of the noun "leave" is "leaves." This is because "leave" follows the regular pluralization rule for nouns ending in a consonant sound, which is to add "-s" to the end. Therefore, when referring to multiple instances of "leave," we use the plural form "leaves."

Submit
60. Look up in the sky, is ___ a plane?

Explanation

The word "that" is the correct answer because it is used to refer to something that is further away from the speaker. In this context, the speaker is asking if there is a plane in the sky, which is something that is not close to them. Therefore, "that" is the appropriate word to use.

Submit
61. How's ___ going?

Submit
62. Are there ____ forks on the table?

Explanation

The word "any" is the correct answer because it is used to indicate an indefinite quantity or amount. In this context, it suggests that there may or may not be forks on the table, but regardless of the number, "any" can be used to inquire about it.

Submit
63. I _______ a bike on the last weekend.

Submit

Explanation

Submit
65. I and my friend ……………..our homework every day.                  

Explanation

The correct answer is "do." In this sentence, the subject "I and my friend" is plural, so the correct verb form to use is "do."

Submit
66.  Match the opposite of STRAIGHT  

Explanation

Submit

Submit
70. We use THAT for a thing near us.

Explanation

The statement suggests that "THAT" is used for a thing near us, which is incorrect. "THAT" is generally used to refer to something that is farther away from the speaker or the listener. The correct word to use for a thing near us would be "THIS". Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Submit
71. What is not an imperative form?

Explanation

The question asks for something that is not an imperative form. An imperative form is a type of sentence that gives a command or makes a request. "Talks" is not an imperative form because it is not a command or request, but rather a simple statement or description. Therefore, "Talks" is the correct answer.

Submit
72. Where's the _____ cleaner?

Explanation

The correct answer is "vacuum" because the question is asking for the location of a specific type of cleaner. The other options, "iron" and "washing," are not relevant to the question as they do not refer to a type of cleaner. Therefore, "vacuum" is the most appropriate answer.

Submit
