10. The pilot works in hospital and helps doctors

Explanation

The given statement is "The pilot works in hospital and helps doctors." This statement is false because pilots typically work in the aviation industry, specifically in the field of flying aircraft. They are responsible for operating and navigating airplanes, helicopters, or other aircraft. Their primary role is to ensure the safety and smooth operation of the aircraft, not to assist doctors in a hospital setting.

Submit

A lawyer is a legal professional who represents and defends individuals in court. They advocate for their clients' rights and ensure that they receive a fair trial. Through their expertise in law and legal procedures, lawyers provide legal advice, prepare legal documents, and present arguments in court. Their primary objective is to protect and uphold the rights of their clients within the legal system. Therefore, the statement "The lawyer defends people's rights in court" is true.

Submit

Submit
13. Every Monday, Sally __________________ (drive) her kids to football practice.

The correct answer is "drives" because the sentence is in the present tense and refers to a habitual action that occurs every Monday. The verb "drive" needs to be conjugated in the third person singular form, which is "drives" in this case.

Submit
14. Usually, I ____________________ (work) as a secretary.

Submit
16. I'm sorry I can't hear what you ____________________ (say).

Explanation

The correct answer is "are saying,'re saying". In this sentence, the speaker is apologizing for not being able to hear what the other person is saying. The use of "can't hear" indicates a present inability to perceive sound, so the present continuous tense "are saying" is appropriate. Additionally, the contraction "'re" is used as a shortened form of "are" in informal speech.

Submit
17. It's so noisy here. Everybody ____________________ (talk) so loudly. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "is talking,'s talking". In this sentence, the verb "talk" is referring to the ongoing, continuous action of people speaking loudly. The use of the present continuous tense "is talking" indicates that the action is happening at the present moment. The contraction "'s" is a shortened form of "is" and is used to show possession or a characteristic. In this case, it is used to indicate that the loud talking is a characteristic of everybody in the noisy environment.

Submit
18. There __________________ (be) a bank in a nearby town.

Explanation

The given sentence is in the present tense and describes a fact or a situation that exists currently. Therefore, the correct form of the verb "be" to use in this sentence is "is."

Submit
19. James __________________ (have) to take the bus to get to the store. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "has" because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "James" is singular. In the present tense, the third person singular subjects (he, she, it) require the verb form "has" instead of "have".

Submit
20. The bus __________________ (leave) at 5:30 in the morning.

Explanation

The correct answer is "leaves" because the word "leaves" is the correct present tense form of the verb "leave" when used with the pronoun "bus". In this sentence, "leaves" indicates that the bus departs or starts its journey at 5:30 in the morning.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer for this question is "does not like" or "doesn't like". Both of these options indicate that James has a dislike for spending a lot of time waiting for the bus. The use of "does not" or "doesn't" in combination with "like" shows that James has a negative feeling towards this particular activity.

Submit
22. I __________________ (return) at 8:15 in the evening every day.

Explanation

The correct answer is "return" because the sentence is in the present tense and the verb "return" is the correct form to use with the subject "I". Additionally, the sentence mentions a specific time "8:15 in the evening" which suggests a habitual action.

Submit
23. My grand-parents __________________ (live) in town. 

Explanation

The verb "live" is the correct answer because it agrees with the subject "grandparents" in the present tense. This indicates that the grandparents currently reside in town.

Explanation

Peter usually wears jeans and t-shirts. This sentence is in the simple present tense, which is used to talk about habitual or repeated actions. The verb "wear" is conjugated to match the subject "Peter" in the third person singular form, which is "wears". Therefore, the correct answer is "wears".

Submit
26. The actor takes people's orders in a restaurant and serves them food

Explanation

The given statement is "The actor takes people's orders in a restaurant and serves them food." The correct answer is False.

Submit

Submit
28. The nurse does the cooking in a restaurant or hotel.

Explanation

The statement says that the nurse does the cooking in a restaurant or hotel, which is not true.

Submit
29. The actress is a woman who plays a role in a movie

30.  Now I __________________________ (study) French at a language school in Paris. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "am studying," 'm studying. Both options are correct because they both use the present continuous tense to describe an ongoing action of studying French at a language school in Paris. The use of "am studying" is more formal and commonly used in written English, while "'m studying" is a contraction of "I am studying" and is more commonly used in spoken English.

Submit
31. Shhhhh! Be quiet! John ____________________ (sleep). 

Explanation

The correct answer is "is sleeping,'s sleeping". Both options are correct because they both indicate the present continuous tense, which is used to describe an action that is happening at the moment of speaking. "Is sleeping" is the full form, while "'s sleeping" is the contraction of "is sleeping". Both forms are commonly used in spoken English.

Submit
32. Don't forget to take your umbrella. It ____________________ (rain).

Explanation

The correct answer is "is raining" or "'s raining" because both options indicate that it is currently raining. The use of "is" or "'s" (contraction of "is") with the verb "raining" indicates the present continuous tense, which is used to describe actions happening at the moment of speaking. Therefore, either option would be a suitable response to the statement reminding someone to take their umbrella.

Submit
33. In the future, James __________________ (want) to become a banker. 

Explanation

In the given sentence, the subject "James" is referring to a person in the future. The verb "want" is used in the present tense to express a desire or intention for the future. Therefore, the correct form of the verb to use is "wants," which agrees with the subject "James."

Submit
34. This week he __________________ (stay) with his aunt.

Explanation

The correct answer is "is staying" because it is the present continuous tense form of the verb "stay." It indicates that the action of staying with his aunt is happening at the present moment.

Submit

39. Peter ______________ (work) at the bank now.

Explanation

The correct answer is "works" because the sentence is in the present tense and refers to a singular subject, Peter.

Explanation

The correct answer is "to have." In this sentence, the phrase "to have" is used to express the purpose or intention of stopping.

Similarly, the phrase "to have a rest" is the most appropriate choice as it indicates their intention to stop and take a rest due to tiredness.
