  • 2. 

    I ______ twenty years old.

    • Is

    • Be

    • Am

    • Have

    Correct Answer
    A. Am
    Explanation
    The correct choice is "am" because it is the appropriate form of the verb "to be" for the first person singular subject "I." When stating one's age in English, we use "am" to indicate the present state or condition. The sentence "I am twenty years old" is a statement of fact about the subject's age. The other options—"is," "be," and "have"—are incorrect in this context because "is" is used for third-person singular subjects, "be" is an infinitive verb form, and "have" is used to express possession or specific actions.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    ______ the time? It's 9 o'clock.

    • What's

    • When's

    • How's

    • Where's

    Correct Answer
    A. What's
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "What's" because the question is asking for information about the time. "What's" is the contraction of "What is," which is commonly used to inquire about something, including the time. In English, when we want to know the time, we typically ask "What's the time?" The other options—"When's," "How's," and "Where's"—are incorrect because they are used to ask about different things, such as a specific time ("When"), a condition or situation ("How"), or a location ("Where"). Only "What's" fits the context of asking for the time.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    ______ you walk to school or do you take a bus?

    • Do

    • Are

    • Does

    • Is

    Correct Answer
    A. Do
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Do" because the subject "you" is plural, and questions with "you" require "do" in the present tense. "Do" is the auxiliary verb used to form yes/no questions and is followed by the base verb (walk) without any additional conjugation. The sentence "Do you walk to school or do you take a bus?" correctly asks about two possible actions. If the subject were singular, like "he," the verb "does" would be used, but since "you" is the subject, "do" is the appropriate choice.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What is the past tense of place?

    • Placed

    • Plased

    • Plasis

    • Placing

    Correct Answer
    A. Placed
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "placed" because it is the past tense of the verb "place." In English, regular verbs are conjugated into the past tense by adding "-ed" to the base form. The verb "place" follows this regular pattern, becoming "placed" in the past tense. This form is used to describe actions that occurred in the past. The other options—"plased," "plasis," and "placing"—are incorrect because they do not follow the standard rules of English verb conjugation for the past tense.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Choose the correct punctuation: My favorite color is blue ______

    • .

    • ,

    • ?

    • !

    Correct Answer
    A. .
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the period (".") because the sentence is a simple statement, which requires a period at the end. Punctuation marks are essential in writing to clarify the meaning and function of a sentence. A period is used to conclude declarative sentences, which make statements. In this case, the sentence, "My favorite color is blue," is a straightforward statement, and the period serves to indicate that the sentence has ended. Other punctuation marks such as commas, question marks, and exclamation marks are used in different sentence structures.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    ______ are ten students in my class.

    • Their

    • There

    • These

    • Them

    Correct Answer
    A. There
    Explanation
    The correct word to use in this sentence is "there." "There" is an adverb that is often used to indicate the existence or presence of something. In this context, it introduces the number of students present in the class. The other options are incorrect: "Their" is a possessive pronoun, used to show ownership (e.g., "their books"), "These" is a demonstrative pronoun, used to point to specific things (e.g., "these shoes"), and "Them" is an object pronoun (e.g., "Give the book to them"). Therefore, "there" is the correct word to use.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What is the verb in the this sentence?   "I ran out of the room."

    • I

    • Out

    • Room

    • Ran

    Correct Answer
    A. Ran
    Explanation
    The verb in the sentence is "ran." A verb is an action word, and in this sentence, "ran" describes the action performed by the subject "I." The subject "I" is the one carrying out the action of running, which is captured by the verb "ran." In English, verbs are essential to forming sentences because they convey the actions or states of the subject. The other words—"I," "out," and "room"—are not verbs. "I" is the subject, "out" is an adverb, and "room" is a noun.


     

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Many people say that Venice is ______ city in the world.

    • More beautiful

    • The most beautiful

    • Most beautiful

    • Beautiful

    Correct Answer
    A. The most beautiful
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the most beautiful" because Venice is being compared to all other cities in the world. The superlative form "the most beautiful" expresses that Venice holds the highest degree of beauty among all cities. This is a subjective but common opinion, especially due to the city’s famous canals and historic architecture. "More beautiful" would only work if comparing two cities, while "most beautiful" applies when ranking more than two, and "beautiful" is just a simple adjective that lacks comparison.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    ______ he understand English?

    • Do

    • Does

    • Is

    • Are

    Correct Answer
    A. Does
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Does" because the subject is "he," which is third-person singular. In questions, when the subject is third-person singular (he, she, it), we use "does" as the auxiliary verb. "Does" is used to form yes/no questions in the present tense. "Do" is used with plural subjects or "I" and "you," but "does" is the correct choice for singular subjects like "he." The sentence "Does he understand English?" is grammatically correct and appropriately forms a question about someone's ability to understand English.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    What ______ now?

    • Do

    • You doing

    • You do

    • Are you doing

    Correct Answer
    A. Are you doing
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are you doing." The sentence is asking about an action happening right now, and this requires the present continuous tense. The present continuous is formed with the auxiliary verb "are" and the "-ing" form of the verb. In this case, the verb "do" becomes "doing." The sentence "What are you doing now?" is a correct question asking about someone's current activity. The structure "are you doing" is used for questions about present actions in progress, making it the grammatically correct choice.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    We ______ from Paris.

    • Don't

    • Isn't

    • Wasn't

    • Aren't

    Correct Answer
    A. Aren't
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "aren't," which is the contraction of "are not." In this sentence, "we" is a plural subject, so it requires the verb "are" to form the negative. The structure "we aren't from Paris" tells us that the subject, "we," does not originate from Paris. The other options don't work here: "don't" is used for actions, "isn't" and "wasn't" are for singular or past tense, respectively. "Aren't" is grammatically correct for negating the present tense statement for the plural subject "we."

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    At the moment I ______ in Italy.

    • Am studying

    • Study

    • Studying

    • Studies

    Correct Answer
    A. Am studying
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "am studying." This is because the sentence refers to an action happening at the current moment. The present continuous tense (am + verb-ing) is used to describe actions that are occurring now. Since the subject is "I," the auxiliary verb "am" is needed, followed by the base verb "study" in its continuous form. "Am studying" indicates an ongoing activity that is taking place as the speaker speaks.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Hyde Park is ______ biggest park in London.

    • -

    • A

    • The

    • An

    Correct Answer
    A. The
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the." "The" is a definite article used to refer to a specific or known noun, and in this case, it points to the unique "biggest park in London." Hyde Park is a particular park, so "the" is used to specify that it is the largest one in the city. The other options, "a" and "an," are indefinite articles that would be used to refer to non-specific or general items, which is not appropriate for describing a specific, well-known park like Hyde Park.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Europe is ______ smallest continent on Earth.

    • An

    • A

    • The

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the" because "the smallest" refers to a specific superlative adjective describing Europe. The definite article "the" is used before superlatives to indicate that Europe is the one and only smallest continent on Earth. Without "the," the sentence would be incomplete or inaccurate. "A" or "an" would not work here because they are indefinite articles, and Europe is a specific, known continent, so "the" is necessary. "An" would also be grammatically incorrect as it is used before words starting with a vowel sound.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    He ______ to London last week.

    • Has gone

    • Went

    • Did go

    • Goes

    Correct Answer
    A. Went
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "went." This is because the sentence refers to an action that occurred in the past, specifically "last week." "Went" is the simple past tense form of the verb "to go," which is used to describe actions that were completed at a specific time in the past. In this case, "last week" indicates the past time reference. "Has gone" refers to actions that have a connection to the present, which is not the case here, and "did go" is incorrect without context for emphasis.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    He ______ three chocolates a day.

    • Eats

    • Is eating

    • Eating

    • Eat

    Correct Answer
    A. Eats
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "eats" because it is the present simple tense form of the verb "to eat," which is used to describe a habitual action or a general truth. The sentence indicates that the person regularly consumes three chocolates a day, which is a recurring action. The present simple tense is used to express actions that are habitual or factual. The other options—"is eating," "eating," and "eat"—do not fit the context. "Is eating" is present continuous, used for actions happening right now, while "eating" and "eat" are not grammatically correct in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    What is the plural form of knife?

    • Knifes

    • Knives

    • Nifes

    • Nives

    Correct Answer
    A. Knives
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "knives" because when forming the plural of the word "knife," the letter "f" changes to "v," and the plural suffix "-s" is added. This is a common rule in English grammar for nouns that end in "f" or "fe," where the "f" is replaced with "v" before adding the plural "s." This rule helps maintain the phonetic consistency of the word, making it easier to pronounce. "Knifes," "nifes," and "nives" are incorrect forms of the plural for "knife."

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    What is the verb in the this sentence? "I set the glass on the table."

    • Glass

    • Set

    • On

    • Table

    Correct Answer
    A. Set
    Explanation
    The verb in this sentence is "set." A verb represents an action or state of being, and in this case, "set" describes the action that the subject "I" is performing. The sentence indicates that the person is placing the glass on the table, and the action of placing is captured by the verb "set." The other options ("glass," "on," and "table") are not verbs. "Glass" is a noun, "on" is a preposition, and "table" is also a noun, making them grammatically unrelated to the verb in the sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    She ______ a new book yesterday.

    • Buy

    • Buys

    • Bought

    • Buying

    Correct Answer
    A. Bought
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "bought" because the sentence describes an action that happened in the past. In English, past tense verbs are used to indicate actions that occurred in the past, and "bought" is the past tense of the verb "buy." The sentence's context clearly refers to an event that happened yesterday, which signals the use of the past tense. "Buy" and "buys" are in the present tense, while "buying" is the present participle, making "bought" the appropriate choice for a past event.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Which of the followings is a complete sentence?

    • Running fast

    • He runs fast.

    • Quickly runs

    • The fast run

    Correct Answer
    A. He runs fast.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "He runs fast" because it is the only option that forms a grammatically correct and complete sentence. A complete sentence must have a subject and a verb that makes sense on its own. In this case, "He" is the subject, and "runs fast" is the predicate. The other options do not form a complete thought: "Running fast" is a fragment, "Quickly runs" is awkward, and "The fast run" lacks a verb. A complete sentence needs both a subject and a verb to express a complete idea.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    It ______ when I left home this morning.

    • Was snowing

    • Was snow 

    • Is snowing

    • Snows

    Correct Answer
    A. Was snowing
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "was snowing." The sentence refers to an action that was happening at a specific moment in the past, which is described using the past continuous tense. "Was snowing" is the past continuous form of the verb "snow," indicating that the snow was actively falling when the speaker left home. The other choices, such as "was snow," are grammatically incorrect, while "snows" and "is snowing" describe habitual actions or present actions, respectively, which don't fit the context.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    I ______ you should buy him a tie.

    • Thinking

    • Think

    • Thought

    • Thinks

    Correct Answer
    A. Think
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "think." The sentence is in the present tense, and "think" is the correct form of the verb when the subject is "I." In English, the verb "think" is used to express an opinion or suggestion in the present tense. The other options, such as "thinking," are incorrect because they do not match the subject-verb agreement for the present tense, and "thought" and "thinks" are not appropriate for "I."

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    Paul ______ like eating breakfast.

    • Don't

    • Isn't

    • Doesn't

    • Aren't

    Correct Answer
    A. Doesn't
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "doesn't," which is the contracted form of "does not." In English, when negating a verb in the present tense for third-person singular subjects like "Paul," we use "doesn't." "Don't" is used with first and second-person subjects (I, you, we, they), while "doesn't" is specific to third-person singular (he, she, it). Therefore, the sentence "Paul doesn't like eating breakfast" correctly reflects the negative statement about his preference. The structure ensures subject-verb agreement in the present tense.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    Choose the correct form of the verb: He ______ to school every day.

    • Go

    • Goes

    • Going

    • Gone

    Correct Answer
    A. Goes
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "goes" because it is the proper verb form to use when describing a habitual action in the present tense for the third-person singular subject "He." In English, verbs change according to the subject of the sentence. For singular subjects such as "he," "she," or "it," the verb typically takes an "s" or "es" at the end. In this case, the verb "go" becomes "goes" when used with the third-person singular subject. The sentence describes an action that occurs regularly, so the present simple tense is appropriate.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    Which word is a noun?

    • Jump

    • Running

    • Dog

    • Quickly

    Correct Answer
    A. Dog
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Dog" because it is a noun. Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. In this case, "Dog" is a concrete noun that names a specific animal. The other options are not nouns: "Jump" is a verb, describing an action; "Running" is a verb form (present participle), indicating an action; and "Quickly" is an adverb, which modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Recognizing the role of words in a sentence helps identify the parts of speech, and "Dog" functions as the noun in this list.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    It's a pleasure ______ you again after so long!

    • See

    • To be seeing

    • To see

    • To have seen

    Correct Answer
    A. To see
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "to see." The phrase "It's a pleasure" is always followed by an infinitive verb form, as it expresses a sense of joy or anticipation toward an action that has yet to occur. In this case, the speaker is expressing pleasure about the upcoming meeting. The infinitive "to see" conveys the idea of future action. Using "to be seeing" or "to have seen" would imply an ongoing or completed action, which does not fit the context of expressing pleasure about an event that will happen shortly.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    Your camera is broken. I ___ you mine.

    • Give

    • Will give

    • Am going to give

    • To give

    Correct Answer
    A. Will give
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "will give" because it expresses a future action. The speaker is offering to give their camera to the other person, indicating that the action will happen in the future. The use of "will" in English signals the future tense, making it appropriate for promises or spontaneous decisions. "Am going to give" might also work, but "will give" sounds more natural and certain in this context. The other options are incorrect because they do not express the future intention as clearly.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    The colours of ______ Russian flag are red, blue and white.

    • The

    • A

    • An

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the" because it refers to a specific item—the Russian flag. "The" is a definite article, used when talking about something specific that is already known to both the speaker and listener. In this case, it is clear that the Russian flag is being referenced. Using "a" or "an" would suggest an indefinite, non-specific flag, which is incorrect. "The" specifies that the speaker is referring to a particular flag with distinct, known colors, making it the appropriate choice.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    How ______ is this book for?

    • Many

    • Cost

    • Price

    • Much

    Correct Answer
    A. Much
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "much," as it is used for uncountable nouns like "cost" or "price." "Much" is typically used when referring to the amount or quantity of something that cannot be counted individually. In this context, the question is asking about the price of the book, which is an uncountable noun. "Many" is used for countable items, and "cost" and "price" are nouns, so they don't fit grammatically as adverbs or adjectives in this question. Therefore, "How much is this book for?" is the correct phrasing.

    Rate this question:

  • 31. 

    When ______ the party?

    • Have you left

    • You left

    • Did you leave

    • You leave

    Correct Answer
    A. Did you leave
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "did you leave." This is because the question is asking about a past event, and "did" is the auxiliary verb used to form questions in the simple past tense. In English, when asking a question about the past, the auxiliary verb "did" is used, and the main verb (in this case "leave") is left in its base form. The sentence asks about a specific action that took place, and "did you leave" is the proper structure for past tense questions.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    He ___ in the pool for half an hour.

    • Swam

    • Has swam

    • Has been swimming

    • Swim

    Correct Answer
    A. Has been swimming
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "has been swimming" because it uses the present perfect continuous tense, which is used to describe an action that started in the past and is still ongoing or has recently finished. The use of "has been swimming" emphasizes the duration of the activity and the fact that it has been happening up to the present moment. The other options, such as "swam" or "has swam," are incorrect because they do not convey the ongoing nature of the action.

    Rate this question:

  • 33. 

    It's ______ film I've ever seen.

    • Saddest

    • The most sad

    • The saddest

    • Sadder

    Correct Answer
    A. The saddest
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the saddest." This is because the sentence is making a comparison of sadness between different films, and when making comparisons using adjectives, we need to use the superlative form. "Saddest" is the superlative form of "sad," indicating that this film is the most sad out of all the films the speaker has seen. "The most sad" is incorrect because "saddest" is the proper superlative form. The options "sadder" or "the most sad" do not fit as they indicate a lesser degree of comparison.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    My brother ______ travel a lot in his job.

    • Has to

    • Must

    • Should

    • Can

    Correct Answer
    A. Has to
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "has to" because it expresses a necessity or obligation. "Has to" indicates that my brother is required to travel frequently as part of his job. This choice suggests an external requirement or a duty that is not optional. The other options, like "must," "should," and "can," are incorrect because they do not convey the same degree of obligation. "Has to" is the most accurate in this context, as it highlights the expectation that traveling is an integral part of his work responsibilities.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    I must ______ the telephone bill tomorrow.

    • Be paying

    • Pay

    • To pay

    • Have paid

    Correct Answer
    A. Pay
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "pay" because after the modal verb "must," the verb that follows should always be in its base form. "Must" indicates a strong obligation or necessity, so "pay" is the proper verb form. The sentence means that it is essential for the speaker to settle the bill tomorrow. Other choices like "be paying" or "to pay" are incorrect because the base form of the verb is required after modals like "must." "Have paid" is also not appropriate since the sentence refers to a future action, not a completed one.

    Rate this question:

  • 36. 

    If I were you, I ______ apologise.

    • Will

    • Would

    • Have

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Would
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "would." This sentence is an example of a hypothetical situation, which requires the use of the subjunctive mood. "If I were you" sets up an unreal condition, and "would" is used to describe the action that would happen if the condition were true. "Will" is incorrect because it is used for real future situations, not hypothetical ones. "Have" would be used for past actions, and leaving the blank empty would make the sentence incomplete, lacking the necessary auxiliary verb to indicate a hypothetical action.

    Rate this question:

  • 37. 

    They ___ some extra staff next week.

    • Will have employed

    • Employed

    • Are going to employ

    • Employ

    Correct Answer
    A. Are going to employ
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are going to employ" because "are going to" indicates a planned or intended future action. This construction is used when something has been decided or planned and is expected to happen soon. The other options, such as "will have employed" or "employed," don’t work here because they do not properly convey the planned nature of the action in the near future. "Are going to employ" is the most accurate form for this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    When the children ______ home, it was obvious that they had been playing in the mud.

    • Were arriving

    • Arrived

    • Had arrived

    • Arrive

    Correct Answer
    A. Arrived
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "arrived." The sentence describes a past event when the children arrived home, and "arrived" is the correct past tense form of the verb "arrive." The other options are incorrect because "were arriving" suggests an ongoing action, "had arrived" would indicate the arrival happened before another event, and "arrive" is the present tense, which doesn't fit with the past context.

    Rate this question:

  • 39. 

    This time next week we ___ around Asia.

    • Will be traveling

    • Will travel

    • Are traveling

    • Will have traveled

    Correct Answer
    A. Will be traveling
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "will be traveling" because it uses the future continuous tense, which is used to describe an action that will be ongoing at a specific point in the future. The phrase "This time next week" suggests that the action will be happening at that moment, and the future continuous tense ("will be traveling") fits perfectly. The other options, such as "will travel" or "are traveling," are incorrect because they don’t emphasize the ongoing nature of the action at a specific future time.

    Rate this question:

  • 40. 

    Some people are ______ than others.

    • More stronger

    • Stronger

    • The strongest

    • More strong

    Correct Answer
    A. Stronger
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "stronger" because when comparing two or more things, we use the comparative form of adjectives. "Stronger" is the comparative form of "strong," and it is used here to show that some people possess more strength than others. The phrase "more stronger" is incorrect because "stronger" already indicates the comparison, making "more" unnecessary. The superlative "the strongest" would be used if comparing more than two or three things or people, but here we are making a comparison between just two or more individuals.

    Rate this question:

  • 41. 

    The town ______ by the hurricane.

    • Has destroyed

    • Has been destroying

    • Has been destroyed

    • Is being destroyed

    Correct Answer
    A. Has been destroyed
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "has been destroyed." This sentence uses the present perfect passive tense, which is used to describe an action that occurred in the past and still has relevance to the present. "Has been destroyed" tells us that the hurricane caused the destruction, and the town remains affected. The other options are incorrect because "has destroyed" is active (it would be used if the town were doing the action), "has been destroying" is continuous, and "is being destroyed" is in the present continuous, which doesn't fit with the intended context.

    Rate this question:

  • 42. 

    My aunt ______ with us this week.

    • Will staying

    • Staying

    • Is staying

    • Stay

    Correct Answer
    A. Is staying
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is staying" because the sentence is referring to an action that is happening in the present. The present continuous tense is used for actions that are in progress or temporary situations. "Is staying" indicates that the aunt's stay with us is happening now and is a temporary arrangement. The use of "will staying" or "staying" is incorrect as they don’t follow the proper structure of the continuous tense. "Is staying" is the correct form in this context, matching both tense and subject agreement.

    Rate this question:

  • 43. 

    Two new schools ______ in our area.

    • Will built

    • Will be built

    • Will have been built

    • Will be building

    Correct Answer
    A. Will be built
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "will be built." This construction uses the future passive voice, indicating that two new schools will be constructed in the future, but the sentence doesn’t specify who will do the building. Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action itself rather than who is performing it. "Will built" is incorrect because the verb "built" should be in its past participle form in passive voice. "Will have been built" refers to something completed before a certain time, which is not appropriate here.

    Rate this question:

  • 44. 

    What time ______ home from work?

    • Have you got

    • Did you get

    • You got

    • Did you got

    Correct Answer
    A. Did you get
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "did you get." This question is asking about a past event, specifically when the person arrived home from work. In English, when asking about a past action, we use "did" as the auxiliary verb. The main verb "get" remains in its base form. "Did you get" correctly forms the question in the simple past tense, and the other options are incorrect because they either omit or incorrectly modify the auxiliary verb "did."

    Rate this question:

  • 45. 

    The storm ______ when they were driving home.

    • Was started

    • Started

    • Had started

    • Did start

    Correct Answer
    A. Started
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "started." The sentence uses the past simple tense, which describes a completed action at a specific point in the past. The use of "when" indicates the storm began during the action of them driving home. "Started" is the simple past form of the verb "start," which is appropriate to indicate a completed event. The other options, such as "had started," are more suitable for expressing an action that occurred before another past event, but here, the action is simultaneous.

    Rate this question:

  • 46. 

    How many people ______ to the party?

    • Going

    • Did go

    • Went

    • Did went

    Correct Answer
    A. Went
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "went" because the sentence asks about a past event, and "went" is the past tense of "go." The question inquires about the number of people who attended the party, which happened in the past. The other options, such as "going" or "did go," are incorrect because "going" is a present participle and "did go" is redundant in this context. The past simple form "went" is the most accurate way to describe an event that happened before the current moment.

    Rate this question:

  • 47. 

    You ______ come to school in time.

    • Should

    • May

    • Might

    • Must

    Correct Answer
    A. Must
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "must" because it indicates a strong obligation or necessity. "Must" is used when there is a requirement or a firm expectation, meaning the person is required to come to school on time. It expresses the urgency and importance of arriving punctually. Other modal verbs like "should," "may," or "might" imply lesser degrees of necessity or possibility, making them less appropriate in this context. "Must" is the best choice to convey that coming on time is a strict requirement.

    Rate this question:

  • 48. 

    What is the helping verb in the this sentence? "Sidney has helped stray cats before."

    • Has

    • Helped

    • Stray

    • Sidney

    Correct Answer
    A. Has
    Explanation
    The helping verb in this sentence is "has." A helping verb is used in combination with the main verb to form different tenses, aspects, or voices. In this case, "has" helps form the present perfect tense, indicating that the action of helping stray cats occurred in the past but is still relevant in the present. The verb "helped" is the main verb, while "has" modifies it to show that the action is completed but has present relevance. The other options—"helped," "stray," and "Sidney"—are not helping verbs.


     

    Rate this question:

  • 49. 

    The meeting will start when everybody ___

    • Arrive

    • Arrives

    • Arrived

    • Would have arrived

    Correct Answer
    A. Arrives
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "arrives" because "everybody" is a singular subject, and in English, the present simple tense is used for future events that are dependent on certain conditions. The verb "arrive" needs to be in the third-person singular form, "arrives," to match the subject "everybody." This is a standard rule in English grammar when talking about scheduled events or future actions that are triggered by another event. The other options are incorrect because they do not use the correct form for a singular subject.
