    ___________ lots of animals in the zoo.

    • There

    • There are

    • There is

    • There aren't

    Correct Answer
    A. There are
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "there are" because it is the appropriate verb form to match with the subject "lots of animals." "There is" would be used if the subject were singular, but since it is plural, "there are" is the correct choice. "There aren't" would be used if the sentence were negative, but in this case, it is positive.

    Today is Wednesday. Yesterday it ___________ Tuesday.

    • Were

    • Be

    • Is

    • Was

    Correct Answer
    A. Was
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "was" because when referring to the past, we use the past tense of the verb "to be." Since today is Wednesday and yesterday is in the past, we would say "Yesterday it was Tuesday."

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    How many people ___________ in your family?

    • Are there

    • Is there

    • There are

    • There

    Correct Answer
    A. Are there
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are there" because the question is asking about the number of people in the family, which is plural. Therefore, the verb "are" should be used to agree with the plural subject "people."

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Has Steve got a sister?" "No, he ___________, but he's got 2 brothers."

    • Has

    • Hasn't

    • Haven't

    • Not

    Correct Answer
    A. Hasn't
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "hasn't". This is because the question asks if Steve has a sister, and the response states that he does not have a sister but he does have 2 brothers. "Hasn't" is the contraction of "has not", indicating the absence of a sister in Steve's family.

    • Speaking

    • Is

    • Are

    • Do

    • Does

    Correct Answer
    A. Does

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

     ___________ to London on the train yesterday?

    • Did mary went

    • Did mary go

    • Mary go

    • Mary goes

    Correct Answer
    A. Did mary go
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "did Mary go." This is because the question is asking about Mary's action of going to London on the train yesterday. In English, when forming a question in the past tense, we use the auxiliary verb "did" followed by the subject "Mary" and the base form of the main verb "go."
