English Grammar Level Test

The word "when" is the correct answer because it indicates the specific time at which the accident happened while the girlfriend was waiting for the bus. It suggests a cause-and-effect relationship between the girlfriend waiting for the bus and the occurrence of the accident.

The reflexive pronoun "myself" is used when the subject of the sentence is also the object of the action. In this case, the speaker is the one performing the action (hurting) and also the one being affected by the action (being hurt). The other reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object are different people.

The correct answer is "since" because it is used to indicate the starting point of an action or event in the past that is still continuing in the present. In this case, the speaker has been living in Canada starting from the month of June and is still living there.

The word "if" is used to introduce an indirect question, which is a question that is reported or embedded within another sentence. In this case, John is asking an indirect question about Mary's intention to go to the meeting. The other options are not grammatically correct or do not fit the context of the sentence.

The present continuous tense ("are having") is used to describe an action that is happening right now. The sentence indicates that Jamie and Paul are currently in the process of eating dinner. The other options either describe actions that have already finished or are grammatically incorrect for the plural subject "Jamie and Paul."

: The sentence describes a past event with two actions happening simultaneously. The first action, snowing, was ongoing or in progress, which is best conveyed by the past continuous tense "was snowing." The second action, the taxis crashing, is a more sudden or completed event, so the simple past tense "crashed" is appropriate. This combination accurately depicts the scene: the taxis crashed while it was snowing.

 The past continuous tense ("were playing") is used to describe an action that was in progress when another action occurred in the past. In this case, the action of playing soccer was ongoing when the arrival happened. The other options are either grammatically incorrect or do not fit the context of the sentence.

The verb "enjoy" is typically followed by a gerund (a verb ending in "-ing") to indicate an activity that the subject finds pleasurable. In this case, "visiting museums" is the activity that the speaker enjoys while on vacation. The other options are grammatically incorrect or do not fit the context of the sentence.

The phrase "used to" is the correct choice to describe a habitual action in the past that no longer occurs. It indicates that taking the bus to work was a regular practice in the past, but the speaker has since switched to driving. The other options are grammatically incorrect or do not convey the intended meaning.

The correct answer is "I met Tommy yesterday" because the question is asking about the person that the speaker met yesterday. The pronoun "I" indicates that the speaker is referring to themselves, and "met Tommy" indicates that the speaker encountered or had a meeting with Tommy.

The present continuous tense ("are going") can be used to express future plans or arrangements, especially for events in the near future. In this case, the question asks about the listener's plans to attend Sue's party next Friday, indicating a future event that has likely been planned or discussed. "Will / go" could also be used, but "are / going" emphasizes the arrangement aspect of the future action.

The correct answer is "were sold" because the sentence is in the past tense and refers to an action that was completed in the past. "Were sold" is the past tense of the verb "to sell" and correctly indicates that the books were sold in the past.

The word "since" is used to indicate a specific point in time when an action or state began and continues to the present. In this case, the speaker has lived in Canada starting from June and is still living there. The other options are not grammatically correct or do not convey the intended meaning. "For" is used with a duration of time, "already" implies completion, and "yet" is used in negative sentences or questions.

The present perfect tense ("has been used") is the correct choice to describe an action that began in the past and continues to the present. The XIX century (19th century) is a period that began in the past and its influence extends to the present day, making the present perfect tense appropriate. The other options are grammatically incorrect.

The past tense ("was closed") is used in the indirect speech because the original statement was likely made in the past. Since the policeman was conveying information about the road's current state at that time, the past tense accurately reflects the situation. The other options are either grammatically incorrect or do not fit the context of the sentence.

The correct answer is "has / cleaned" because the sentence suggests that Anna has completed the action of cleaning the kitchen. "Has" is the present perfect tense of the verb "to have," and when combined with the past participle "cleaned," it indicates an action that occurred in the past but is still relevant to the present.

The correct answer is "been" because it is the past participle form of the verb "to be." In this question, we are asking if the person has ever visited or traveled to Portugal in the past. "Been" is the appropriate word to use to indicate that someone has had the experience of being in Portugal.

The correct answer is "had bruised." This is the correct past participle form of the verb "bruise" to match the past perfect tense of the sentence. The sentence indicates that the person had injured their knee a few days earlier and it was still causing pain.

The correct answer is "has / visited" because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, indicating an action that started in the past and has continued up until the present. "Has" is the correct form of the verb for the third person singular subject "Bellas Artes Palace," and "visited" is the correct past participle form of the verb "visit." This construction implies that many tourists have visited the Bellas Artes Palace at some point in the past and may still continue to do so.

The correct question is "How long do cats usually live?" because it follows the correct word order and grammar structure. The adverb "usually" is placed in the correct position, after the verb "live". The other options have incorrect word order or incorrect placement of the adverb, making them grammatically incorrect.
