    • ’re listening

    • Listened

    • Listen

    Correct Answer
    A. ’re listening

    • Am never been

    • Was never

    Correct Answer
    A. ’ve never been
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "’ve never been". This is the correct answer because it uses the contraction "’ve" which is short for "have" and is used to indicate a past experience or action. The phrase "never been" further emphasizes that the speaker has not had the experience of going to the USA.

    • Are

    • Is

    • Be

    Correct Answer
    A. Are
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Are". In this sentence, the subject is "apples" which is plural, so the verb should also be plural. "Are" is the correct plural form of the verb "to be" in this context.

    Correct Answer
    A. Than
    Explanation
    In this sentence, the word "than" is the correct answer because it is used to compare the speaker's age with that of their sister. The phrase "five years older" indicates that the speaker is comparing their age to their sister's age, and "than" is the appropriate word to use in this context.

    • Am having

    • Have

    How often _____ to the theatre?           

    • go you

    • Do you go

    • You go

    Correct Answer
    A. Do you go
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "do you go." This is because the question is asking about the frequency of going to the theater, which requires the use of the auxiliary verb "do" in order to form a question in the present simple tense. The subject "you" is placed after the auxiliary verb, and the main verb "go" is in its base form without any additional conjugation.

    Rate this question:

  • 9.

    • Eat

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "eaten". This is the correct form of the verb "eat" in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about past actions or experiences that are connected to the present. In this case, the question is asking if the person has ever had Mexican food in their life.

    • A

    • An

    • The

    Correct Answer
    A. An
    Explanation
    The word "an" is the correct answer because it is used before a word that starts with a vowel sound. In this case, "old" starts with the vowel sound "o", so "an" is used instead of "a".

    • Does

    • Has

    • Is

    Correct Answer
    A. Does
    Explanation

    • Don’t have

    • Didn’t had

    Correct Answer
    A. Didn’t have
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "didn't have". This is because the sentence is in the past tense and the word "didn't" is the negative form of the verb "did". The phrase "didn't have" indicates that they did not possess or offer burgers, but instead had fish and chips.

    Rate this question:

    • Lot

    • In

    • For

    • At

    Correct Answer

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    We _____ to Athens and then we drove to Piraeus.           

    • Flew

    • Flown

    • Flied

    Correct Answer
    A. Flew
    Explanation
    The verb "flew" is the correct answer because it is the past tense form of "fly." In the sentence, the speaker is mentioning a past action of traveling to Athens, which implies the use of an appropriate past tense verb. "Flown" is the past participle form of "fly" and is not suitable in this context. "Flied" is an incorrect form of the verb and does not exist in standard English grammar. Therefore, "flew" is the correct choice.

    Rate this question:

    • Are you going to do

    Correct Answer
    A. Are you going to do
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are you going to do". This is because the question is asking about future plans or activities that someone will do next weekend. The phrase "are you going to do" is the most appropriate and grammatically correct way to ask about someone's future plans.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    What do you want _____ this weekend?            

    • Doing

    • Do

    • To do

    Correct Answer
    A. To do
    Explanation
    The phrase "to do" is the correct answer because it is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence. In this question, the phrase "What do you want" suggests that the speaker is asking for the listener's preference or desire. The phrase "to do" is commonly used in this context to ask about someone's plans or activities for a specific time period, such as the weekend. Therefore, "to do" is the best option to complete the sentence grammatically and convey the intended meaning.

    Correct Answer
    A. Ever

    They _____ early at weekends.            

    • Haven’t got up

    • Aren’t getting up

    • Don’t get up

    Correct Answer
    A. Don’t get up
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "don't get up". This is because the sentence is talking about a habitual action that happens on weekends. The present simple tense "don't get up" is used to describe repeated or habitual actions, while the other options "haven't got up" and "aren't getting up" imply a specific or ongoing action, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
