Basic 2, Quiz Unit 1(June)

The word "quarter" is the missing word to complete the time. In this context, "quarter" refers to a 15-minute increment after six o'clock. Therefore, the correct completion of the time is "It is a quarter after six."

The word "to" is missing to complete the time. The sentence "It is ten to three" indicates that it is ten minutes before three o'clock.

The statement is true because when referring to different parts of the day, we use "in" for the morning, afternoon, and evening. However, when referring to the night, we use "at" instead of "in." This is a common grammatical rule in English.

The given sentence "Now, I am cook some fish" is grammatically incorrect. The correct form would be "Now, I am cooking some fish." The verb "cook" should be in the present continuous tense, which is "cooking" in this case. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

The correct sentence is "I study in the mornings" because it correctly uses the preposition "in" to indicate the time period during which the studying takes place. The other sentences either use the incorrect preposition or omit it altogether.

When we talk about an action that happens regularly on specific days of the week like Saturdays, Mondays, etc., we use the plural form of the day of the week, followed by an "s" (e.g., Mondays, Tuesdays). This is because we are referring to multiple instances of the action happening on those specific days. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

The correct sentence is "I work on Mondays." This sentence is correct because it uses the preposition "on" to indicate the specific day of the week when the speaker works. The other sentences are incorrect because they use different prepositions ("the," "in," and "at") that are not commonly used to talk about days of the week.

The correct answer is "I'm not writing a card for a friend." This is the negative form of the sentence "I am writing a card for a friend." It uses the contraction "I'm" for "I am" and adds the word "not" to create the negative meaning.

The present continuous tense is used to describe actions that are happening at the moment of speaking, temporary situations, changing or developing situations, and fixed arrangements in the near future. This tense is used to talk about actions that are currently taking place or ongoing, such as "I am eating dinner right now." It is also used to describe temporary situations, such as "She is staying with us for the weekend." Additionally, the present continuous tense is used to discuss changing or developing situations, such as "The weather is getting colder." Lastly, it is used to talk about fixed arrangements in the near future, such as "We are meeting for lunch tomorrow."

The sentence "Every Tuesday I am swimming at the pool" is incorrect. The correct form should be "Every Tuesday I swim at the pool." The use of "am swimming" implies an ongoing action in the present, but the sentence is referring to a habitual action that occurs every Tuesday.

The given time expressions are all used to indicate actions or events that are happening or are planned to happen in the present or near future. "Now" refers to the current moment, "Tonight" refers to the evening of the current day, "Today" refers to the current day, "Tomorrow" refers to the day following the current day, and "At the moment" refers to the current period of time. These time expressions are commonly used with the present continuous tense to describe ongoing actions or future plans.
