Questions and Answers

1.

When I got to the office I realised I ________ my wallet at home. (leave)

Explanation
The correct answer is 'd left, had left. This is because the sentence is in the past tense and the word "realized" indicates a past event. The phrase "I had left" is used to indicate that the action of leaving the wallet at home occurred before the realization at the office. The contraction "'d" is a shortened form of "had" in this context.

I ________ her before, but I had never talked to her until today. (see)

Explanation
The sentence suggests that the speaker had seen the person in question before, but they had never spoken to her until today. The use of "had seen" in the past perfect tense indicates that the action of seeing her occurred before the action of talking to her. This implies that the speaker had some prior knowledge or familiarity with her, but they had not yet had a conversation until now.
