Submit
5. What ....  they  ..... on TV now?

Explanation

The correct answer is "are...watching." This is because the question is asking about the present moment, so we need to use the present continuous tense. "Are" is the correct form of the auxiliary verb for the present continuous tense, and "watching" is the correct form of the main verb in the present continuous tense.

7. I.... really hard for my exam right now.

Explanation

The correct answer is "am studying." The sentence is in the present continuous tense, which is used to describe actions happening at the moment of speaking. In this case, the speaker is emphasizing that they are currently putting in a lot of effort to prepare for their exam. The verb "study" is conjugated with the helping verb "am" to indicate the present continuous tense.

Submit
8. What ... you ... last weekend?

Explanation

The correct answer is "did...do" because the question is asking about an action that happened in the past, specifically last weekend. In English, we use the auxiliary verb "did" to form questions and negatives in the past simple tense. Therefore, "did" is used to form the question and "do" is used as the main verb to complete the question.

Submit
9. After I come back from my trip, I...sleep for a long long time.

Explanation

The correct answer is "am going to". This is because the phrase "am going to" is used to express future plans or intentions. In the given sentence, the speaker is stating their intention to sleep for a long time after they come back from their trip.

Submit
10. They will meet her today ....

Explanation

The correct answer is "at the airport" because when we talk about meeting someone, we use the preposition "at" to indicate the location where the meeting will take place. In this case, the meeting is planned to happen at the airport. The other options are incorrect because "in the airport" implies being inside the airport building, "on the airport" does not make grammatical sense, and "at airport" is missing the definite article "the" before "airport."

Submit
11. I didn't do anything at the weekend. I just ..... for the exam.

Explanation

The correct answer is "studied" because the sentence is in the past tense and requires a verb in the past simple form to match the tense. "Studied" is the correct past simple form of the verb "study".

Submit
12. Those shoes are beautiful. Can I buy... please?

Explanation

The correct answer is "them" because the word "shoes" is plural, so we need a pronoun that also refers to multiple objects. "Them" is the appropriate pronoun in this case.

Submit
13. I .... it was your idea.

Explanation

The correct answer is "thought". In this sentence, the speaker is expressing their belief or assumption about something in the past. The verb "thought" is the past tense form of "think" and is the appropriate choice to convey this meaning.

The correct answer is "in three minutes". This phrase indicates that the train will depart after three minutes have passed.

15. Sarah .... in Lebanon, but she .... in Saudi Arabia.

Explanation

The correct answer is "was born...grew up." This is because the sentence is describing Sarah's past and present circumstances. "Was born" indicates that Sarah's birth occurred in the past, and "grew up" indicates that her upbringing happened over time. The verb tenses are consistent and accurately reflect the timeline of events.

Submit
16. The clock was very expensive, but I .... it and ... with me home.

Explanation

The correct answer is "bought....took." The sentence is in the past tense, so the correct verb forms should be in the past tense as well. "Bought" is the past tense of "buy," indicating that the speaker purchased the expensive clock. "Took" is the past tense of "take," indicating that the speaker brought the clock home with them.

Submit
17. Where .... you usually .... on holiday?

Explanation

The question is asking about the usual location for spending holidays. The correct answer is "do....stay" because it matches the subject "you" in the question. The verb "do" is used to form questions and the verb "stay" is the correct verb to indicate where someone typically spends their holidays.

Submit
18. In my bedroom, .... a bed, a chair, and a desk.

Explanation

The correct answer is "there's." This is because the sentence is referring to the objects in the bedroom using the contraction "there's," which is short for "there is." The singular form is used because the sentence lists the objects as a collective group.

Submit

Explanation

The question is asking about the past tense of the verb "go" in the context of the person's last holiday. The correct answer is "did...go" because it follows the correct structure for forming a question in the past tense using the auxiliary verb "did" and the base form of the main verb "go".
