    • Always

    • Yet

    • Since

    • For

    Correct Answer
    A. Yet
    Explanation
    "Yet" is the correct answer because it is used to ask if someone has completed a task up until the present moment. In this question, "yet" is used to inquire if the person has finished their homework. The word "yet" implies that the completion of the homework is expected, but the speaker is unsure if it has been done at the current time.

    Rate this question:

  • 3.

    • For

    • Since

    • Yet

    • Already

    Correct Answer
    A. Since
    Explanation
    The word "since" is the correct answer because it indicates a specific point in time when the lockdown started. It implies that the lockdown began in 2020 and has been ongoing since then. The word "since" is commonly used to refer to a starting point in the past that continues to the present.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    On minute 1:35 "You flew me over the great wall" is a statement in

    • Present perfect

    • Simple Past

    Correct Answer
    A. Simple Past
    Explanation
    The statement "You flew me over the great wall" indicates a specific action that happened in the past, without any connection to the present. Therefore, it is in the Simple Past tense.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    I have _____________ been empathic with the people.

    • Always

    • Yet

    • Since

    • For

    Correct Answer
    A. Always
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Always" because it indicates that the person has consistently shown empathy towards others. This suggests that empathy is a characteristic or behavior that the person possesses consistently, without any exceptions or lapses.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Have you already done your homework? Is a statement on present perfect tense

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement "Have you already done your homework?" is in the present perfect tense. This tense is used to talk about an action that started in the past and has a connection to the present. In this case, the action of doing the homework started in the past and is still relevant at the time of speaking. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    On minute 00:58, she does the following question...

    • Did we met before?

    • Have we met before?

    Correct Answer
    A. Have we met before?
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Have we met before?" because the verb "met" should be in the present perfect tense to indicate a past action that is relevant to the present. The question is asking about a previous encounter, and the present perfect tense is used to talk about experiences or actions that happened at an indefinite time in the past. "Did we met before?" is grammatically incorrect as the past tense "did" should be followed by the base form of the verb "meet" instead of the past tense "met".

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The auxiliar HAS is used in present perfect for 3rd person

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the auxiliary verb "has" is indeed used in the present perfect tense when referring to the third person singular subjects. In English grammar, the present perfect tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "has" with the past participle of the main verb. For example, "He has eaten dinner." Here, "has" is used to indicate that the action of eating dinner was completed in the past but has a connection to the present.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    She won't go to the party because she got a cold is a statement in:

    • Future tense (negative)

    • Basic English

    • Present Perfect

    Correct Answer
    A. Future tense (negative)
    Explanation
    The statement "She won't go to the party because she got a cold" is in the future tense (negative) because it uses the modal verb "won't" to indicate a future action that will not happen. The use of "got" in the past tense indicates that she already caught a cold, further emphasizing that she will not be able to attend the party in the future.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    On minute 1:20, she says the following question

    • Did you drive a taxi in Egypt?

    • Have you ever driven a taxi in Egypt?

    Correct Answer
    A. Have you ever driven a taxi in Egypt?
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Have you ever driven a taxi in Egypt?" because the question is asking about past experiences. The phrase "have you ever" indicates that the person is asking whether the individual has had the experience of driving a taxi in Egypt at any point in their life.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    The auxiliar WILL is always used in future tense

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The auxiliary verb "will" is indeed used to form the future tense in English. It is commonly used to indicate actions or events that will happen after the present time. The verb "will" is used before the base form of the main verb to express future actions or states. For example, "I will go to the beach tomorrow." Therefore, the statement "The auxiliar WILL is always used in future tense" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    My mother has been an enthusiastic ______ all her life.

    • SINCE

    • FOR

    Correct Answer
    A. FOR
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "FOR". The word "FOR" indicates a duration of time and is used to express an action that has been happening continuously over a period of time. In this context, it suggests that the speaker's mother has been enthusiastic throughout her entire life. The word "SINCE" would imply a specific point in time when her enthusiasm started, which is not the intended meaning here.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    I haven't gone to New York _________, but I've ____________ always wanted to visit the city.

    • Since / For

    • For / Since

    • Yet / always

    • Alaways / yet

    Correct Answer
    A. Yet / always
    Explanation
    The word "yet" is used to express something that has not happened up to a certain point in time. In this sentence, the speaker is saying that they haven't gone to New York up until now. The word "always" is used to convey a continuous desire or interest in something. Therefore, the correct answer is "Yet / always" because it accurately reflects the meaning of the sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    The statement "she's going to" means in Spanish "Ella va a..."

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "she's going to" means in Spanish "Ella va a..." This is a true statement because "she's going to" is the English translation of "Ella va a..." in Spanish.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Have you went to Chicago is grammatically correct.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is grammatically incorrect. The correct form of the question should be "Have you gone to Chicago?" The verb "go" in the present perfect tense requires the past participle form "gone" instead of "went." Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    I have been single ___________ four years now and I do need a boyfriend.

    • For

    • Since

    • Yet

    • Always

    Correct Answer
    A. For
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "For". This is because the speaker is mentioning the duration of time they have been single, which is four years. The word "for" is used to indicate a period of time. Therefore, the sentence implies that the speaker has been single for four years and now feels the need for a boyfriend.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    The present perfect states something that occured in the past but its action "hasn't finished yet"

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The present perfect tense is used to talk about actions or events that started in the past and are still ongoing or have a connection to the present. It indicates that the action or event has not finished yet. Therefore, the statement "The present perfect states something that occurred in the past but its action hasn't finished yet" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    You haven't drink coffee yet, is grammatically correct.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is grammatically incorrect. The correct form should be "You haven't drunk coffee yet." The verb "drink" needs to be in the past participle form "drunk" to make the sentence grammatically accurate. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Will is used for all future tenses

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    False. While "will" is commonly used to form the future tense in English, it is not the only way to express future actions or events. Other structures like "going to," the present simple, and the present continuous are also used to talk about the future.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Have you be in Australia? This question is grammatically incorrect.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement "Have you be in Australia?" is grammatically incorrect because it uses the wrong form of the verb "be". The correct form should be "Have you been in Australia?" which is in the present perfect tense. The verb "be" should be in the past participle form "been" to indicate an action that started in the past and is still relevant in the present. Therefore, the correct answer is true, as the statement is indeed grammatically incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    The tense "is going to" is used things that are going to happen in a very long term

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The tense "is going to" is actually used to talk about future events or plans that have already been decided or arranged, regardless of the length of time involved. It is not specifically limited to things that are going to happen in a very long term.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    I have studied English ___________ two years.

    • SINCE

    • FOR

    Correct Answer
    A. FOR
    Explanation
    The correct phrase to complete the sentence is "for." In English, "for" is used to indicate a duration of time. When talking about how long something has been happening, "for" is followed by a period, such as "two years." Therefore, the sentence "I have studied English for two years" correctly uses "for" to show the length of time the activity has been ongoing.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    Past uses DID as an auxiliar to do affirmative statements

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In the given statement, it is mentioned that past uses DID as an auxiliary to do affirmative statements. This statement is incorrect. In the past, DID is used as an auxiliary verb to form questions and negative statements in the simple past tense. For affirmative statements in the past, the main verb is used without the auxiliary DID. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 24.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The given statement "He's going to have dinner tonight" is not in the future tense. It is actually in the present progressive tense, indicating an action that is planned or scheduled to happen in the near future. The use of "going to" as a future marker is incorrect in this context, as it is used to express intentions or plans made in advance.
