2. Who did you go with?

Explanation

The correct answer is "I went with my parents" because the question is asking about a past event, so the correct verb tense to use is the past tense. "Went" is the past tense of "go," which matches the verb tense in the question. The other options, "goed" and "go," are not in the past tense and do not match the question.

Submit
3. How did you go to Paris?

Explanation

The correct answer is "I went to Paris by plane." This is the correct answer because it uses the past tense form of the verb "go" (went) to indicate that the action of going to Paris has already happened. Additionally, it correctly uses the preposition "by" to indicate the mode of transportation (plane) used to travel to Paris. The other options ("I go to Paris by plane" and "I goed to Paris by plane") are incorrect because they either use the present tense form of the verb or an incorrect past tense form.

Submit
4. I __________ my maths homework yesterday.

Explanation

The correct answer is "did" because it is the past tense form of the verb "do." Since the sentence is referring to an action that happened in the past ("yesterday"), the verb needs to be in the past tense.

Submit
5. They_________  a farm two weeks ago.

Explanation

The correct answer is "visited" because the sentence is in the past tense and refers to an action that happened two weeks ago. "Visited" is the past tense form of the verb "visit" and correctly indicates the completed action of visiting the farm in the past.

Submit
6. Who did you meet there?

Explanation

The correct answer is "I met two English girls." This is because the verb "meet" is in the past tense, so it should be conjugated as "met" instead of "meet" or "meeted." Additionally, the use of "I" as the subject is appropriate in this sentence.

Submit
7. How long did you stay there?

Explanation

The correct answer is "I stayed there two weeks." This answer is correct because it uses the past tense verb "stayed" to indicate that the person is talking about a past action. Additionally, the word "there" is used correctly to refer to a specific location. The phrase "two weeks" is also grammatically correct and provides a clear answer to the question about the duration of the person's stay.

Submit
8. The children_________  at home last weekend.

Explanation

The correct answer is "were not." This is the correct answer because the subject "children" is plural, so the verb "were" should be used instead of "was." The word "not" is added to indicate that the action of being at home did not happen.

Submit
9. The boys_________mudguards of their bicycles

Explanation

The correct answer is "took off." In this sentence, the verb should be in the past tense to match the subject "boys" and indicate that the action of removing the mudguards from their bicycles has already happened. "Took off" is the correct past tense form of the verb "take off."

Submit
10. Jenny and Peggy their brother.

Explanation

The correct answer is "did not help." This is because the sentence is in the past tense, indicated by the use of "did" and "brother." Therefore, the correct verb form to use is "did not help," which shows that Jenny and Peggy did not assist their brother in the past.
