1) Which sentence is correct?
• “She” is singular, so we use “doesn’t” instead of “don’t.”
• After “doesn’t,” we use the base form of the verb (“like” not “likes” or “liked”).
Why others are wrong:
A) Don’t is for plural subjects.
C) “Isn’t liking” is incorrect because “like” is a stative verb.
D) “Didn’t liked” is wrong—”didn’t” needs the base form (“like”).
2) Choose the correct sentence:
• “Since 2018” refers to a starting point in the past that continues to the present.
• The present perfect continuous (“have been working”) is used for actions that started in the past and are still ongoing.
Why others are wrong:
A) “I am working” doesn’t work with “since” because present continuous is for temporary actions, not ongoing ones from the past.
C) “I worked” suggests a completed action, but “since 2018” means it’s still happening.
D) “I will work” is future tense, which doesn’t match “since 2018” (past reference).
3) Complete the sentence: I _______ finished my homework when my friend arrived.
The sentence describes two past events:
1. Finishing homework (earlier past).
2. Friend arriving (later past).
Past perfect (“had already finished”) is used to show that one past action happened before another past event.
Why others are wrong:
A) “already” is incomplete – it needs a verb.
B) “was already” is incorrect because “was” is for states, not completed actions.
D) “has already” is present perfect, but the sentence is about the past.
4) Which form of the verb is correct? “By the time we get there, the shop _______.”
• “By the time we get there” refers to a future moment.
• We use future perfect (“will have closed”) to show that an action will be completed before another future event.
Why others are wrong:
A) “Will be closed” describes a state, not an action.
B) “Would have closed” is for hypothetical or past conditions, not the future.
D) “Will closing” is incorrect because “will” must be followed by a base verb.
5) Choose the correct option to complete the sentence: “If I _______ more money, I would travel the world.”
• This is a second conditional sentence (hypothetical present/future situation).
• The structure is: If + past simple, would + base verb.
• “Had” is the past simple of “have,” making it grammatically correct.
Why others are wrong:
B) “have” is present tense, but the second conditional needs past simple.
C) “would have” is for third conditional (past situations), not present hypotheticals.
D) “will have” is future perfect, which doesn’t fit here.
6) Which sentence is in the passive voice?
• In the passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject and the verb is in the form “be” + past participle.
• “Is being built” follows this structure: be (is being) + past participle (built).
Why others are wrong:
A) “They are building a new school.” → Active voice (subject “they” is performing the action).
C) “They built a new school.” → Active voice (subject “they” is performing the action).
D) “A new school will build.” → Incorrect structure; “build” should be in passive form (“will be built”).
7) Choose the correct sentence:
• “Tell” is used with an object (someone receiving the message).
• The correct structure is: tell + object + to-infinitive → “He told me to go home.”
Why others are wrong:
A) “He said me to go home.” → “Say” doesn’t take an object in this way (correct: “He said to me” or “He said that…”).
B) “He told to me to go home.” → Extra “to” makes it incorrect.
D) “He said me that go home.” → Incorrect word order and structure (“He said that I should go home” would be correct).
8) Complete the sentence: “While I _______ TV, the phone rang.”
• This sentence describes an interrupted past action (one action was ongoing when another happened).
• The correct tense for an ongoing action in the past is past continuous (“was watching”).
Why others are wrong:
B) “had watched” → Past perfect is used for actions completed before another past event, but here, the action was ongoing.
C) “am watching” → Present continuous doesn’t match the past event (“the phone rang”).
D) “watched” → Simple past suggests two completed actions, but we need to show that one action was in progress when the other happened.
9) Choose the correct form of the verb: “I wish I _______ more time to finish this project.”
• “I wish” is followed by the past simple to express a present unreal situation (something we want but don’t have).
• “Had” (past simple) is used to show that right now, you don’t have enough time.
Why others are wrong:
A) “have” → Present tense is incorrect after “I wish.”
C) “will have” → Future tense isn’t used with “I wish” for present regrets.
D) “has” → Incorrect verb form (should be “had” for past simple).
10) Complete the sentence: “You should _______ your homework before watching TV.”
• “Should” is a modal verb, and modal verbs are always followed by the base form of the verb (without “to”).
• Correct structure: should + base verb → “should finish.”
Why others are wrong:
A) “to finish” → Modals don’t take “to” before the verb.
B) “finishing” → Gerunds (verb + -ing) don’t follow “should.”
C) “finished” → Past tense is incorrect; “should” requires the base form.
11) Choose the correct synonym for “important”:
“Important” means something that is significant or crucial, and “necessary” shares a similar meaning of something that is required or needed.
Why others are wrong:
A) “insignificant” → The opposite of important.
C) “easy” → Not related to the meaning of important.
D) “boring” → Completely unrelated in meaning.
12) Complete the sentence: “The teacher _______ the instructions clearly.”
• “Explained” is the best verb when referring to giving clear instructions or information.
• “Explain” means to make something clear or easy to understand, which fits with the context of instructions.
Why others are wrong:
B) “asked” → This implies a question, not explaining something.
C) “said” → Too general; “said” doesn’t imply clarity or explanation.
D) “talked” → Too vague for this context; “talked” doesn’t necessarily mean the instructions were clear.
13) Choose the word that is closest in meaning to “difficult”:
“Difficult” and “hard” both refer to something that is not easy to do or understand. They are synonyms.
Why others are wrong:
A) “easy” → The opposite of difficult.
C) “simple” → The opposite of difficult.
D) “fun” → Not related in meaning to difficult.
14) What is the opposite of “cheap”?
“Cheap” refers to something that costs little, and the opposite of that is “expensive,” which refers to something that costs a lot.

B) “small” → Not related to cost.
C) “difficult” → Not related to cost.
D) “large” → Not related to cost.
15) Complete the sentence: “It is important to _______ your goals in life.”
“Achieve” means to successfully accomplish or reach something, especially goals, which fits perfectly with the sentence.
Why others are wrong:
A) “arrive” → Typically used for reaching a destination, not goals.
C) “defeat” → Means to overcome someone or something in a competition, not related to goals.
D) “lose” → The opposite of what you do with goals.
16) Which word is closest in meaning to “angry”?
“Furious” means extremely angry, so it is the closest in meaning to “angry.”
Why others are wrong:
A) “happy” → The opposite of angry.
B) “calm” → The opposite of angry.
C) “upset” → While “upset” can mean upset or angry, “furious” is stronger and more intense.
17) Choose the correct option: “The food in that restaurant is _______ and tasty.”
“Delicious” means that the food tastes very good, which fits with the description of being tasty.
Why others are wrong:
B) “boring” → Not related to taste; describes something dull or uninteresting.
C) “poor” → Not related to taste; means of low quality.
D) “plain” → Can mean simple or not flavorful, which is opposite of tasty.
18) Complete the sentence: “We need to _______ this problem before it gets worse.”
“Discuss” means to talk about or consider a problem, which is what needs to be done before it gets worse.
Why others are wrong:
A) “ignore” → Ignoring the problem would likely make it worse.
C) “argue” → Arguing may not be productive in solving the problem.
D) “reject” → Rejecting the problem doesn’t solve it.
19) Choose the best option: “He always _______ his promises.”
“Keeps his promises” means to fulfill or honor them, which is the most common phrase.

D) “breaks” → This means not fulfilling the promises, which is the opposite of “keeps.”
20) What is the correct word to complete the sentence? “She is _______ about starting her new job.”
