  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate tense form:
    "I passed my driving test!"
    "That's great! I ______ some champagne to celebrate!"
    Solution
    Answer : B

    Explanation:
    Quotation marks are used to mention the exact words spoken during a conversation.
    So basically it can be understood as the written form of verbal communication.

    And to talk about things that have not happened yet, we use the future tense.
    Specifically we use the simple future tense to talk about things that will start and end in future.

    Looking at the alternatives:
    --will buy : "will" is used in sentences of future tense, and with it we use the base / root form of the verb. Now here it is important to know that we use "will" when we are making a decision at that particular moment or a prediction.
    --am going to buy : future tense; "going to" indicates the intention / plan of the speaker; and with that we use the base form of the verb. Please note that we use "going to" when talking about a decision that was made prior to the conversation.
    --bought : past tense
    --was buying : past continuous form of the verb

    From the second sentence we get the idea that it was in that particular moment that the person got to know that the first person had passed the test, he/she decided to celebrate it with champagne. Thus it was a decision made at that very particular moment and was not pre-planned.
    Thus grammatically the most suitable alternative is "will buy".

    Therefore the correct complete sentence is:
    "I passed my driving test!"
    "That's great! I WILL BUY some champagne to celebrate!"
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct option.
    Evidence shows that Jackson _____ inside the house at the time of the murder.
    Solution
    Since the sentence refers to the location of Jackson in the past, simple past tense should be used. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect. 

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate tense form:
    "Why have you bought so many ingredients?"
    "Because I __________ a meal for two people."
    Solution
    Answer : B

    Explanation:

    Quotation marks are used to mention the exact words spoken during a conversation.
    So basically it can be understood as the written form of verbal communication.

    The first sentence is in present perfect tense, where one person is asking the other about the ingredients for the meal.
    Now it is very natural to understand when that conversation was happening the meal was not yet prepared.

    And to talk about things that haven't happened yet, we use the future tense.

    Looking at the alternatives:
    --cook : base / root form of the verb
    --am going to cook : future tense; "going to" indicates the intention / plan of the speaker; and with that we use the base form of the verb.
    --will cooking : "will" is used in sentences of future tense, but with "will" the present progressive tense of the verb is not used unless it is future continuous tense (i.e. will be cooking) or future perfect continuous (i.e. will have been cooking)
    --had cook : "had cook" is grammatically incorrect, with "had" we need to used the past participle of the verb , i.e. "cooked". Moreover "had" is used for past tense & it's sub-types.

    Thus, the grammatically correct alternative is "am going to cook".

    Therefore the correct complete sentence is:
    "Why have you bought so many ingredients?"
    "Because I AM GOING TO COOK a meal for two people."
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    They ________ at the King's Restaurant last night.
    Solution
    Here, 'ate' in Simple Past Tense is correct because it indicates an action that has already been completed. Here, they 'ate' (an action already been completed) at ....
    'Eat' in present simple is incorrect because 
    it is used to indicate a future event on a designated date as part of a plan.
    'Eating' is grammatically incorrect. 
    'Did ate' is grammatically incorrect. It would have been correct if it was 'did eat'.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    Mohammed Ali ___________ his first world title fight in 1960.
    Solution
    Since the action of winning happened in the indefinite past, simple past tense should be used. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate reply to the given question.
    Where is the new student from? ____________________________.
    Solution
    In the given context, 'where... from' is used to indicate the place of origin/residence. 
    So, option B 'from Bursa' is correct as it indicates that Bursa is the place where the new student is from. 
    Options A, C and D are all incorrect as they use 'coming/come/came' which indicate that Bursa is the place from where the new student is arriving. This implies that Bursa might be a place on the way from where the new student has taken a connecting transport to arrive here. It does not indicates the place of origin/residence. 
    Thus, option B is correct.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The student ________ something to write with.
    Solution
    Here, 'needs', in simple present tense, is correct because this tense is used to indicate a future event as a part of a plan. Here, the student is planning to write, for that he needs something. 
    'Is needing', in present continuous tense, is incorrect because this tense is used to indicate an action that is going on as we speak. Example: He is eating a burger for dinner.
    'Is need' and 'is needed' do not fit in the sentence.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    ________ to the market, when it started to rain.
    Solution
    The context refers to an action that took place in the past and had already been completed. 
    Thus, this is in simple past tense. The simple past tense uses the past participle of the verb.
    Here, "I was just about to go" concurs with the context as it implies an action that has already been completed in the past. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
    "I would just go" implies a wish or preference. This is incorrect in the context.
    "I'm just about to go" is in simple present tense and does not concur with the context.
    "I've just about gone" is in present perfect tense and is incorrect in the given context.
    Thus, option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
    Dan: Have you ever seen her secret house?
    Bob: Yes, _________ last year.
    Solution

    The simple past tense is used to show that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past. It is also frequently used to talk about past habits and generalisations. It is formed using the past participle of the verb. “I saw it” in option C indicates an action already completed. It does not need necessarily an adverb of time. Thus, this is the correct answer.
    “I had seen it” in option A indicates past perfect tense and is used to indicate a completed action that took place before another event took place. This is incorrect as the context just refers to the action being completed in the past.
    “I have seen it” in option B indicates the present perfect tense as it is used to indicate an action that started in the past and is continuing till now. This does not concur with the sentence.
    “I did see it” in option D is incorrect as “did” is the past participle of the verb “do” and indicates performing an action, the precise nature of which is often unspecified. This is grammatically incorrect.
    Thus, option C is the correct answer.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
    ________ but I didn't have enough money.
    Solution
    The main clause in the given sentence is in simple past tense and implies a condition/action that has already taken place. 
    However, the subordinate clause of the sentence indicates an uncompleted action of the past. It indicates something that should have happened but did not. 
    Thus, option C "I was going to buy it" follows the Subject + was + verb (+ ing) + object. Thus, this is the correct answer.
    "I would buy it" in option A implies a wish or preference. This does not concur with the context.
    "I will have bought it" uses the incorrect tense.
    "I'll buy it" is not in tense agreement with the main clause of the sentence.
    Thus, option C is the correct answer.
