Tenses Test - 89

Since the work was done in the indefinite past, simple past tense of the verb "make" should be used, that is, made. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect. 

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'.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  

The context refers to an action that has already been completed in the past. This is simple past tense. 
Option B "I wrote to them" is the correct answer as it mentions that the action has already been completed twice last month.
"I'd written to them" is in past perfect tense and indicates an event that took place before another event took place. This does not concur with the context.
"I've written to them" is incorrect as it is in present perfect tense.
"I would have written to them" is incorrect as it indicates a preference. 
Thus, option B is correct.
