Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
"___________ you from Barcelona?"
"No, I'm not."

A
Is

B
Are

C
Do

D
Where

Solution

The correct answer is Option C.
ARE is used with plural nouns except when followed by the word YOU.
Therefore in the given sentence, ARE is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Option A: IS is used exclusively with singular nouns.
Option C: DO is used when there is an active action happening. There is no such action happening here.
Option D: WHERE is used when we ask about any place.
Hence Option B is the correct answer.
Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the given sentence:
__________ you watch a movie last night?

A
Had

B
Are

C
Did

D
Will

Solution

The given sentence is in simple past tense, as suggested by the words "last night". It's in question form, hence the verb 'watch' is used in the place of 'watched'.
Option A: 'Had' is an auxiliary verb, which when combined with a past participle, forms a past perfect tense. 'Had watched', for example, where 'watched' is a past participle. The past perfect tense indicates an action that takes place before another.
The given sentence does not indicate more than one action. Hence option A is incorrect.
Option B: 'Are' indicates the present continuous tense. It combines with a present participle, for example, 'are watching'. (where 'watching' is a present participle). The sentence is in past tense, hence B is incorrect.
Option D: 'Will' refers to the future, whereas the sentence indicates the past. Hence D is incorrect.
Option C: 'Did' is an auxiliary verb that indicates the simple past tense. Hence it is the most suitable option, and C is correct.

"It's really exciting!"

does
