5. Complete the sentences with the appropiate form of the verb in parentheses (to+verb, or verb+ing) Mark loves ______________ (go) to clubs.

Explanation

The correct answer is "going" because it is the appropriate form of the verb to complete the sentence. In this case, "loves" is followed by the base form of the verb, which is "go." Therefore, the sentence should be completed with "going," which is the present participle form of the verb "go."

Submit
6. Complete the sentences with the appropiate form of the verb in parentheses (to+verb, or verb+ing) We all want ______________ (see) the new Keanu Reeves movie.

The correct answer is "to see" because the sentence is expressing a desire or intention to watch the new Keanu Reeves movie. The phrase "want to" is followed by the base form of the verb, which in this case is "see."

Submit
7. Complete the sentences with the appropiate form of the verb in parentheses (to+verb, or verb+ing) I always enjoy ______________ (go) out with my friends.

Explanation

The correct answer is "going" because it is the present participle form of the verb "go" which is used to indicate an ongoing action or a habitual activity. In this sentence, "enjoy" is the main verb and it is followed by the gerund form "going" to show that the speaker always finds pleasure in the activity of going out with friends.

Submit
8. Complete the sentences with the appropiate form of the verb in parentheses (to+verb, or verb+ing) I like ______________ (go) to the beach on vacation

Explanation

The correct answer is "going" because the sentence is expressing a preference or enjoyment of an activity. The verb "like" is followed by the gerund form of the verb, which is "going" in this case.

Submit
9. Complete the sentences with the appropiate form of the verb in parentheses (to+verb, or verb+ing) I´d prefer ______________ (have) a cat than a dog.

Explanation

The correct answer is "having, to have." In this sentence, the speaker is expressing a preference for the action of "having" a cat over "having" a dog. The use of "to have" in the second option is incorrect because it does not match the form of the verb in the first part of the sentence.

Submit
10. Choose the verbs in parentheses in the correct form. Las night I ___________ (sleep) when my brother ___________ (come) home.

Explanation

The correct answer is "was sleeping / came". This is because the action of sleeping (was sleeping) is in progress at a specific past time (last night), while the action of coming (came) happened at the same time.

Submit
11. What does curly mean?

Explanation

The word "curly" is a term used to describe hair that has a wavy or coiled texture. It can refer to both the overall appearance of the hair and the individual strands themselves. "Ondulado" is the Spanish word for "curly," while "pelo ondulado" and "cabello ondulado" specifically mean "curly hair" in Spanish. "Rizos" is another Spanish word that translates to "curls" in English. Therefore, all of the given options accurately define the meaning of "curly."

Submit

17. Choose the verbs in parentheses in the correct form. My parents ___________ (watch) a movie when my aunt ___________ (call)

Explanation

The correct answer is "were watching, called". This is because the sentence is in the past continuous tense, indicating an ongoing action in the past. "Were watching" is the correct form of the verb "watch" in the past continuous tense. "Called" is the correct form of the verb "call" in the past simple tense, indicating a completed action in the past.

Submit
18.  

Explanation

The correct answer is "were having / stopped." This is because the sentence is describing an ongoing action in the past (passengers were having lunch) that was interrupted by another event (the train stopped). The past progressive tense ("were having") is used to show the ongoing action, while the simple past tense ("stopped") is used to show the interruption.

Submit
19. Choose the correct form (past progressive or simple past) in the sentence. Nobody saw/was seeing the robbers´ faces because they wore/were wearing masks.

Explanation

The correct answer is "saw / were wearing." In this sentence, the past simple tense "saw" is used to describe the action of nobody seeing the robbers' faces. The past progressive tense "were wearing" is used to describe the ongoing action of the robbers wearing masks.

Submit
20. Check the sentences that correspond to General likes.

Explanation

The sentences "I love eating out" and "I enjoy dancing" correspond to general likes because they express a positive preference or enjoyment for those activities. The other sentences do not indicate a general like or preference. "I want to stay at home" expresses a desire to stay home, not necessarily a like or dislike. "Why don't we eat at Mamma Mia?" suggests a suggestion or proposal, not a personal preference. "I'd rather not" indicates a preference against something, but it does not specify a general like or dislike.

Submit
21. Choose the verbs in parentheses in the correct form. You weren´t home on Sunday afternoon. What ___________ you ___________ (do)?

Explanation

The correct answer is "were, doing". This is because the question is asking about an action that was happening in the past, specifically on Sunday afternoon. The verb "were" is the past tense of the verb "to be" and is used to describe the subject "you" in the past. The verb "doing" is in the present participle form and is used to describe the action that "you" were engaged in on Sunday afternoon.

Submit
22. Check the sentences that correspond to Accepting.

Explanation

The sentences "Good idea." and "That's fine with me." both indicate acceptance or agreement with a suggestion or proposal. In both cases, the speaker is expressing a positive attitude towards the idea or suggestion being presented.

Submit
23. Choose the correct form (past progressive or simple past) in the sentence. When the robbers got/were getting on the train, the guard slept/was sleeping

Explanation

The correct answer is "got / was sleeping". In this sentence, we are talking about two actions that were happening simultaneously in the past. The action of the robbers getting on the train is a shorter action that interrupts the ongoing action of the guard sleeping. Therefore, we use the past progressive form "was sleeping" to show that the guard's action was already in progress when the robbers got on the train. The simple past form "got" is used to indicate the action of the robbers getting on the train.

Submit
