    What does tall mean?

  • 3. 

    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."

  • 4. 

    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.

    Explanation
    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."

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

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

    • Slept / was comming

    • Was sleeping / came

    Correct Answer
    A. Was sleeping / came
    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.

    What does curly mean?

    Correct Answer
    ondulado
    pelo ondulado
    cabello ondulado
    rizos
    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."

    • Asks, listened

    • Was asking, listened

    Correct Answer
    A. Asked, wasn´t listening
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "asked, wasn't listening". This is because the sentence is in the past tense, so "asked" is the correct past tense form of "ask". Additionally, "wasn't listening" is the correct negative form in the past tense.

    • Was watching, called

    • Watched, was calling

    • Were watching, called

    • Watching, calling

    Correct Answer
    A. Were watching, called
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

     

    • Had / stopped

    • Were having / stopped

    • Had / was stopping

    • Were / was stopping

    Correct Answer
    A. Were having / stopped
    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.

    Rate this question:

    • Saw / wore

    • Was seeing / wore

    • Saw / were wearing

    • Was seeing / were wearing

    Correct Answer
    A. Saw / were wearing
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Check the sentences that correspond to General likes.

    • I want to stay at home

    • I love eating out

    • Why don´t we eat at Mamma Mia?

    • I enjoy dancing

    • I´d rather not

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. I love eating out
    A. I enjoy dancing
    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.

    Rate this question:

    • Did, do

    • Were, doing

    • Did, doing

    • Were, do

    Correct Answer
    A. Were, doing
    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.

    • No, I don´t think so.

    • I love eating out.

    • I want to stay at home.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Good idea.
    A. That´s fine with me.
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    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

    • Got / slept

    • Were getting / slept

    • Got / was sleeping

    • Were getting / was sleeping

    Correct Answer
    A. Got / 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.
