Which sentence is correct?
- A.
Next my hose there's a park
- B.
Next to my hose there's a park
Correct Answer
B. Next to my hose there's a parkExplanation
The correct sentence is "Next to my hose there's a park." The word "next" indicates the location of the park in relation to the speaker's house. The word "to" is used to show the connection or proximity between the two locations. "Hose" seems to be a typographical error, and it should be "house" instead.Rate this question:

Which sentence is correct?
- A.

- B.
Look at that house over there!
Correct Answer
B. Look at that house over there!Explanation
The correct answer is "Look at that house over there!" because the word "that" is used to refer to something that is farther away from the speaker. In this case, the speaker is referring to a house that is not close to them, so "that" is the appropriate word to use.Rate this question:

- B.
Where you went yesterday?
Correct Answer
A. Where did you go yesterday?Explanation
The correct sentence is "Where did you go yesterday?" This sentence follows the correct word order for a question in English, which is subject + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb.

Which sentence is correct?
- A.

Correct Answer
B. Did you see Jane last week?Explanation
The correct answer is "Did you see Jane last week?" because it follows the correct structure for asking a question in the past tense using the auxiliary verb "did" and the base form of the main verb "see". The sentence "You see Jane last week?" is incorrect because it lacks the auxiliary verb "did" to form a question in the past tense.Rate this question:

Which sentence is correct?
- A.
Did she get the job?
- B.
Did she got the job?
Correct Answer
A. Did she get the job?Explanation
The correct sentence is "Did she get the job?" because when forming a question in the past tense, the auxiliary verb "did" is used to indicate the past tense, and the main verb remains in its base form (without the "-ed" ending). Therefore, the correct form is "get" rather than "got".Rate this question:

Which sentence is correct?
- A.
